Safari Dream

I am so glad we went through Mzansi.!!!! We absolutely loved our time in Kruger and Panorama Route tour! We saw so many animals: elephants, zebras, lions, buffalo, giraffes, leopard, warthogs, hippos, and more! Dream come true! The lodge was beautiful and so serene. We had some glam-tents which had AC, lights, plumbing…it was awesome (but if you wanted, you could upgrade). The food was amazing and the staff were the greatest. We arranged this tour with a round trip transfer from Joburg provided by this tour. We went on the bus and it was all smooth ride (slept most of the way) and when arriving, we were provided with lunch by the tour and we had a couple of hours to relax before going on our evening safari which in just 2 hours, we saw SO MANY animals! The following day, we had a full day safari which left us so breathless, happy, and smiling non-stop. On day three, we had a full day going about the Panorama Route which was gorgeous. The last day, you had an optional morning safari (I think about 1200-1300 ZAR per person) which a lot of others did, but we were on a tight budget and we were so incredibly happy with our safari experience already that we opted out…but if you have time and money, do it! Due to that, our shuttle ride back to Joburg was for 9 AM (and the others were for later - I believe around 11 AM or 12 PM). Ti be honest, there was some miscommunication by the lodge staff that our shuttle was for 12 PM and when coming for breakfast, they told us that our shuttle was waiting for us and we had to run to our tents and pack up as quickly as possibly. BUT I am grateful that they were willing to hold the bus for us and even have us a breakfast to-go box. The staff apologized so much for the mix-up, but heyC things happen and we made it to the shuttle with no problems! Suggestions: You may have different guides for each day, so make sure to take some rands to have off-hand to give tips at the end of each day. Also, they don’t have the two-hole outlet (it is the one with 3) and they may not have adapters off-hand…so be prepared with the correct adapter. The staff at the lodge helped us borrow one, but worst case scenario, there are some stores nearby where I believe you could find them. Something else I loved about Mzansi is they really communicate well and care about you. We actually had a crazy storm one night and they reached out to us to let us know information and to make sure we were all good (which we were! The storm itself was an adventure!) SO HAPPY WITH THIS TOUR!!! Thank you!!!

Response from the operator: Absolutely love your great review! Thank you. Glad you survived the storm (and were so positive about the experience when I checked in!) that is sure to be a memory added to your wonderful safari experience. Hope to see you in South Africa soon again!

Amazing trip!

I had an excellent time on my 4 day Kruger tour. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. All the staff was very kind and my tour guide, Lucky, was incredible. He knew the land well and the animal behavior, so we were able to track down everything I wanted to see. We saw all the Big 5! This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I cannot recommend it enough!

Response from the operator: Hi Lauren. Thank you for being our guest. We are extremely happy that you had such a good time. Hoping to see you back in near future again. Leon

4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $14480 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 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari take?

+

Plan for about 96 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 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari?

+

Around 1 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 4-Day Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Tented Safari 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 Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria, Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Half Guided Day Tour of Soweto And Apartheid Museum. 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.
