Great for: Safari, wildlife, walking safaris, luxury & romantic holidays
Set on nearly 2 million hectares (4.8 million acres) of land in South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, the Greater Kruger offers the best game viewing in the world. Here, the Big 5 and other iconic safari species freely roam the open savannahs, tropical forests and granite kopjes (hills) just as they did long before humans set foot on this land.
Spectacular sightings and breathtaking landscapes are only the beginning for visitors embarking on a Kruger safari. The national park and its neighbouring private reserves boast luxurious lodges whose service and amenities will bring you in tune with the pace of the African bush.

Southern Africa in general is a low risk Malaria area. Malaria is still present and risk is dependent on the specific area you are visiting. We advise getting in touch with our team if you have any questions regarding the malaria risk in the area you will be visiting. South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia are low risk areas and most of our clients choose to not take malaria prophylactics when visiting these destinations. Preventative methods including long sleeve shirts, long trousers and mosquito spray are advised, especially after sunset and in the rainy months. If you are traveling to Southern Africa while pregnant, we advise you to consult with a doctor. The responsible decision is to take malaria prophylactics when visiting Malaria areas. If visiting Mozambique, we insist clients to take malaria prophylactics.
We always advise our clients to fly through Cape Town. Voted the best city in the world, why not add in a stop.
