Travel from Marc's Treehouse to Kruger National Park, where you board an open game-viewing vehicle. The absence of windows and elevated vantage position allows for excellent photographic opportunities.

There will be regular stops at picnic spots and rest camps. Your experienced ranger will show you many animals and birds that frequent this wildlife paradise. The Orpen-Satara region boasts open plains and supports large herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope that attract numerous predators. In fact, the zones we visit have the highest concentration of lions in Africa.
