Kruger National Park safari tours

Charge the camera, we're going to Kruger

The most famous game park in South Africa is truly teeming with photography opportunities. Beyond the Big Five, you'll be snapping photos of some of Africa's other iconic wildlife, like graceful giraffes, speedy cheetahs and dazzles of zebras during the day, while dramatic orange sunsets and undisturbed starry skies will fill your memory cards at night. Since there are no boundary fences in the reserve and your overland vehicles can go off the designated paths, the animals will be closer than you can imagine... no zoom lens necessary.

Highlights

Lose your lid in an open vehicle

Kruger safaris are operated in open-sided 4WD vehicles that are just that: 4x4s with no sides, tiered seating and an open roof, providing incredible wildlife viewing and photo ops. With nothing between you and the animals, the freedom of an open-sided vehicle will surely give a more immersive safari experience.

Take off-roading to a new level

In South African parks, safari vehicles and guides are permitted to go off the designated paths to get you closer to wildlife. Many guides stay in constant radio contact, so if your group gets a tip on something extra exciting (like a birth or Big Five sighting), you can expect to do some serious off-roading to get to the site.

Kruger National Park is reputed to have the continent's greatest variety of animals and its sprawling stretch of savanna offers one of the best safari experiences in Africa. The park is home to the Big Five, but also to 150 other photogenic mammals like cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and the endangered African wild dog. If you look close to the ground you might be able to spot one of 100 breeds of reptiles, while birdwatchers can delight in the 500 bird species that inhabit the park.

Sleep in style in a lodge

If a safari is on your bucket list, but you're more of a comfort glamper than a hardcore camper, a Kruger lodge experience will be just your speed. After a day of bushwalks or game drives, lay your head in a safari-tented room with a private ensuite bathroom, and yes, even a shower! The lodge also offers a comfortable lounge (perfect for chatting with the other guests over a drink or two), swimming pool, shaded deck area, dining tent and wi-fi. You can even book a massage treatment... sign us up!
