3 Nights
A taste of the extraordinary
Three nights give you a wonderful introduction to Oase. You will experience our private reserve, enjoy game drives, great food and the lodge, and begin to feel the rhythm of safari life.
How Long to Stay
More time. A deeper safari.
Two or three nights give you a wonderful safari. Five or more give you Oase. The walking, the river, the long day in Kruger, the slow afternoons and the things nobody plans.

4–5 Nights
Our recommended stay
With four or five nights you have time to really settle in. This allows for a mix of activities — game drives, walking, leopard tracking, a full-day Kruger safari and time to relax at the lodge. Most of our guests feel this is the ideal length of stay.
6+ Nights
A deeper, richer experience
Stay a week or longer and the safari transforms. You will explore more of Kruger, enjoy a wider range of activities, discover the smaller details that make Africa so special and have time to simply be. Many of our most memorable guest experiences happen after day five.

Frequently Asked Questions
Two or three nights give you a wonderful safari, particularly when Oase is part of a wider itinerary. For most guests we recommend four or five nights.
That creates time for the private reserve, a full day in Kruger National Park and experiences beyond the game drive without feeling rushed. Six nights or more gives you even more freedom to slow down, repeat something you loved and let the days unfold naturally.
Two or three nights give you a wonderful safari. Five or more give you Oase.
Yes. Three nights can give you a very good introduction to Oase and the Greater Kruger.
The reason we often recommend longer is not because three nights is a mistake. It is because Oase offers considerably more than a repeated morning and afternoon game drive. Extra nights give you room for Kruger, walking, tracking, night drives, dining, wellness and time when nothing needs to be scheduled.
A longer stay creates room for walking and tracking, night drives, fishing, cycling, cooking, Blyde Dam boat trips, bush picnics, wine and gin tastings, Spa Oase, the gym, Cinema Oase and full-day Kruger safaris.
Nothing is compulsory. The advantage of staying longer is that you do not need to turn the list into a schedule.
Yes, and many guests ask us to. Tell us who is travelling, what interests you and how much time you have, and our Guest Experience Team can suggest a shape for the stay before you arrive.
We deliberately do not treat that plan as a timetable that cannot change. Wildlife, weather and how you feel on the day matter. Your guide and lodge team can adapt the detail as the stay unfolds.
Stay a little longer. Take a little more home.
The days you did not plan are usually the ones you talk about.
