Central Kruger Safari

The Kruger National Park covers a vast area of 19485 square kilometres (7523 sq miles) and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west. It is the tenth largest game reserve on earth, and undoubtedly one of the best.All of Africa’s famous Big Five game animals (Buffalo, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion and Leopard) are found in “Kruger”, as the park is affectionately known, along with more species of large mammals than any other African game reserve (at almost 150 species). Over 520 species of birds have also been seen in the park, along with vast numbers of reptiles, insects and other fauna and flora.

This safari will cover the vast and mostly flat central section of Kruger. This region spans nearly 30% of the reserve’s territory and supports a huge amount of game. It is made up of mostly grassy plains, filled with animals like Plains Zebra, Common Wildebeest and many species of antelope, which attract an array of predators.

The open savannah habitat also makes for great photographic opportunities, and the region is especially famous for photos of classic African sunsets.

Five seasonal rivers meander across the central region and, as wildlife is abundant, during intense dry cycles water supplies are often depleted. As a result many man-made dams and water holes were established in the central region. Many of the water holes and dams have become popular tourist attractions as they act as a gathering point for animals. The concentration of predators, especially Lions, in the Central Region ensures that it remains a popular tourist destination.

On this 6-night safari, we will spend two nights each in Satara Camp (with its famous circles of bungalows), Olifants Camp (with stunning views of the plains below) and Letaba Camp (built right on the Letaba river). Each camp has been carefully chosen to provide you with the best chance of seeing all that Kruger has to offer, both in terms of fantastic animal sightings and beautiful classic African landscapes

Northern Kruger Safari

Northern Kruger (16).jpg
The huge Kruger National Park is undoubtedly one of the best wildlife reserves in the world. The park welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors every year. All the famous Big Five game animals (Buffalo, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion and Leopard) are found in “Kruger”, as it is affectionately known, along with more species of other large mammals than any other African game reserve (almost 150 species). Over 520 species of birds have also been seen in the park, along with vast numbers of reptiles, insects and other interesting fauna and flora.Probably the best kept secret of the world famous Kruger National Park is the vast northern section, from the Letaba river towards the far north at Pafuri and the Makuleke concession.

Of all the regions of Kruger, the vegetation in the north is the least diversified and much of the region is blanketed in Mopane shrub. It is also, however, home to the strange and mythical Baobab tree. There are also several river corridors, the favourite habitat of many species of special mammals, like the exquisite Nyala. This is also the area of the park for rare antelopes, and Roan Antelope, Tsessebe and Sable Antelope are most easily spotted here. Herds of African Elephant and African Buffalo depend on the rivers for water, and predators such as Lion, Leopard and Spotted Hyaena concentrate where prey is abundant.

Further north there are some fascinating ecozones containing many very localised species of fauna and flora, and the Pafuri region is unlike any other in the park. The Pafuri area is regarded by some visitors as the most enchanting corner of the Kruger, and is undoubtedly the most important locality for birds in the park, especially for rare vagrants and birds from tropical Africa.

On this 6 night safari, we will spend two nights each in Mopani Camp (with its stunning setting on the Pioneer dam), Shingwedzi Camp ( a hotspot for rare birds) and Punda Maria Camp (with its charming old school feel). Each camp has been carefully chosen to provide you with the best chance of seeing all that Kruger has to offer, both in terms of fantastic animal sightings and beautiful classic African landscapes.

Southern Kruger Safari

Southern Kruger Trip promo (7).jpg 
Whether you look at the Kruger National Park from a wildlife, historical, ecological, birding, biodiversity or geological viewpoint, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest game parks on the planet.

It covers a huge area of 19,485 square kilometres (7,523 sq miles) and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west. It is the tenth largest game reserve on earth.

The park welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors every year yet never feels crowded. All the famous Big Five game animals (Buffalo, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion and Leopard) are found in the Kruger National Park, which has more species of large mammals than any other African game reserve (at 147 species). These special species are seen with relative ease in “Kruger”, as the park is affectionately known. Over 520 species of birds have also been seen in the park, along with vast numbers of reptiles, insects, amphibians and other fauna and flora.

Our Southern Kruger safari will cover most areas of the southern section of Kruger. It is the most visited part of the game reserve, and with good reason. Most people enter the park in this region, simply because, for many, it’s the closest part of the park from wherever they’re travelling from. It’s also the area where it is the easiest to see all of the Big Five animals, along with plenty of others when you’re in this area, such as the very rare and endangered African Wild Dog.

The southern section is bordered by the Crocodile River in the south, the Sabie River in the north, and the Lebombo mountains in the east, along the border with Mozambique.

On this 6 night safari, we will spend two nights each in Berg en Dal Camp, Skukuza Camp and Pretoriuskop Camp. Each camp has been carefully chosen to provide you with the best chance of seeing all that Kruger has to offer, both in terms of fantastic animal sightings and beautiful classic African landscapes.

Kruger Lux Safari

Our 9 day/8 night Kruger Lux Safari offers the perfect South African safari experience. We have combined the world famous Kruger National Park with the adjacent luxurious Sabi Sands Game Reserve, offering you the best of both worlds and a chance to see the Big Five and so much more.

This safari will cover the most important areas of the southern and lower central sections of the famous Kruger national park, an area rich in big mammals, fantastic birds and superb landscapes. We have chosen two great camps (Skukuza and Satara) to stay in; they offer comfortable accommodation and good dining options, but more importantly a great chance of seeing the Big Five, African Wild Dog, Cheetah and much more.

This safari then moves to the luxurious Sabi Sands Game Reserve, a 65,000-hectare wildlife haven that shares an unfenced border with Kruger. The reserve offers extraordinary close animal encounters (on open game drive vehicles with highly trained guides and trackers) and prolific wildlife sightings, particularly of the elusive Leopard. Sabi Sands offers a perfect bed to everyone on safari, and for every budget, ranging from mid-range to ultra-luxurious.

We guarantee this trip will be an unforgettable African safari experience!
