Your journey into the wild starts here!
The origins of the Kruger National Park date way back to the late 19th century.
In 1898, concerned about the rampant hunting and diminishing wildlife populations, President Paul Kruger established the Sabie Game Reserve, laying the foundation for what would become the Kruger National Park.
The reserve aimed to protect the region’s unique biodiversity, to ensure the survival of its wildlife for future generations to inherit and enjoy.
The early 20th century saw the first safari enthusiasts venturing into the park.
Unlike today’s comfortable and guided tours, these pioneers faced rugged terrains with minimal infrastructure. Their journeys were marked by basic camping setups, and sightings of majestic creatures like lions and elephants were rare treasures.
These early experiences paved the way for the well-organised and accessible Kruger Park safaris that we offer today.
With over two decades of experience guiding guests through the magnificent Kruger National Park, Kurt Safari stands out as South Africa’s premier Kruger National Park safaris tour operator. Our range of Kruger National Park safari travel packages caters to clients seeking an authentic African safari experience, where rustic adventure meets modern comfort. Every aspect of our Kruger Park safaris and tours is meticulously tailored to accommodate various budgets, preferences, and tastes.
Our Kruger Park safaris offer options for both budget-conscious travelers and those looking for a touch of luxury. Guests not only have the opportunity to explore the best of Kruger National Park along its most wildlife-rich routes but also to discover some of the region’s most fascinating and beautiful attractions.
Guided by trained and passionate guides, guests can enjoy up to 9 hours of safari time in the Kruger National Park on our Full Day Safaris, a longer duration compared to most other companies. We use comfortable open-air safari vehicles, providing guests with a remarkable bird’s-eye view of the wildlife encounters.
The majority of our private Kruger Park safaris and tours take place in the wildlife-rich Southern Kruger region, home to the renowned Big 5 – Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, and Rhino, as well as herds of zebra, wildebeest, and a plethora of bird species, with over 148 mammal species residing in the Kruger National Park.
The magnificent Kruger National Park stands as one of South Africa’s most beloved and iconic landmarks. Every year, this conservation reserve warmly welcomes numerous visitors from around the globe. Many of these guests embark on various Kruger Park trips or opt for a self-driven adventure through the park, all seeking the serene solitude that can only be found in the wild. However, it’s not just the tranquility that draws visitors to the park; it’s the captivating wildlife.
Credit goes to Paul Kruger, the former president of the now-defunct Transvaal Republic, who dedicated himself to setting aside a portion of Transvaal for the preservation of animals. Without his tireless efforts, the park’s inhabitants would have long vanished from the landscape. In 1898, when the park was initially established, hunting was rampant, and trophies of big game like lions and elephants were highly coveted by foreign visitors. To safeguard the local wildlife from complete extinction, the park was designated as a no-hunting zone, and it remains one of the world’s oldest and largest conserved areas to this day.
Today, we enjoy the fruits of the wisdom and foresight of those who came before us. A Kruger Park safari is an unforgettable experience, and it’s more affordable than you might imagine. Initially, tourists didn’t enter the park; however, around 1927, the first paying visitors were permitted to explore it. In those early days, there were no accommodations inside the park, so visitors had to exit before sunset.
As time passed and transportation methods evolved, more tourists began arriving, and accommodations were developed to allow them to stay overnight. Entry fees were never excessively high, earning the park a reputation as the “People’s Park,” a place where anyone could experience the wonders of conservation. Today, even a 7-day safari is quite budget-friendly, and there’s always the option of a self-driven adventure through the park.
Booking a Kruger Park safari or a Kruger Day Tour has never been easier. A quick online search will yield a plethora of options, many of which are offered by reputable safari companies like ours. Why choose to book a safari instead of going for a self-drive? Well, in reality, it requires less planning and can save you a few bucks (pun intended).
Although the Kruger National Park was officially declared in 1898, it wasn’t until 1927 that it was officially named the Kruger National Park and opened its gates to tourists. Those early years were quite intriguing, as tourists would traverse the park on a train, providing limited visibility of the wildlife. The route was fixed and unchangeable, but it was considered the safest way for early visitors to experience the park. These were the days before the advent of the automobile, so it’s easy to imagine how the park’s accessibility changed after cars became commonplace.
