South Africa is a country of contrast and wonder—where cosmopolitan cities meet untamed wilderness, and where you can wake up beneath Table Mountain and fall asleep to the sound of lions roaring in the distance. This blend of urban sophistication and raw natural beauty is exactly what makes a safari in South Africa so compelling. With Africa Moja Tours, this journey becomes seamless, accessible, and unforgettable.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can go on safari while basing yourself in Cape Town or Johannesburg, the answer is a resounding yes. From a fast-paced 3 day Kruger safari from Cape Town, to convenient Johannesburg Pilanesberg transfers, and even day trips like the thrilling Lion Park tour, Africa Moja Tours has created experiences that cater to every kind of traveler—whether you’re a local adventurer or an international guest.
And when it comes to where you’ll rest after long days of exploration, few places are as charming, convenient, and welcoming as Tembo Guest Lodge, located in the lush town of Hazyview near Kruger National Park.
Why Safari from Cape Town?
Cape Town may not be the closest city to Kruger, but it’s one of the best places to begin your South African journey. Known for its breathtaking natural landmarks, wine regions, vibrant culture, and historic significance, Cape Town offers the perfect mix of adventure and luxury. But no visit to South Africa is complete without venturing into the wild heart of the country—the bushveld.
That’s why Africa Moja Tours created the 3 day Kruger safari from Cape Town package. This itinerary is specifically designed for travelers who want to enjoy Cape Town’s highlights and still experience the thrill of a real African safari. The package includes:
- A domestic flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg or Nelspruit
- Comfortable transfers to Kruger National Park or nearby Hazyview
- A two-night stay at Tembo Guest Lodge, known for its tranquil garden setting and proximity to Kruger
- Game drives with expert guides in Kruger National Park
- Optional add-ons such as the Panorama Route or sunset bush braais
This 3-day itinerary strikes the perfect balance between time, value, and experience, allowing even time-strapped travelers to get a true taste of South Africa’s wildlife.
Tembo Guest Lodge: The Hidden Gem in Hazyview
When it comes to safari accommodation, location is everything. And that’s what makes Tembo Guest Lodge such a brilliant choice. Positioned just 10 minutes from the Phabeni Gate of Kruger National Park, this family-run lodge offers unmatched access to South Africa’s most famous safari destination.
Whether you’re arriving from Cape Town, Johannesburg, or even Mozambique, Tembo Guest Lodge welcomes you with:

It’s the preferred accommodation partner for Africa Moja Tours’ Kruger packages, including the 2 day Kruger safari, which is ideal for those on a tight schedule or looking to add a quick safari experience to their itinerary.
The Ideal Express Safari: 2 Day Kruger Safari
If you’re short on time but unwilling to compromise on the safari experience, then the 2 day Kruger safari with Africa Moja Tours is your perfect match. This fast-track package departs early morning from Johannesburg or Nelspruit and whisks you straight into the heart of Kruger for two unforgettable days of game viewing.
The experience includes:
- A scenic drive to Kruger via the N4 or R40 routes
- One night at Tembo Guest Lodge, which includes dinner and breakfast
- An afternoon game drive on Day 1 and a sunrise game drive on Day 2
- A flexible return trip, allowing you to explore more or transfer to other destinations
You’ll still have a strong chance of spotting the Big Five—lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo—along with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, and countless bird species. It’s a short safari that delivers a full-on experience.
Not Ready for Kruger? Try the Lion Park Tour First
If you’ve just landed in Johannesburg and want a wildlife experience that’s close to the city, the Lion Park tour is a fantastic introduction. This half-day experience is often included in multi-day packages by Africa Moja Tours and can also be booked as a standalone excursion.
Highlights include:
- Guided drives through large predator enclosures
- Up-close encounters with lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and even white lions

Located just 45 minutes from Sandton, the Lion Park tour is especially popular with families, business travelers with limited time, or first-time visitors looking to ease into a safari adventure.
Travel Made Easy: Johannesburg Pilanesberg Transfers
Safari experiences aren’t limited to Kruger. Pilanesberg National Park, located just two hours from Johannesburg, offers a malaria-free safari alternative with equally impressive wildlife viewing. But getting there can be a challenge if you’re not familiar with South Africa’s transport routes.
That’s where Africa Moja Tours comes in. With reliable and comfortable Johannesburg Pilanesberg transfers, travelers can book one-way or round-trip shuttles with peace of mind. These transfers are:
- Safe and air-conditioned

They also allow for seamless add-ons, such as Sun City day tours or overnight lodge stays, making your Pilanesberg visit part of a wider South African itinerary.
