Transfer to Tremisana Lodge (Kruger)

So a full day today transferring from JoBurg to the lodge for my Kruger safari. The van driver from Viva Safaris was right on time at 0800, and then we had to make two other pickups before getting on the road. Six and a half hours to get there with two pit stops and lunch. One stop at a highway service centre was unique with a game farm behind it -- only in Africa! Scenery along the way started out as endless prairie with grain farms and also much unused land. Then, foothills and valleys with vast orchards of oranges, and mandarins all fully laden and ready for picking. It's very scenic. Also, mangos and macadamia nuts. Then through a mountain range.

Tremisana lodge is quite lovely with 15 cottages set in landscaped grounds with a pool and a couple of "lapas" (outdoor lounge/dining areas). We even have our own resident elephants.

We got in after 4 and were back out at 5pm for our first game drive.Baca lagi
