9-Night Kruger Safari: Sabi Sand, Klaserie & Balule Adventure

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from Kruger Mpumalanga Airport, followed by a scenic road transfer to Umkumbe Safari Lodge in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, where you’ll spend your first three nights. Known for its extraordinary wildlife, Sabi Sand offers some of the best opportunities for game viewing in the Greater Kruger.
Each morning, you’ll rise early for an exhilarating game drive, exploring the reserve in the soft morning light as the bush comes alive. After a hearty breakfast, there’s time to relax, take a dip in the pool, or join an optional bush walk to get up close with the smaller wonders of the bush. In the late afternoons, you’ll set out again for an evening game drive, watching as the animals become more active and the sun sets over the horizon. Evenings are spent enjoying dinner under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

After a final morning game drive in Sabi Sand, it’s time to transfer to Klaserie Private Nature Reserve for your next three nights at nThambo Tree Camp. Here, your elevated treehouse-style chalet offers a unique vantage point of the bush at tree level.
In Klaserie, game drives provide a more intimate experience, with fewer vehicles and a serene atmosphere. The morning and afternoon drives uncover the secrets of this unspoiled part of Kruger, guided by experts who share their deep knowledge of the ecosystem. Between game drives, you have the opportunity to take an optional bush walk or simply relax on your private balcony, taking in the incredible views. Dinner is served around the campfire, offering a cozy setting for reflecting on the day’s adventures.

On Day 7, your safari continues with a road transfer to Bundox River Lodge in Balule Game Reserve, where you’ll spend your final three nights. Nestled along the Olifants River, Bundox offers luxury safari tents that combine comfort with a sense of immersion in the bush.
Mornings and afternoons are marked by game drives, with the Olifants River providing a beautiful backdrop for wildlife sightings. Between game drives, enjoy the tranquility of your private deck, which offers excellent views of the river and the chance to see various animals and birdlife. Guided bush walks are also available, allowing you to explore the riverine environment on foot, adding a peaceful yet adventurous aspect to your journey. Evenings are relaxed, with dinner served al fresco under the stars, wrapping up each day in the peaceful embrace of the wilderness.
