If you dream of a true African wilderness adventure without the high lodge price tag, Safari Link SA’s 4-Day Sekekama Safari invites you into a world of rich game drives, relaxing glamping, and scenic landscapes. This budget-friendly safari combines the excitement of open-vehicle game viewing with the comfort of solar-powered tents.
Sekekama Tented Camp sits in the Motlala Game Reserve, which borders Kruger National Park and the private Blue Canyon Reserve, giving unique access to a mix of wild terrain, supporting big predators, plains game and a wide variety of species.
What sets this safari apart is the combination of budget glamping and quality guiding. The tents are fully solar-powered, furnished with proper beds, linens and towels. Shared ablution facilities are clean and practical, and the communal areas give you space to socialise and relax.
This safari is carefully designed to maximise value while maintaining a high standard of service: expert guides, open-top 4×4 vehicles, included transfers from OR Tambo, and a chance to add optional extras like a scenic Panorama Route tour on the way back.
