Overview
Riverside Tented Safari
Lions Rock Rapids is situated on the banks of the iconic Sabie River. The camp offers guests a central base from which to explore this beautiful destination at leisure. Whilst spending time at the camp, guests are encouraged to enjoy the prolific birdlife where guests are welcome to partake in a brief hike on the grounds, or simply sit with a chilled chardonnay on the banks of the Sabie River, taking in all that nature has to offer.
An incredible 3 Star Luxury Tented Lodge Tour to Kruger National Park in South Africa. The Kruger Explorer Safari travels from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park via the Panorama Route highlights of God’s Window, Lisbon Falls and Graskop.
After settling in at the comfortable lodge we embark on an afternoon or evening game drive in Kruger. Spend a full day game viewing in open 4×4 safari vehicles on day two, hopefully sighting the Big Five, amongst numerous other wild animals and birds in the vast Kruger Park. Take a final game drive on the third morning, before returning to Johannesburg where this action-packed Kruger Explorer Safari ends.
