Safari in the Greater Kruger

We organise Game Drives, Walking Safaris and Overnight Safaris in the Greater Kruger

Greater Kruger Safaris

The Greater Kruger is a premier safari destination, consisting of a collection of private game reserves that share unfenced boundaries with the iconic Kruger National Park. This allows wildlife to roam freely across the area, creating a vast, continuous ecosystem that supports a rich diversity of animals and plant life. The private reserves within the Greater Kruger offer a more exclusive safari experience, with fewer vehicles and the opportunity for off-road game viewing in some areas. Safari Reinhardt organizes tailored overnight safaris within this remarkable region, combining game drives, walking safaris, and comfortable stays to help guests experience the best of the Greater Kruger.

Combining Greater Kruger with the Kruger Park

Combining the Greater Kruger with Kruger Park itself offers a rich and varied safari experience, each area bringing its own unique appeal. The private reserves within the Greater Kruger, such as Pridelands Conservancy, provide a quieter, more personal safari environment, with exclusive game drives and walking safaris. In contrast, Kruger Park offers a vast wilderness with iconic landscapes and a rich history, making it a must-visit for any safari enthusiast. By booking an overnight safari with Safari Reinhardt, guests can enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the Greater Kruger alongside the expansive beauty and highlights of Kruger Park, creating a balanced and unforgettable adventure.

Best time for safari in The Greater Kruger

The Greater Kruger offers rewarding safari experiences throughout the year, with each season showcasing its own unique highlights. The dry or winter season, from May to September, is a popular choice for wildlife viewing, as animals are easier to spot amidst the sparse vegetation and tend to gather around water sources. The cooler temperatures also make it an excellent time for game drives and walking safaris. In contrast, the rainy or summer season, from October to April, transforms the Greater Kruger into a vibrant, green landscape. This period is ideal for bird enthusiasts and provides opportunities to see young animals during the calving season. Whether you visit during the dry or rainy season, the Greater Kruger’s diverse wildlife and natural beauty ensure a memorable safari experience.
