KRUGER PARK & SABI SANDS are probably the richest wildlife areas in South Africa, where you are promised a fantastic wildlife experience.  There is a big difference between going on a wildlife safari inside Kruger Park compared to staying in the private game reserves that surround the Kruger National Park.  Private Game Reserves are FAR superior and recommended.

Most of the fences between Kruger Park and the private reserves such as Sabi Sands, MalaMala, Ngala etc have been removed, and so the wildlife can roam freely amongst the different areas, according to the available water and food.  The private lodges are generally between 3 and 5 star status.  Their rates will include accommodation (most are air-conditioned), all meals, safari activities (typically 2 open vehicle game drives and an option bush walk) and the top lodges often include the drinks as well.  

We no longer book accommodation for tourists wanting to stay inside Kruger in the Restcamps.... too many complaints from past clients. Have your Kruger safari holiday in Sabi Sands, Ngala, Timbavati, Thornybush or Balule Private Game Reserves, or the Private lodges in concession areas inside Kruger Park.

The Greater Kruger Park includes all the private game reserves such as MalaMala, Djuma, Sabi Sabi, Elephant Plains, Tshukudu, Thornybush, Pafuri, Singita, Ngala and Arathusa to mention a few.  Each lodge is different, but the wildlife experience is different.  The majority of Private Lodges, allow the Ranger to take their guests closer to the wildlife.  Look through our list of recommended safari lodges, with their rates - and then contact us with your dates & 'wish list'.

Once you contact us for your safari holiday in the Greater Kruger Park at 1 or more of the private game lodges, we shall confirm the price (& any special offers) for your period, plus advise you on availability and how we get you to the lodge.  We then make a provisional booking for you (same price whether booking through us or hundreds of other agencies!) and then we require a deposit to confirm the booking.  We can also plan your holiday to include Cape Town, Vic Falls or Botswana.
