Looking for an affordable, world class Safari destination ?
There is a very good reason why the Kruger National Park is one of the most sought after African wildlife experiences on the continent. Spread over 20,000 square kilometers with bio-diversity that no private reserve can match and of course being the most affordable privately guided big 5 Safari on offer, its a world class must see destination.
If you are looking for a Safari experience that will tick every expectation at an affordable price then look no further. With you own Private Safari Guide and Open Safari vehicle we will take you on the Safari adventure of a lifetime through the Kruger National Park. If you have dreamed of Africa and wanted to listen to the early morning dawn chorus with roaring Lions and wooping Hyena, or perhaps watch a leopard lazing about in a Marula tree of stand face to face with a 7 ton bull Elephant, then there could be no better place to experience the African savanna in all her majesty.
Our Safaris and Tours offer you all the expertise and skills, as well as luxurious open safari vehicle that you would have in the private reserves but with the affordability of Kruger and its charming, nostalgic accommodation.
What is a Kruger National Park Day Tour - As the name suggests, a Day Tour or Day Safari is a single day safari in the Kruger National Park. There are 3 different types of day safaris which are essentially duration and time of day based. The Sunrise Safari takes advantage of the early morning dawn chorus and starts early. The early mornings are fantastic to look for the nocturnal predators that are soon to lie up for the day. The cooler mornings, particularly in summer, avoid the harsh summer sun and make for better game viewing. The Full Day Safari is your best chance of seeing the Big 5 as more time in the bush offers a better opportunity of sightings. Over the midday heat we will enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the camp restaurants before heading out again and scouting the local water holes and rivers. The Afternoon or Sunset Safari starts midday which means you can have a lie in and then continues until gate closing time. The Afternoon Safari enjoys longer periods at waterholes, sitting, watching and waiting and of course enjoying the afternoon golden orange hues and sunset skyline.
Overnight Kruger Safari Tour - These tours will spend 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 nights inside the Park staying in Krugers camps. Covering 20,000sq kilometers, the Kruger is a incredibly large wilderness with camps that stretch the length and breadth of the Park. Our Overnight Tours take you on a journey through the different and diverse systems on the Park staying at these camps and exploring the more remote and wild places of the Park. The Day Safaris only allows us to spend time in a small portion of the Southern Region of Kruger whereas our Overnight Safaris will take you into the Central Grasslands and all the way up to the Far North. Central and Northern Kruger is very special and has a timeless and nostalgic atmosphere that takes you back 100 years. Its quite with far less tourists and offers a sense of the Kruger of Old. The Overnight Kruger Tours have a flexible itinerary and we either do morning and afternoon safaris daily from the camps that we travel to or we will do full day safaris between the camps venturing further north and seeing as much of the Park over the duration.

What our guest's say :
"We had the honor to be Andy’s guest! Seriously this guy knows what he is talking about.
We found the trip through google. We booked and payed the amount in advance with a link provided to the credit card payment system. Pick up was arranged by Andy and the driver was on time. Smooth ride from Mbombela to Numbi Gate.
We had amazing hours with Andy, his knowledge about the abundance of species is beyond words. An example, we went through the park and Andy stopped the vehicle because he heard something. He repeated the sound of the bird and got an answer. He pointed to a tree and there was an owl sitting in the treetop. No one would have ever seen the owl. It was amazing. Andy was constantly observing the surroundings and was looking for animals tracks and signs. We saw a lot and he explained a lot cuz we were so curious.
He is clearly an exception.
Thank you for sharing this great experience!"
#Book Safari
As the copper Sun and its warm orange rays fade to starlight, our sunset Safarras head out onto the African plain in the late afternoon. The time of day when the adventurers and traders of old Africa would outspan and plan their camp for the evening. From the morning chorus it prepares for the soft eerie whisper of the African night. A time of day to go in search of thirsty elephants and lazy leopards. When lions slowly begin to rouse and open their eyes and frogs, crickets and nightjars save their breath for the evening symphony. Sunset Safari is a time between two worlds, the golden hour of portraits and still lifes. The comedy and drama of its day begin to make way for the thrill of its night. On your Sunset Safari our guides will read off the morning storyboard and re-embellish the day's events, anticipating the game's next steps. It’s a time of day to visually and imaginatively inspire story and tale from the bush and its wildlife.

The SUNSET KRUGER NATIONAL PARK Safari Experience
The KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of Africa’s premier Game Reserves with a near 20,000sqm kilometres of protected wilderness. The Kruger National Park is a bucket list destination for the avid adventure traveller, safari lover and wilderness aficionado. Being South Africa’s 2nd most popular destination after Cape Town, it’s a destination that needs an expert operator to guide you in your expectations and planning.
As the Premium Kruger Park Safari Operator, Safaria offers guests a host of Day Safari and Overnight Safari packages into the Kruger Park that focus on a more personalized and boutique safari experience. What makes us different is matter of both the “who” and the “how”. It comes down to who we are and how we make you feel. We follow a family philosophy around Safari and from our experiences have established a narrative around story telling and educating our guests. Our Safaris are not tours but journeys in the true sense of the word and every Safari is one of exploration and observation. The two main ingredients that we place the most emphasis on is the quality of Guiding and then making sure our guests are seated on the finest vehicles in operation. These two ingredients provide the very platform to ensure that our guests have a memorable experience.Here are a few questions that are regularly asked and we want to help answer them for you.
Choosing the right Day Safari operator all starts with your own expectations of the Safari experience that you want to have. With a wide variety of operators to choose from it’s important to do your research as they vary from a 3Star to a 5Star. Quality operators have a standard and that’s usually clear in the quality of vehicles operated as well as website, product descriptions, booking platform and up to date social media platforms. Ticking all of these boxes would mean you have found a quality operator.
What Safaria aims to do is set the standard in being the Premium Kruger Park Day Safari Experience and we do it by making sure that we offer the very best in every aspect. From our vehicles and guides to our digital presence and booking functionality. Doing the basics well are key but the real benchmark is the way in which we conduct our Safari and our passion to share our knowledge of the Savannah in an informative and professional manner. This is what really differentiates a quality Safari from a Tour.
Our Safaria website offers guests a variety of Day Safari products that allows them to review the Safari, download the PDF as well as book and pay the selected Safari on the requested date through a secure credit card pay link. Our online booking platform is hosted by Nights-Bridge who are a reputable destination booking solution giving you piece of mind that your booking and payment are professionally handled.
