Kruger & Private Reserves
Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Klaserie and Manyeleti share unfenced boundaries with Kruger, so the wildlife moves freely while vehicle numbers stay controlled. Off-road traversing, night drives and walking safaris are permitted in most concessions — the reason serious safari travellers choose private land over the public park.
Highlights
- Low-density private concessions with off-road traversing
- Big Five game viewing year-round
- Walking safaris and night drives
- Direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town
- Lodge styles from classic to contemporary design
Questions
Kruger & Private Reserves — practical answers
Private reserves allow off-road traversing, night drives and walking, with far fewer vehicles at a sighting. The national park offers wider price range and self-drive freedom. Most of our luxury itineraries use the private concessions.
Three nights is the practical minimum for a full safari experience; four gives room for slower mornings and walking.
