Our Kruger holidays & tours
Kruger National Park spans almost 20,000km² and encompasses a vast array of habitats, over 500 species of birds, and more mammals than any other African reserve. Our Kruger holidays range from luxury lodges and top-end safaris to campsites and self-drive tours; there's something for everyone. Don’t miss the surrounding private reserves with their luxury camps, bush walks and nocturnal safaris. Many of our trips have been planned alongside conservationists who ensure that tourism is a positive force in wild areas, and your wildlife sightings can contribute to animal research databases. Our trips work alongside communities to ensure that they benefit from wildlife tourism, too, employing local guides and drivers to enhance your wild Kruger experience.

Kruger National Park map & highlights
Gazetted in 1898, Kruger National Park is larger than neighbouring Swaziland. The south is the most popular region with plenty of lodges, restaurants and campsites; it’s well suited to families and first time safari-goers. It is a five hour drive from Johannesburg, but there are numerous small airports dotted around the park’s borders. The remote north offers a greater sense of wilderness; wildlife is more dispersed but you’ll enjoy fewer visitors and unspoiled landscapes. Kruger’s accommodation includes everything from DIY self drive and camping, to comfortable lodges – though for a more luxurious holiday, we recommend spending time in a private reserve. You’ll share it with few other guests, and be driven around in private vehicles.
Big cats
1. Big cats
Lions are the stars of many a thrilling safari story – regularly bringing down prey just metres from stunned onlookers. The most elusive cat, the leopard is a master of camouflage. It makes it all the more rewarding though when you are able to glimpse one. Cheetahs are common in the park; join a predator conservation programme to learn more about big cats.
Birds
2. Birds
Kruger National Park’s diverse habitats shelter over 500 species of birds. Around 200 of these are migrants which can be seen here between October and March. Characteristic – and charismatic – species include the colourful saddle-billed stork, the enormous secretary bird (1.3m tall), kori bustards, Pel’s fishing owl and a whole rainbow of bee-eaters and sunbirds.
Elephants
3. Elephants
The world’s largest land mammals roam across Kruger in their thousands. They’re a magnificent sight, from enormous males, weighing over three tons, to playful calves learning how to use their trunks. Be careful when driving near them – they are the only animal that can attack while you’re in a vehicle. Never separate a herd – and keep your engine on for a fast getaway if needed.
Private reserves
4. Private reserves
Private reserves offer exclusivity and comfort, with lodging, meals and activities all included. You can’t self-drive, and you won’t get the variety of landscapes – but wildlife is free to roam in from the park – and you won’t be competing with other vehicles for a glimpse. They’re also better for bush walks and nighttime game drives – both are restricted in Kruger.
Rhinos
5. Rhinos
Kruger is the best place in South Africa to see rhino. The white rhino is surprisingly huge yet docile, while the black rhino is smaller and foul-tempered; making it one of the ‘Big Five’ due to the difficulty of hunting it. Track them of foot with a qualified guide for an incredible close encounter with some of the world’s most endangered species.
Wilderness trails
6. Wilderness trails
Nine specialist multi-day treks have been developed in the park, each with a unique focus – such as birds, lions, rhinos or San rock art. The 3-night, 2-day trails are accompanied by expert, licenced guides, and involve sleeping in rustic huts – this is a real wilderness experience. Understandably, they are in great demand – so book well in advance.
