Kruger National Park, the Greater Kruger Area & Karongwe Safaris

Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger Area holidays offer access to one of South Africa’s most iconic and wildlife-rich safari destinations. Fondly known as ‘big cat country’, Kruger is renowned for its exceptional game viewing, expert guiding and luxurious safari lodges set within breathtaking wilderness landscapes.

Lions, rhinos and buffalo roam across vast open plains, while leopards lounge in acacia trees and herds of elephants scour the bush – this is true Big 5 country! Whether you choose a rustic safari lodge or an ultra-luxurious tented camp, unforgettable wildlife encounters await in South Africa’s celebrated northern reserves.

Nearby Karongwe Private Reserve lies beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Drakensberg mountains. Home to four tranquil rivers that wind through its landscapes, Karongwe offers a peaceful safari atmosphere alongside rich wildlife diversity and superb Big 5 sightings.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Kruger National Park, the Greater Kruger area and Karongwe holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore South Africa on a fly drive holiday, aboard the iconic luxury Blue Train or Rovos Rail, a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine South Africa with a beach destination – they are the perfect people to ask.
