Seven Day All-Inclusive Private Kruger National Park Safari

Experience the legendary wildlife of Kruger National Park on our immersive 7-day Kruger National Park All Inclusive Safari. Your journey begins at Eastgate (Hoedspruit) Airport, from where you'll enter Kruger Park through Orpen Gate and head into the bush in a safari vehicle. Over the next six nights you'll stay at three iconic rest camps - Satara (2 nights), Skukuza (2 nights), and Berg-en-Dal (2 nights) - experiencing diverse landscapes and wildlife at every turn. Each day offers flexible private game drives (morning or full-day) led by an expert guide; with a private safari you set the pace, choosing how long to observe lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and other Big Five game. Enjoy authentic South African hospitality at camp each evening and delightful meals under the African sky.

Day 1: Arrival at Eastgate Airport

Arrive at Eastgate (Hoedspruit) Airport, meet your guide and transfer into Kruger Park via Orpen Gate. Enter the park in time for an afternoon game drive to Satara Rest Camp. Settle into your chalet and enjoy dinner at camp. (Dinner included; light breakfast available only on travel days.)

Accommodation: Comfortable Bungalow in Satara Rest Camp

Day 2: Explore the area around Satara

Full day exploring Satara's open savannah, famous for its big cats. Begin with an early morning game drive (when predators are most active) through grasslands often called “Lion Central”. Return mid-day for brunch at camp, then head out again in the afternoon. Evening at leisure in Satara. (All meals included - light breakfast, brunch, dinner.)

Accommodation: Same as Day 1.

Day 3: Game Drive down to Southern Kruger

After a sunrise drive and light breakfast, depart Satara and head south toward Skukuza Rest Camp. Lunch will be en route or upon arrival at Skukuza. This camp, the park's largest, sits in the heart of Big Five country along the Sabie River. Enjoy an afternoon drive in this area or relax at camp's pool or viewing decks before dinner.

Accommodation: Bungalow in either Lower Sabie or Skukuza Rest Camp

Day 4: Explore Southern Kruger

A full day based at Skukuza to spot wildlife along the shady riverine areas and open plains. Your guide will tailor the day to your interests - whether tracking elephants by the river or searching for leopards in the forest. Brunch is served back at camp mid-day. In the evening you might join an optional nocturnal game drive or simply stargaze around a campfire.

Accommodation: Same as Day 3

Day 5: More Exploration and drive to Berg-en-Dal

Early morning game drive around Skukuza, then depart southward to Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp. Lunch on the way or upon arrival. Berg-en-Dal is nestled in hilly terrain by the Matjulu Spruit (a stream). After checking in, take an afternoon drive or short guided walk in the surrounding bush. This area has excellent rhino viewing and occasional wild dog and leopard sightings.

Accommodation: Chalets at Berg and Dal Rest Camp

Day 6: Last Day Safari in Southern Kruger

Spend the day on foot or by vehicle around Berg-en-Dal's rocky bushveld. Morning and afternoon drives target rhinos (Berg-en-Dal is famed for both black and white rhinos) as well as the usual plains game. Enjoy brunch and dinner at camp's restaurant or a traditional braai (barbecue) under the stars.

Accommodation: Same as day 5.

Day 7: Departure to KMIA

Optionally rise for one last early game drive at dawn. After a light breakfast (depending on your flight schedule), say farewell to Kruger as you drive to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport for your departing flight. (Breakfast included if time allows; brunch and dinner not included.)

Seven Day Safari Highlights

Enjoy an exclusive wildlife adventure: your private 4x4 and guide mean uninterrupted safari viewing, from watching lions lounging in the golden grass to elephants bathing at sunset. With no vehicles shared with strangers, you decide whether to linger at a giant herd of buffalo or return early for lunch in camp. Each day is your own - dawn drives or late starts, and the freedom to stay at any sighting as long as you like.

Big 5 Country

This itinerary covers prime Big Five regions - the wide-open savannahs around Satara (a famous lion and predator hub), the lush riverine forests near Skukuza, and the rocky, mountainous bushveld of Berg-en-Dal (renowned for its high rhino population). Beyond the Big Five, expect large herds of elephant, buffalo and zebra, graceful giraffe and plentiful antelope.

Flexible, Personalized Drives

Wake up when you like - grab a quick coffee by sunrise or enjoy a slow morning. Choose full-day safaris or split the day (breakfast & brunch at camp with a siesta, then afternoon drive). Your guide adapts the schedule to your interests, whether you're bent on bird watching, photography, or simply soaking up the silence of the bush.

Authentic Bush Lodging

Stay inside Kruger Park in well-equipped rest camp chalets. Each camp offers modern comforts (hot showers, electricity, dining facilities) amid untamed scenery. From the Sabie River views at Skukuza to the rocky Malelane mountains around Berg-en-Dal, you'll enjoy genuine bushveld ambience without forgoing amenities.

All-Inclusive Peace of Mind

At $420 per person per day, almost everything is covered. Your rate includes lodging, most meals, daily private game drives, park fees and all transfers. Just pack your bags and arrange your flights - we take care of the rest, so you can relax and focus on the wildlife.
