OR start the day early on this intimate small group safari (less than 10 people) optionally booked from accommodations in Johannesburg (the arranged professional pick-up driver will take guests to the shuttle pick-up point).
The optional shuttle from Johannesburg to Kruger Park leaves either at 6:45 am from the OR Tambo bus terminal (ZAR 1750 per person one-way).