By 1928, a board of directors was overseeing the Kruger Park, and it was determined that in order to make the park more accessible to visitors, overnight accommodations were needed. The park’s first rondavels, round-hut-style accommodations that have since become synonymous with the park, were constructed at Skukuza, Pretoriuskop, and Satara. As more and more guests flocked to the park, additional accommodations were added for their convenience, while the former ranger lodgings were also converted into unique guest accommodations.
For those who have researched South Africa and the Kruger Park in particular, it’s well-known that the summers in the region can be exceptionally hot and humid. One can sympathize with the park’s earliest overnight guests who grappled with the challenge of staying cool. In fact, staying overnight in one of the rondavels was not a popular choice in those days. While it was a novelty, the heat was often unbearable, and mosquitoes were a constant nuisance that couldn’t be kept out. These days, rondavels are equipped with fans, and some even have air conditioning. Additionally, in those early days, the accommodations did not provide complete isolation from the wilderness. As the park expanded and construction progressed, guests gained more protection from the wildlife and access to ablution blocks where they could bathe or shower.
The Kruger National Park is synonymous with the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo).
These iconic animals move freely across the park and booking a Kruger Park safari is hands down the best way to see these stunning creatures.
Lions are often spotted lounging under the shade or strategising their next hunt, these social cats are a highlight for many visitors. While elusive and solitary leopards are masters of camouflage and can be found resting in trees during the day.
As the largest land mammals, elephants are led by wise matriarchs, and are among the easier animals to see. Elephants are a common sighting all throughout the park.
Rhinos are one of the most endangered animals in the Kruger so spotting one is quite a treat. Both black and white rhinos call the Kruger home.
The last of the Big 5 is the Cape buffalo. These formidable creatures move in large herds, their sheer numbers and strength deterring potential predators.
Aside from the Big Five, the park teems with a variety of plains game, such as zebras, with their distinctive black and white stripes, giraffes which can be spotted gracefully nibbling on the leaves of tall acacia trees, impala which are abundant and often seen in large herds, and wildebeest, which are known for their annual migrations.
The park’s vegetation is as diverse as its wildlife, with several notable species, such as:
The Kruger National Park is also home to countless Impala and Kudu Lilies, which can be seen in abundance in Skukuza. These lilies bloom in the winter, right in the middle of safari season.
From its inception, the Kruger National Park has been at the forefront of conservation efforts in Africa. Right from the very start, park officials faced incredible challenges such as rampant hunting and habitat destruction.
Visionaries like James Stevenson-Hamilton, the park’s first warden, played a pivotal role in establishing anti-poaching units and promoting wildlife preservation.
In contemporary times, the park faces more sophisticated threats, particularly rhino poaching driven by illegal wildlife trade. To combat this, the Kruger has implemented advanced measures, including:
Despite these efforts, rhino poaching continues to be an issue and in recent years the park has had to greatly ramp up its approach to conservation.
Kruger National Park is renowned for being home to the Big 5, which includes lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos. While these iconic animals are a major draw for Kruger visitors, the park also houses a broader array of species than any other park on the African continent, totaling 147 species of animals. In addition to numerous predators and large animals like elephants, the park is home to a variety of antelope species such as kudu, impala, nyala, and eland. Furthermore, the park serves as a sanctuary for endangered and rare species, such as the wild dog, underscoring its importance in wildlife conservation.
Due to the presence of numerous endangered species within the park, extensive efforts have been in place for many years to combat poaching. Anti-poaching units are equipped with cutting-edge prevention tools, including night vision technology and advanced telescopes. Game rangers, law enforcement officers, and military personnel have all actively participated in the campaign to curtail poaching activities. While there has been a reduction in poaching incidents, animals, particularly rhinos, remain under constant threat.
While elephants are sporadically targeted by poachers, it is the rhinoceros that often makes headlines. Poachers enter the Kruger National Park during full moon nights, targeting both black and white rhinos for their valuable horns. These horns can fetch approximately $66,000 per kilogram on the black market. Despite bans on horn trade in most countries, these restrictions have had limited impact on deterring illegal activities.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors and to protect the park’s delicate ecosystem, adherence to the following rules is essential:
None of the park rules are over complicated or difficult to follow. Aside from obeying the rules, it is also important that you listen to what your safari guide has to say, especially if you end up in a situation that could be a little bit unnerving (like coming across an agitated elephant).
