- Game Parks
Africa is a wild continent and Southern Africa has fought hard to save her wildlife. A multitude of game parks pepper the area ranging from the impossibly exclusive to the downright affordable. A trip to the Kruger National Park is well worth while – although it is by no means the only game park worth visiting. This icon tells you that you're within game park visiting distance.

Sleep in a tree house surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Having run tours into Kruger Park since 1991, it’s no wonder these chaps are on first name basis with the local wildlife. They offer 3, 4 or 6 day safaris. At night you can swing from the trees in Marc’s Tree-house Lodge. This unique Tarzan-type living provides all the mod cons necessary for a lekker night’s sleep and each tree-house has its own fan, mozzie net, linen, towels, soap and private ablutions. Open vehicle game drives in Kruger provide superb opportunities for shooting (photographically speaking). In elevated open-sided vehicles you’ll get close enough to give the Big Five a high five. All safaris include a night drive, a visit to the Blyde River Canyon and a bush walk with an armed ranger who’ll educate you about the finer things in wildlife - like spoor, beetles and dung. Viva safari, viva!
