AWARD-WINNING KRUGER SAFARIS

Experience The Captivating Wildlife of Kruger National Park

Q: Which Kruger safari package is the most popular?

Our most popular tour is the 3 Day Classic Kruger Park Safari, offering the ideal balance of wildlife viewing, comfortable accommodation and value for money. Guests enjoy multiple guided game drives, excellent opportunities to see the Big Five and enough time to fully experience Kruger National Park.

Q: How many days should I spend in Kruger National Park?

We recommend spending at least three days in Kruger National Park for the best wildlife experience. Multiple game drives over several days improve your chances of seeing a wide variety of animals while allowing you to enjoy the park at a more relaxed pace. If you’re short on time, our day tours and 2-day safari are excellent alternatives.

Q: Which safari package offers the best chance of seeing the Big Five?

Our 4, 5, 6 and 7-day Kruger safari packages offer the greatest opportunity to see the Big Five because they include more game drives and allow guides to explore different regions of the park. While sightings can never be guaranteed, spending more time in the bush significantly improves your chances.

Q: Do you offer private Kruger safari packages?

Yes. We offer both shared and private Kruger safari packages. Our standard departures are shared with a small number of guests, while private safaris can be arranged for travellers who prefer an exclusive experience at an additional cost. If no other guests are booked on your selected departure, your shared safari automatically becomes a private safari at no extra charge.
