Tremisana Game Lodge, Hoedspruit

Tremisana Game Lodge is part of the Balule Game Reserve, which the owners helped establish in the early 1990s. During your stay, you can spot all of the big five (lions, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards), cheetahs, wild dogs, and vervet monkeys right on the property, as well as observe wildlife drinking at the waterhole from the safety and comfort of a covered porch. The lodge features subtropical gardens, including bougainvillea, cycads, and various palms, providing a pleasant contrast to the rugged African bush. Throughout the property, you'll find water features and well-lit paved walkways to ensure you can move around the property safely after dark. 

The lodge has over 15 basic chalets and a two-bedroom guesthouse option. You can choose from different bed arrangements when selecting a chalet, as the rooms have single or double beds equipped with mosquito nets. Regardless of the chalet you choose, each one has air-conditioning. Some travelers may feel that the rooms are bare, as they're sparsely decorated with white walls and simple wooden furniture. 

Make the most of your stay by embarking on game drives in open Landcruiser Gameviewers, guided by experts dedicated to locating the animals you're eager to see. If you prefer to explore on foot, professional rangers lead game walks across the reserve, where you'll identify tracks, scat, and other signs of wildlife. This immersive alternative to a seated safari will take you along the banks of the Olifants River, where you may encounter elephants, hippos, and crocodiles. If you want to cool down after your walk, relax in the splash pool or unwind by the fire pit and enjoy homemade bread and soup cooked by the lodge's supervisor. Your booking fee covers all meals enjoyed on the property and convenient airport pickup and drop-off services.