The Kruger National Park is home to a variety of rest camps. Although most Kruger Park safaris include accommodation outside of the park, in or close to the village of Hazyview, your tour will often stop at Skukuza or some other camp, to stretch your legs and grab something to eat.
Whether you’re looking for a lively camp with modern amenities or a quiet, remote retreat surrounded by nature, the Kruger has something for every traveller.
Here’s an in-depth look at the 12 main camps in the Kruger National Park.
Skukuza Rest Camp is the largest and busiest camp in the Kruger National Park, serving as the park’s administrative headquarters. It is an excellent choice for first-time visitors, families, and those who want easy access to the Kruger’s best wildlife viewing areas.
Located on the banks of the Sabie River, the camp has some of the most stunning views and guests frequently see elephants, hippos, and even the elusive leopard, from the camp’s lookout area.
Skukuza has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century when it was established as a base for park rangers.
Over the years, it has grown into the central hub of the Kruger and is known for its well-developed infrastructure.
The camp is named after James Stevenson-Hamilton, the first warden of the Kruger whose nickname was Skukuza, who played a significant role in the park’s conservation efforts.
As the biggest camp, Skukuza offers visitors an impressive range of amenities, including a restaurant, a well-stocked shop, a fuel station, an ATM, medical facilities, and even a conference centre. For those looking for a more luxurious stay, the Skukuza Safari Lodge provides high-end accommodations within the camp.
One of the biggest highlights of Skukuza is its location.
The surrounding area is known for excellent Big Five sightings, and with many well-maintained roads leading out of the camp, it serves as the perfect base for exploring the park. The Sabie River gives travellers stunning photographic opportunities, while the Skukuza Golf Course is the only one of its kind in the world.
Lower Sabie Rest Camp is one of the most picturesque camps in the Kruger National Park.
Situated along the quiet banks of the Sabie River, this camp is a magnet for wildlife, which can be viewed right from the comfort of the camp’s lookout points and from the accommodation itself.
The river famously attracts large herds of elephants, buffalos, and hippos, making it one of the best camps for game viewing without even leaving your hut.
Historically, Lower Sabie was one of the first camps developed in the park due to its strategic location near water. It has always been a prime spot for wildlife enthusiasts, and over the years, it has grown in popularity due to its scenic setting and excellent predator sightings
Lower Sabie has a variety of accommodation, which includes all the favourites such as bungalows, safari tents, and guest cottages. The camp also has a Mugg & Bean restaurant, something that is a more recent addition, with an open deck that overlooks the river, a fuel station, a swimming pool, and a well-stocked shop.
The main attraction to Lower Sabie is its incredible location. Early morning and sunset game drives from this camp often result in sightings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
Satara Rest Camp is known as “Lion Central” due to its high density of predator activity.
If you’re looking for the best place in the Kruger to see lions, cheetahs, and leopards, Satara should be right at the top of your list. Surrounded by open grasslands, it is prime hunting territory for the Kruger’s big cats.
The camp itself has been around for decades, serving as a base for researchers and safari-goers alike.
Its name is believed to have originated from an old farm or trading post in the area, and over the years, it has retained its reputation as the best place to see lion pride dynamics in action.
Satara has a good selection of amenities, including a restaurant, a well-stocked shop, a swimming pool, and a fuel station. The camp also has a variety of accommodation options, including basic huts and more comfortable guest cottages.
Olifants Rest Camp is one of the Kruger’s most scenic camps, perched high on a hill with spectacular views of the Olifants River. The camp gives guests a unique perspective of the park, with guests often spotting elephants, crocodiles, and hippos right from their chalets.
Established as part of the Kruger’s expansion into the central regions, Olifants was chosen for its high-up position, which has resulted in some of the most gorgeous views in the park. The name “Olifants” is derived from the Afrikaans word for elephants, which are commonly seen along the riverbanks.
The camp has several comfortable accommodation options, a restaurant, a well-stocked shop, and a fuel station. It is also known for its guided eco-trails, allowing visitors to explore the area on foot with experienced rangers.
The highlight of Olifants is undoubtedly its panoramic views. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the river or spotting raptors soaring above the cliffs, this camp is a visual experience.
Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp is located in a mountainous region of the Kruger, and as such has stunning landscapes and a high chance of spotting rhinos. Unlike the open savannahs of Satara or Lower Sabie, Berg-en-Dal is surrounded by thick bushes and, along with the rolling hills, creates a completely different safari experience.
This camp was developed much later than many others in the Kruger, designed to provide visitors with a modern, well-equipped base while maintaining a strong focus on conservation. It is known for being one of the best places in the Kruger to see both black and white rhinos, making it a favourite among wildlife enthusiasts but not often visited during a Kruger Park safari.
Berg-en-Dal has modern accommodation, including bungalows, safari tents, and camping facilities. The camp features a restaurant, a shop, a swimming pool, and a fuel station. It also has a unique walking trail within the camp, which allows guests to take a safe, self-guided bush walk.
The highlight of Berg-en-Dal is its rhino population.
The surrounding area has some of the best rhino sightings in the park, making it an essential stop for those passionate about spotting these endangered animals. The camp’s scenic location, with its mountainous backdrop, is a different kind of beauty compared to the other camps in the Kruger.
Letaba Rest Camp is greatly considered one of the Kruger’s most beautiful and tranquil camps, nestled along the banks of the Letaba River.
The camp is famous for its large elephant herds, often seen near the river, making it a prime location for elephant lovers. The name “Letaba” means “river of sand” in the local Tsonga language, a fitting description of the riverbed that attracts an array of wildlife.
Historically, Letaba was chosen as a rest camp due to its strategic location in the park’s central region. It has long been a favourite among visitors looking for a relaxed atmosphere and great game viewing.
The camp also houses the Elephant Hall Museum, which is dedicated to the legendary tuskers of the Kruger and displays the skulls and tusks of some of the largest elephants ever recorded in the park.
Letaba, much like the other camps, has a range of accommodations, from camping sites and safari tents to well-equipped bungalows and family guesthouses. The camp has a restaurant with a scenic deck overlooking the river, a swimming pool, a shop, and a fuel station. The lush gardens inside the camp also attract abundant birdlife, making it a great spot for birdwatchers.
Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp is located near the Crocodile Bridge Gate, making it one of the easiest camps to access for visitors entering from the southern side of the Kruger.
The camp’s close proximity to the Crocodile River means that wildlife sightings begin the moment you arrive, with hippos, elephants, and crocodiles frequently seen in the water.
This small and intimate camp was originally established as an outpost for early rangers and was later developed into a rest camp due to its prime location. It is known for being situated in an area with one of the highest densities of lions in the Kruger, making it a favourite for visitors hoping to see these majestic predators.
Crocodile Bridge has simple but comfortable accommodation, including safari tents, camping sites, and a few bungalows. While it doesn’t have a full restaurant, there is a well-stocked shop where guests can stock up on food, as well as a fuel station.
Lions, cheetahs, and leopards are frequently seen on game drives, and the nearby Gomondwane area is one of the best spots to watch lion prides in action. For self-drive Kruger Park safari enthusiasts, Crocodile Bridge is an ideal base, as it gives quick access to some of the Kruger’s best wildlife hotspots.
Punda Maria Rest Camp is located in the far northern region of the Kruger, and gives guests a unique safari experience that is the polar opposite of the more visited southern and central parts of the park.
This camp is known for its lush forests, rare wildlife, and outstanding birdwatching opportunities.
Punda Maria has a deep historical significance, originally established as a ranger station in the 1910s. The area was once a hunting ground before being fully incorporated into the national park, and today it remains one of the least crowded regions, making it perfect for those who would like to have a remote and peaceful Kruger Park safari experience.
The camp provides guests with a selection of accommodation, including bungalows, safari tents, and a camping area. There is also a small restaurant, a shop, and a swimming pool. One of the unique features of Punda Maria is its walking trail inside the camp, where guests can explore the surrounding vegetation and spot smaller wildlife.
The main highlight of Punda Maria is its birdlife. The camp and its surroundings are home to rare species such as the Crested Guineafowl, Narina Trogon, and Pennant-winged Nightjar. In addition, the area’s thick forests attract unique mammals like the nyala antelope and the rarely-seen leopard.
If you’re looking for a Kruger Park safari that is something different from the Kruger’s typical savannah experience, Punda Maria is the place to be.
