About this place

Kruger covers nearly 20,000 km² along South Africa's eastern border and offers both budget self-drive options (rest camps, your own car, your own pace) and ultra-premium private concessions on its western edge (Sabi Sand, Timbavati). It is the easiest first big-five safari in Africa for travellers who want control and value, and the easiest premium safari for travellers who want top-tier guiding without flying small planes.

What to do

Self-drive game viewing (camp at Skukuza, Olifants, Lower Sabie)

Guided morning and night drives from rest camps

Private concession game drives (off-road, no other vehicles)

Walking safaris from rest camps and trails

Bush braais (open-fire dinners)

Practical information

Self-drive: enter via one of nine gates, book accommodation through SANParks. Private concessions: book a lodge package and they handle access. Closest international airport is Hoedspruit (HDS) or Kruger Mpumalanga (MQP); also drivable from Johannesburg (~5 hours).
