Please Note

The Kruger Safari Co. offers authentic safaris to lodges in the Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger area, with options to suit all budgets — from affordable to luxury+. Animals roam freely across over 20,000 km² of wilderness, so sightings can’t be guaranteed, but our experienced guides do their utmost to track down as much wildlife as possible.

To better understand the difference between Kruger Park and the Greater Kruger private reserves, we recommend reading this helpful guide: Kruger vs Greater Kruger. We focus on lodge-based safaris — either in or near the national park or in private reserves — and don’t offer hotel-style safari packages unless requested.

Please take time to explore our detailed itineraries, photos, and videos, and feel free to email us or book a video call with one of our consultants for any questions.
