Kruger National Park is South Africa’s premier safari destination and one of Africa’s largest game reserves. The park’s 20,000 km² of mixed bushveld supports exceptional populations of all the Big Five and over 500 bird species. The private concessions on Kruger’s western boundary — the Sabi Sands, Manyeleti, and Timbavati — offer experiences unavailable in the national park: off-road game drives, walking safaris, and night drives. The Sabi Sands in particular is famous for leopard habituated to vehicles — sightings here are among the most reliable and intimate in Africa. Excellent air connections make Kruger a natural extension of an East African itinerary.

The best time is May–September. We plan around the wildlife and conditions you care about, so we'll match your dates to what's happening on the ground.
How many days do I need for Kruger National Park?
We recommend around 4 days here, and we can fold it into a longer Northern Circuit or beach-and-bush itinerary.

A guided safari to Kruger National Park starts from about $1,100 per person, depending on season, lodge tier and group size. We send a transparent, all-in quote before you commit.
How do I get to Kruger National Park?
Most travellers fly into Kilimanjaro (JRO) and start from Arusha. We arrange every transfer, vehicle and internal flight so you never have to work out the logistics yourself.
