Planning a Kruger safari

Kruger safari options

The listed packages have different lengths, lodges and inclusions. Open a journey to compare the accommodation, game drives and travel arrangements.

Compare Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Thornybush, Klaserie, Manyeleti and the national park by their setting, guiding and available stays.

Use the individual journey prices as a guide. Confirm travel-health advice for your destinations and dates before making a booking.

The reserves

Compare Kruger safari areas

Compare reserve access, lodge choices and the arrangements for each stay.

Sabi Sand

Compare Sabi Sand lodges, their game-drive arrangements and dated rates. Vehicle limits and access need to be confirmed for the chosen stay.

Timbavati

Explore Timbavati lodges and compare their guiding, accommodation and rates. Sightings are not guaranteed.

Thornybush

Compare Thornybush lodges and connections from Hoedspruit. Confirm transfer times and costs for the chosen stay.

Manyeleti

Quiet, community-owned land between the Sabi Sand and the park, with very few lodges and long stretches without another vehicle.

Kruger National Park

Enormous, excellent value and genuinely wild, but on public roads with the queue that implies at a good sighting. We use it deliberately, usually as a day from a private reserve, rather than by default.

Klaserie

Explore Klaserie camps and ask which guided activities are available for your dates.

Kruger packages

Compare Kruger safari packages

Check the actual night count and inclusions on each journey. Ask about a longer stay or an extension if required.

Budget

Safari prices

Prices depend on your dates, accommodation, room arrangement and inclusions. Use the individual journey prices as a guide, then ask for a quote for your party.

Considered
from about US$450 per person per night
Smaller owner-run camps, and shoulder-season dates in excellent reserves. The compromise is the room finish and the extras, not the game viewing.
Classic
about US$700 to US$1,200 per person per night
The heart of the market: established private-reserve lodges with two guided activities a day, all meals, and house drinks at most properties.
Premium
about US$1,300 to US$2,000 per person per night
Blue-chip camps in the strongest traversing areas, frequently with a private vehicle and guide added to the rate.
Exclusive-use
quoted per villa or per camp
Compare dated rates and the full cost for your party. Seasonal differences and inclusions vary by property.

Every band excludes international flights. Internal flights, conservation levies, premium wines and private vehicles differ by property and are confirmed in writing before you commit.

Before you enquire

Questions we are asked every week.

Private reserve or Kruger National Park?

Compare the activities, driving areas, guiding arrangements and lodge options for the specific routes. We can help explain the differences before you choose.

How much does a Kruger safari package cost?

Check the guide price on the journey you are considering, then request a quote for your dates and party. Flights and airport transfers may be extra.

Is the Sabi Sand worth the extra cost?

Compare the specific lodges, guiding arrangements and quotes. Whether the difference is worthwhile depends on your priorities and budget.

How many nights do I need in the Kruger?

The listed packages show their actual night counts. We can discuss extra nights and compare the time at the lodge with the travel needed to reach it.

How do I get to the Kruger from Johannesburg?

Flights and road transfers may be options, depending on your lodge and dates. Confirm them separately: the listed packages do not all include airport transfers or flights.

Is the Kruger malaria-free?

Ask a qualified travel-health professional for current advice on Kruger and your travel dates. We can discuss other reserves if your medical advice calls for a different destination.
