Kruger National Park holiday packages

If spotting the Big Five, waking up to the sounds of the wild, and exploring endless landscapes sounds like your kind of getaway, then Kruger National Park is the place to be. 🦁 Whether you're after a luxury stay at a Kruger game lodge, a classic Kruger self-catering experience, or a self-drive safari, this is where adventure meets nature.

The best time to visit? The dry winter months (May to September) offer the best wildlife sightings as animals gather at waterholes. Prefer lush greenery and baby animals? The summer months (November to April) bring a different kind of magic.
