The world-famous Kruger National Park in South Africa, which is steeped in myth and history, is standing by, ready for you to explore its expansive landscapes and stunning African animals on a three-day self-drive safari.

Guests are to collect their own hired car and it is recommended to leave Johannesburg as early as possible to complete the itinerary for the first day.
On the final day they should leave the park early enough to drop off the vehicle in Johannesburg as arranged.

On a genuine self-drive safari through Kruger National Park, you will have the opportunity to go on an adventure in search of the “Big Five” animals of Africa: the elephant, lion, rhinoceros, leopard, and buffalo. You will also encounter several other species of exotic wildlife.

Southern Kruger, from the Sabie River basin into the central grasslands, offers the best opportunity to spot lions, while the mixed forests and several watering holes frequently offer sightings of elephants.

The Village chalets are stylish yet budget conscious. Each room has some unique decorative flourishes, but all of them are perfectly appointed to ensure maximum comfort at a budget price. Each chalet is perfectly air conditioned (pleasant throughout the whole year – but really desirable in Southern Hemisphere summer months). They also have an en-suite shower/wet room, crisp clean linen on wonderfully comfortable beds, with a daily housekeeping and turn down service. Outside each room is a patio on which to enjoy some quiet time.

Embark on an unforgettable 4-day safari adventure at the Kruger Gate Hotel, where you’ll discover the wonders of the Kruger National Park. From the moment you step off your private transfer from Johannesburg, you’ll be immersed in the beauty and thrill of the African wilderness.

Upon arrival at the Kruger Gate Hotel, you’ll be greeted warmly and settle into your comfortable accommodation. Get ready to embark on an afternoon private safari drive, guided by an experienced safari expert. As you traverse the park, be prepared to encounter the majestic Big Five and an array of other wildlife species. Your guide will share their knowledge about the animals, plants, and ecosystems, ensuring a rich and educational safari experience.

The following 2 days brings a full day of safari exploration. After a delicious group breakfast, set off on an extended private safari drive, covering different areas of the Kruger National Park. Marvel at the vast landscapes, spot elusive creatures, and capture stunning photographs. Take a break for a picnic lunch in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

For your final day, you have the option to embark on an additional private safari drive or choose from various activities available at the hotel. Indulge in a spa treatment, take a dip in the pool, or simply relax amidst the natural beauty surrounding you. Reflect on the incredible wildlife encounters and unforgettable moments you’ve experienced throughout your safari.

As your safari draws to a close, a private transfer will take you back to Johannesburg, allowing you to reminisce about your extraordinary journey. The group meals provided at the hotel’s restaurant create an opportunity to bond with fellow travelers, sharing stories and experiences from your safari expeditions.
