A private Kruger safari gives you exclusive use of the safari vehicle and guide for just your group. Benefits include: flexible departure times, the ability to stay longer at sightings (no pressure to move on for other guests), personalised itinerary based on your wildlife interests, dedicated photography stops, family-friendly pacing with extra breaks for children, and a more intimate experience with your guide who can focus entirely on your group's questions and preferences.

Private Kruger safari vehicles start from R9,400-R9,750 per vehicle for a full day (depending on vehicle type), accommodating up to 10 guests. This can be more economical than per-person rates for larger families or groups. Half-day private vehicles start from approximately R6,500. The vehicle, guide, fuel, pickup/drop-off and bottled water are included. Park entry fees and meals are additional. Contact us for an exact quote based on your group size and dates.

Absolutely — private safaris are the ideal choice for wildlife photographers and birders. Your guide can position the vehicle for optimal light angles, stay at sightings as long as you need without group pressure, and focus on specific species you're targeting. The Kruger is home to over 500 bird species including rare raptors, hornbills, rollers and the Big Six birds. We can tailor the route for photography or birding priorities. Bring your longest lens — we will get you in position.

Yes! That's one of the biggest advantages. You can choose your departure time, which Kruger gate to enter, preferred rest camp stops, and how much time to spend in different habitats. Want to focus on predators in the central grasslands? Interested in elephants and waterbirds near dams? Keen to explore the remote northern sections? Your private guide will build the day around your wildlife wish list. Multi-day private itineraries can also be customised.
