for the night preceding the 27 janv, can you confirm that it's up to us to take financial and organizational responsibility for the Onomo hotel night. Another question, would you stop by the airport if I sleep in a hotel close to the airport (there is for example an "airport Bed and Breakfast" cheaper and very close to the airport and would avoid making the trip to the city. And what is the easy means of transport to access this hotel at 6AM if I'm not there to sleep the night? Between these 2 trips, I plan to stay 3 nights in Johannesburg. How do you reserve the options you propose to visit the city and around the city (optional in the Kruger Safari stay to be booked on arrival). Is this done on your website and how (it is indicated that this is not reserved in advance). And for all these options, does the transporter come to pick up at the hotel where we are, or do we have to move to a specific meeting point each time? Finally for the Cape trip, please confirm that the transporter comes to pick us up at the hotel where we are (it is indicated "your address in cape town cbd at 6H00). Can you indicate to me your advice on the mode of transport to use in the capital (being a single woman, maybe there are precautions to take or not)

We can arrange pre-tour accommodation at the Protea Hotel Balalaika, where the tour departs from, and we can also assist with airport transfers to the hotel. If you have already arranged your own pre-tour accommodation at the ONOMO Hotel, we can still assist with airport transfers to the hotel at an additional cost. We can also arrange a transfer from the ONOMO Hotel to the Protea Hotel Balalaika on the morning of the tour departure. Alternatively, you are welcome to enquire directly with the hotel to see if they offer a shuttle service to the Protea Hotel Balalaika. If you are interested in exploring Johannesburg days tours before your tour, I would be happy to assist with arranging day tours. Day tours include pick-up and drop-off from hotels in the Sandton and Rosebank areas. For hotels located outside these areas, an additional transfer charge may apply.

What would be the price for a single room?

My fright arrives on the 21th at 12:10, what would be the extra cost for a later departure from Johannesburg?

Can I have my own room for this tour?

This is a sharing-basis tour, but you may have your own room if you opt to pay the single supplement fee.

What are the luggage restrictions for the tour?

The luggage restriction is 20kg and should be in a soft bag to fit in our truck locker.

Can I modify my booking if the number of travelers increases?

If the group size changes, please send us the updated details and we can assist accordingly.

What time does the tour start, and where is the meeting point?

The tour starts at 06:00 at the Onomo Signature Lux Hotel.

Is there a group size requirement to confirm the tour?

A minimum of four participants is needed to confirm the tour.

Are vegetarian meal options available during the tour?

Yes, we do cater for vegetarians on the tour.

Can you provide information about the lodges our group will stay in?

The properties used for the Kruger Park tour include Andy's Camp and Hazy-view Greenfire Lodge.

What is the minimum age requirement for participating in the tour?

  Is the 5-day 929€ shared room circuit sure to depart? For the other circuit from 4-9 January, which I would like to do afterwards, it does not have the same name as you, on the site it is called "route des jardins.." . Is this the same? And the excursions I would like to do between these trips, is it with you that I should validate them? And if so will I do it on site or before leaving?
- Drifters Adventure ToursOperator•Written August 2026
  The 5-Day Kruger Tour departs from the Protea Hotel Balalaika in Sandton and also concludes at the same hotel. The cost of the 5-Day Kruger Tour is €929 per person. If you would prefer not to share a room, a single supplement is available at an additional cost of €189.

  I travel alone. What is the price if it's in individual room? I suppose you must wait until there are at least 2 people to open this trip. Is that the reason why you proposed the other trips to me?
