Why Visit the Kruger Private Reserves?

Luxury, privacy, and unrivalled wildlife encounters.

The Kruger Private Reserves provide an intimate safari experience, with flexible activities and superior wildlife encounters that go beyond what’s possible inside the national park.

✳ Exclusive Access

Fewer vehicles and private concessions mean uninterrupted sightings.

✳ Luxury in the Wild

Stay in beautifully designed lodges offering gourmet dining, spa treatments, and personalised service.

✳ Superior Wildlife Viewing

Enjoy off-road tracking of big cats, guided bush walks, and night drives.

Best Times to Visit the Kruger Private Reserves

Exceptional safaris throughout the year.

The reserves deliver incredible game viewing year-round, though seasonal changes bring distinct advantages.

🌱 May to September (Dry Season)

Peak wildlife viewing as animals gather at waterholes; cooler temperatures make safaris comfortable.

🌱 October to April (Green Season)

Lush scenery, birding at its best, and predator action as young antelope attract big cats.

🌱 All Year

The reserves’ resident wildlife ensures rewarding safaris whenever you visit.

Exclusive Wilderness, Endless Wonder.
