Does the tour end in Skukuza? or is there any transfer to Johannesburg?

No, the tour actually finishes back in Johannesburg. On Day 3, you will be picked up at the lodge around 11:00 AM and transferred back to Johannesburg (drop-off is included either at O.R. Tambo Airport or at your accommodation in the city at around 5:30 PM). Skukuza is just the area inside Kruger National Park where the safari game drives take place on Day 2.

Could this tour be slightly customized for a single traveler by adding stops along the Panorama route on the first day instead of an afternoon safari? Then do the morning safari on the last day instead. If so, what would the cost difference be, if any?

The changes you are requesting would require a tailor-made private itinerary, as the current program cannot be rearranged for individual travelers within a shared group tour. Because of this, the itinerary would need to be operated as a private service, and the cost would likely increase significantly (potentially up to approximately double the standard rate) depending on final logistics and availability.

We are trying to book a tour too Kruger, the questions is: We are leaving on the 20th, the tour return time to Tombo airport is 5:30 PM but our flight leaves at 7:30 PM, which is very close. Is there any way that we can be drop off on hour earlier at the airport?

Unfortunately the transfers departure between 11:00 and 11:30am, we recommend booking a later flight or flying the next day.

Can you provide sleeping bags for the trip? Would like to know about February dates around 27th/28th

This tour is now only in lodge option. If they book this month, we can respect this year price. This tour is available all year long

Are airport transfers included?

Yes, airport transfers are included. However, guests need to arrive at the designated meeting point at the airport for these transfers.

Cannot bring our own beverages?

No, guests are not permitted to bring their own beverages. However, there is a restaurant and bar onsite where beverages can be purchased.

Are there additional costs apart from the basic room charges for tent or lodge accommodations?

Yes, additional expenses may include personal expenditures but do not include basic provision such as meals unless specified.

What are the differences between a tent room and a lodge room?

The lodge room generally offers more amenities and comfort compared to the more rustic tent room. Prices differ accordingly.

Can I check availability for a different date?

Yes, availability for alternative dates can be checked. Please provide your preferred dates so we can assist you further.

Can I extend my stay after the tour is over?

Extending your stay can be arranged at an additional cost. Please let us know your plans so we can assist you with the arrangements.

Started our trip with confusion whether to stay in a tent or hut, contacted the agency and got prompt answer. My advice to the agency is to mention in itinerary the type of accommodation clearly. Well, we had a wonderful 3D/2N Stay in Kruger National Park- Petriuskop. Very friendly staff, great service, amazing breakfast and dinner and well arranged trips. Had 2 game drives, one morning for 4 hours with Kurt Safaris, and other Sunset Drive with Outlook Safaris. Both were perfect. We were able to spot all Big 5. Had a 5 hours Panorama Trip which was the best. We enjoyed a lot with our tour, staff and service. I will rate my review as EXCELLENT, regardless the accommodation conflict. Thank you Bamba Experience especially Anuj who was me by e mails every now and then. Show more
