Kruger National Park Safari

As one of Africa's top three safari destinations, the Kruger National Park offers visitors the iconic African safari - a dramatic production rich in lion prides, elephant herds and thousands of other animals, played out against shifting backdrops of savannah, forest, river and mountain.

Travellers arrive from all over the world for a taste of the Kruger National Park safari experience - a safari holiday characterised by unspoilt wilderness, a huge density and diversity of animals, and private luxury Kruger Park accommodation that rivals (and often surpasses) the world's best hotels.

Make sure to read up on when to go before booking your Kruger safari holiday.

Where To Stay

Our Kruger National Park accommodation and safari guide offers a wide range of Kruger accommodation for you to choose from in and around the Kruger Park, including luxury private game lodges and self-catering accommodation. Our Kruger accommodation page also lists various accommodations outside the Kruger Park, such as in Hazyview and Phalaborwa.

If you can afford to, what you really want to do when coming to the Kruger Park is to stay in one of the private Kruger reserves that shares unfenced borders with the park, or in one of the private concessions within the Kruger Park. For a truly decadent experience visit the Sabi Sands.

In these exclusive areas, private lodges offer luxury accommodation in unique wilderness settings, private game drives that get you as close as possible to wild animals, and a variety of additional activities ranging from safari bush walks to spa treatments - check out our best Kruger luxury lodges for the cream of the crop.

Bubble Baths & Bush Dinners

Have a bubble bath in your luxury suite perched on a cliff-face and overlooking a forested valley; go out on an off-road safari game drive and park in the middle of a pride of lions as they feast on a fresh kill; enjoy dinner under the stars, as the wine flows and the fire blazes, then retire to the comfort of your king-sized bed's cool, crisp linen.

If you prefer doing things on your own steam, you can plan your own Kruger Park safari holiday. There is a wide variety of self-catering accommodation available within the park although the emphasis here is on clean, comfortable facilities rather than luxury.

Kruger Tours & Safaris

The Kruger National Park was originally designed for self-catering and self-drive holidays, and there is still an excellent network of dirt and tar roads that allows visitors to explore the massive park and its surrounding areas for days on end.

However, there are a number of Kruger Park tours and safaris - either as a focused Kruger safari, such as our 4-Day Fly In Safari, or as part of the popular overland tour scene. The Best of South Africa - Rainbow Nation overland tour focuses on South Africa's highlights, or there's the Northern Safari that covers more of Southern Africa.

Finally, the Kruger is a fantastic adventure for the whole family - our Kruger Park family holidays will thrill and wow all generations of nature lovers.

Whichever way you chose to experience the Kruger Park, you will leave completely refreshed, having enjoyed a Kruger National Park safari experience full of wildlife sightings in a wilderness that's almost certain to tempt you into quitting your office job and moving to the bush.
