Kruger National Park & Greater Kruger
Luxury safari lodges and close encounters with Africa's Big Five.
- Big 5 Safaris
- Photographic Safaris
- Adventure
One of Africa's largest and most accessible game reserves, bordered by private reserves like Sabi Sands and Timbavati where open-vehicle game drives bring guests close to lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino.
Kruger and its bordering private reserves are where most first-time safari travelers fall in love with Africa. State-run Kruger offers self-drive flexibility and excellent value; the private reserves along its unfenced western boundary (Sabi Sands, Timbavati, Manyeleti) add off-road tracking, night drives, and walking safaris led by professional guides, paired with lodges ranging from comfortable tented camps to five-star suites. We match the reserve and lodge tier to the traveler: a fast-paced two-night stop on a wider itinerary, or the anchor of an entire luxury safari.
