    Unforgettable experience

    I am a Safari enthusiast and this was my 3rd Safari with Balanta Imagine. I also decided to add the Swaziland tour this time and glad I did, it’s a very fun event learning about Swazi culture, the traditional dancing, and the drive is lovely. The Kholiwe Lodge is a very lovely boutique lodge. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. I requested the Tau room which has an inside shower as well as an outside shower and beautiful outside bathtub under the stars. I can’t say enough about the staff at Kholiwe, everyone was so nice, attentive, and professional. They make you feel at home and go out of their was to accommodate you. The food was absolutely delicious and eating under the stars in the boma, next to the fire is very memorable. The game drives was the highlight among others. The guide was able to get 4 of the big five being Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, and an awesome sighting of a Leopard in a tree with a kill. Aubrey is the Man! I highly recommend Balanta if you want to have an unforgettable Safari experience and without burning a hole in your pocket.

    3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.

    How much does 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,226 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Kruger & Swaziland Tour from Johannesburg start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Johannesburg?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