Shingwedzi Rest Camp is one of the Kruger’s most remote and peaceful camps, located in the northern part of the park along the Shingwedzi River. It is a fantastic choice for visitors looking to escape the crowds and experience a more authentic, off-the-beaten-track Kruger Park safari.
The camp was originally a simple ranger station before being expanded into a full rest camp in the mid-20th century. Despite its remote location, Shingwedzi has become a popular stop for travellers who appreciate the wild beauty of northern Kruger.
Shingwedzi has a wide variety of accommodation options, including bungalows, huts, and camping facilities. There is a restaurant, a shop, and a swimming pool, everything needed for a comfortable stay. The camp’s quiet setting makes it a great place to unwind and just enjoy the sounds of nature.
The biggest highlight of Shingwedzi is its elephant population. The river attracts some of the largest elephant herds in the Kruger, and sightings of buffalo, hippos, and even lions are common. The area is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with African Fish Eagles and various stork species frequently seen along the riverbanks.
Mopani Rest Camp is a beautifully secluded camp located near Pioneer Dam, that gives guests a more private and peaceful safari experience. The camp is named after the Mopani tree, which dominates the surrounding landscape and creates a distinctive environment compared to the grassy plains of central and southern Kruger.
Built in the 1980s, Mopani is one of the newer camps in the park and was designed with minimal environmental impact in mind. Many of the buildings are constructed using natural stone and wood, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the surrounding wilderness.
Mopani has a range of accommodation, which includes basic huts and comfortable family cottages. The camp has a restaurant with stunning views of Pioneer Dam, a well-stocked shop, and a swimming pool. The dam is a major attraction, which often draws elephants, crocodiles, and waterbirds right to the camp’s doorstep.
The main highlight of Mopani is its sense of exclusivity and its quiet atmosphere. The surrounding area is home to rare antelope species like the tsessebe and sable, which are difficult to find elsewhere in the Kruger. The dam also attracts large flocks of waterbirds, making it an excellent spot to do a bit of birdwatching.
Pretoriuskop Rest Camp is the oldest rest camp in the Kruger National Park, which has a lot of history, scenic beauty, and easy access for visitors entering from the Numbi Gate. Surrounded by rolling granite hills and dense woodlands, Pretoriuskop provides a different Kruger Park safari experience compared to the open savannah landscapes found in other parts of the park.
The camp’s history dates back to 1898, when the area was first designated as part of the Sabie Game Reserve, the precursor to the Kruger National Park. It was named after Willem Pretorius, a Voortrekker who was buried in the area.
Pretoriuskop became a key location for early conservation efforts, and today it retains much of its historical intrigue. The camp even has some of the oldest thatched bungalows in the park, adding to its nostalgic appeal.
Much like the other camps, Pretoriuskop has all sorts of accommodation including rondavels (traditional round huts), bungalows, family cottages, and camping sites. The camp also has a restaurant, swimming pool, shop, and fuel station, giving guests all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. A unique feature of Pretoriuskop is its swimming pool built into natural rock formations, which is a welcome sight after a hot game drive.
Orpen Rest Camp is one of the Kruger’s smaller and quieter camps, and it gives guests a more intimate and secluded Kruger Park safari experience. Located near the Orpen Gate, the surrounding area is home to some of the best wildlife viewing areas in the Kruger, making it an excellent choice for first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers alike.
The camp was named after Eileen Orpen, a conservationist and philanthropist who played a key role in expanding the Kruger National Park. She donated big areas of land to the park, helping to establish the western boundary. Today, Orpen Rest Camp stands as a tribute to her efforts.
Orpen is a small but well-equipped camp, and it has comfortable bungalows, a swimming pool, a shop, and a fuel station. Unlike larger camps, Orpen does not have a restaurant, but each bungalow comes with a private braai area, making it an ideal place for self-catering travellers.
The major highlight of Orpen is its unmatched access to wildlife. The camp itself overlooks a waterhole, which attracts elephants, buffalos, and antelope throughout the day and the surrounding grasslands and open plains make it one of the best areas in the Kruger for spotting lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
The high density of prey animals, including zebras and wildebeests, further ensures that predators are never far away. If you’re looking for a small, peaceful camp with incredible game viewing, Orpen is the perfect choice.
Each of these main camps provides a unique experience and a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Kruger National Park.
