Situated in the far northeast of South Africa, the world-famous Kruger National Park extends over two million hectares. A 5–6-hour journey from Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport, it is home to five safari private concessions. There is an abundance of private exclusive safari lodging in this greater Kruger area, which is perfect for those who enjoy nature and wildlife combined with luxury. Staying at Kruger National Park may be on your South African safari vacation wish list.
Several travel companies provide safaris to the Kruger National Park. Travellers can take advantage of all-inclusive exclusive safari packages offered by these tour operators, which include stays at 4- to 5-star lodges with special, individualised service. These Kruger National Park Safaris include round-trip transportation from Johannesburg, all meals, and game drives in open vehicles.
The exclusive safari lodges are generally on riverbanks facing a huge waterhole or on an escarpment overlooking the broad savannah plains for great ‘sofa game viewing. They often have award-winning chefs who prepare unique South African cuisine, making the food and drink as memorable as the animal encounters. Most Kruger luxury lodges offer spas, and some have fully equipped gyms. In between regular game drives, experienced therapists and masseuses can pamper you.
These private reserves and concessions employ top southern African game rangers and trackers whose bushveld knowledge, client care and safety are unmatched. Private reserve guests enjoy daily guided game drives in open safari vehicles with these rangers and trackers on private territory. Animal sightings, such as the Big 5 are almost guaranteed since rangers and trackers communicate via radio to find the best animal sightings. Your ranger will have more time with you in camp and on guided walks around the veld because safari lodges only accommodate a few guests.
Luxury lodge pricing is ‘all-inclusive,’ including three meals each day, high tea pastries, and unique South African snacks and drinks for sundowners.
Most Kruger Park lodging consists of self-catering units operated by SANParks, with low costs to attract more people. The government also leases private concessions to independent operators for Kruger National Park luxury safari lodges. These private concessions bring the park much-needed money.
There are 5 private concessions in Kruger Park to choose from. Where you stay depends on what interests you from a wildlife and nature point of view. However, each luxury safari lodge promises you an exclusive Kruger National Park safari holiday of your dreams.
