Regarded as the ‘Great Unknown,’ in Kruger you’ll be sharing stomping ground with African buffalo, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and hippos – so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

According to the experts, catching wildlife in their natural habitat depends on being in the right place at the right time, so expert guides are on-hand to help you navigate just under 19,000 sq kms of bush.

Let gamers whisk you off for a few days and nights to track the big five (rhinos, elephants, buffalo, lions and leopards) along one of the nine park trails.

While you're there...

Try luxe camping
Forget about baked beans and damp sleeping bags, accommodation in Kruger ranges from the elegant to the super luxurious. On a Luxury Tented Safari, ‘camping’ includes sliver service dinners, king-size beds and fabulous en suite bathrooms.

Visit a private game reserve
Take a four-hour drive outside Kruger Park to Sabi Sand private game reserve, where the team of expert guides are in constant radio contact, so they’re quick to offer a heads-up on the hot spots. It eliminates the element of surprise, but ups the ‘wow’ factor, as you’re guaranteed a peek at the big five.

Enjoy a bush bath
After a hard day’s gaming, the staff will draw a private bush bath with candles and bath salts as you’re surrounded by the night plains. Bliss!
