a taste for the alternative!
The Treehouse Camp is situated along the elevated banks of

the ground nearby. All the treehouses have fans, mosquito

often come to drink.

DAY 1:
Pickup from your guesthouse/hostel or Johannesburg Airport

we board an open Landcruiser for a Sunset Drive. Toast the
magnificent African sunset with your favourite liquid "sundowner"
. After dark, your ranger will use a powerful spotlight to
identify nocturnal animals. Drive to The Treehouse Lodge where
you will  be
accommodated in fascinating treehouses. Dinner will be held
in our boma, around a crackling open fire.
DAY 2:
After breakfast, we depart for the Orpen Gate of Kruger Park.
From your open Gameviewer you are afforded an outstanding
opportunity to fully experience Africa's wild animals. The
elevated vantage position and absence of glass windows allow
for truly unforgettable sight, sound and scent experiences
and brilliant photographic opportunities. Spend the full day
game-viewing and bird-watching in the company of a knowledgeable
guide. Overnight in your romantic treehouse with the sounds
of the African night to lull you to sleep.
DAY 3:
After breakfast visit the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre,
where orphaned and injured animals and birds are cared for
. After lunch drive to Balule private Big Five Game Reserve
for a late afternoon game drive on an open Landcruiser. After

nocturnal animals. Return to the Camp for dinner and overnight.
DAY 4:
Another full day of gameviewing and birdwatching from the
open Gameviewer. Your guide will use his intimate knowledge
of the Park and travel along different roads in an attempt
to show you the Big Five. From your open Gameviewer, your
chances of seeing the Big Five are greatly enhanced. Dinner
and overnigh t
at the Camp.
DAY 5:
Visit the Endangered Wildlife Project at Kapama, where a guided
tour gets you close to cheetah, wild dogs and other endangered
species. After lunch, we go on a 3-4 hour hike in the Kruger
Park. Your armed Kruger Park rangers lead you into the African
bush on foot following the spoor of big game. They will interpret
spoor, scats and signs left by passing animals. The thrill
of walking, tracking and eventually getting close enough to
photograph big animals is an unforgettable experience.

Drive to our main Lodge in time for an early bushwalk, guided
by an armed ranger. The signs of elephant are everywhere and
the adrenalin is sure to be pumping ! After breakfast, we

arriving by 16h00. Airport dropoff by arrangement.
