Tremisana Lodge Safaris

The lodge is serviced by two excellent boreholes. Its proximity to the tar road means Tremisana is easily accessible all year round, including the rainy season. The presence of lions, elephants and buffalo necessitates the maintaining of an electric fence around the camp.

Staying at Tremisana Lodge

Tremisana is the largest and leading lodge in the Balule section of Kruger Park. We have a total of 15 chalets plus a two-bedroomed Guest House. Every unit is thatched, is air-conditioned and en suite (shower, toilet, basin) and has a tea/coffee station. Insect-proof screens are fitted on all windows. Each bed has its own mosquito net.

There is a splash pool, open air boma for dinners around a crackling fire and a covered lapa overlooking a waterhole. A very beautiful luxuriant garden boasts numerous bougainvilleas, palms and cycads which give the camp a subtropical tone. Water features add a soothing effect, and the overall feel of Tremisana Lodge is very relaxing. At night, the subdued light along the illuminated paved walkways lends a romantic and magical feel to this outstanding camp.
