1-Day Private Kruger National Park Safari

A private safari typically includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional guide, a full-day game drive in an open safari vehicle, bottled water, and park entry fees. Some packages may also include meals depending on the provider.

A full-day private safari usually lasts between 9 to 11 hours. Most tours depart early in the morning to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities when animals are most active.

Kruger National Park is home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—along with giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, wild dogs, and hundreds of bird species. While sightings can’t be guaranteed, a private guide increases your chances.

Guests should bring comfortable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera, binoculars, and a light jacket for early morning or late afternoon. Snacks and cash for rest camps may also be helpful.

Yes, private safaris are ideal for families because the experience can be customized. However, young children must remain seated during sightings for safety. Elderly guests are also accommodated comfortably.

Absolutely. A private safari allows you to tailor the route, pace, rest stops, and focus—whether you want photography, Big Five tracking, birdwatching, or a relaxed scenic experience.
