Kruger National Park Safaris

The ultimate guide to your next Kruger National Park Safari

They say that first impressions matter. When you begin a Kruger National Park safari, you’ll be filled with a kind of electric excitement. That’s your body telling you that you’ve entered one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations, where the Big Five reign supreme. As you embark on your upcoming game drive, the golden savannah stretches endlessly before you, bathed in the warm glow of dawn. A lion’s distant roar rumbles through the cool morning air as a herd of elephants moves silently across the landscape, dust swirling at their feet.

Some edge ever closer to the vehicle, and the tension becomes palpable. Then, as quickly as they appeared, the giants silently melt away into the bush, moving like grey ghosts. Before you’ve had the chance to process the physics of it all, your guide points out an interesting pawprint in the sand, and the search for one of Kruger’s elusive leopards gets underway.

Each turn of the road holds a new wonder: wild dog pups peering out of their den, a rhino grazing in the golden grass, and a hyena’s eerie call echoing under a blanket of stars. During a Kruger safari, you can experience the wild heart of Africa.

Speak to a Discover Africa expert to begin planning your dream Kruger safari. We create Kruger National Park safaris that combine luxury and adventure, curated to your specific needs and wants.
