Best places to start your Kruger National Park tour
Most people start their Kruger trip from Johannesburg, with our data showing 66 travelers chose this route last year. Another 17 began from Cape Town and some travelers connected their safari with Victoria Falls starting in Zimbabwe. Our booking patterns show you should plan about 3.5 months (103 days) ahead to get your preferred lodging and dates, especially for July, August and also September when viewing conditions peak. Many guests like to mix guided and self-drive experiences - they'll start with a pro guide to learn wildlife spotting basics, then explore on their own. The park's rest camps give you good value, while private lodges offer premium experiences with skilled trackers and exclusive drives. We've found first-timers really enjoy our sunset drives where they can spot nocturnal animals and watch the bush transition from daylight to dark.

Best time to visit Kruger National Park
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter safari tours from June through August give you the best chances to spot wildlife in the crisp morning air. Our most-booked 8-day route takes you from Johannesburg to Kruger with full-day game drives - you'll catch lions in action during those perfect dawn hours when visibility stretches far across the dry winter brush. The 12-day Kruger and Victoria Falls combo works really well now; you'll do morning 4x4 drives and also catch sunset river cruises when water levels dip just right for wildlife spotting. For something extra special, the 7-day premium option puts you in luxury lodges where elephants drink right by your private deck, with expert trackers showing you the prime spots. Quick 3-day Kruger tours pack in dawn and dusk drives when the cool air brings predators out. The 9-day combo lets you mix Kruger safaris with coastal trips, and winter's clear skies make game viewing particularly good.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn's mild weather and thinning vegetation from March through May make wildlife really easy to spot. The premium 8-day tours mix dawn game drives with sunset drinks on kopje rocks when the light turns perfect for photos. The full 12-day journey from Victoria Falls through Zimbabwe and also into Kruger gets you tracking rhinos on foot and joining anti-poaching teams on their rounds. Our 9-day adventure connects Kruger wildlife with coastal experiences just as whales start migrating. The focused 3-day trips hit all the key spots thanks to trackers who know where animals gather as the seasons shift. For something special, the 7-day premium option puts you in luxury lodges where you can watch elephants and buffalo drink while golden afternoon light paints everything. From what our travelers tell us, several tour operators stand out for Kruger Park safaris. G Adventures and Intrepid Travel get solid feedback - their guides know their stuff and the food gets high marks. The accommodations work well and everything runs smoothly. One of our clients had particularly good things to say about their experience with Amatungulu Tours and their guide Jakes. They mentioned how he really tailored the experience and shared deep knowledge about both the wildlife and South African history. This kind of local expertise makes a real difference on safari. For spotting the Big Five, Endless Summer Tours came recommended by someone who managed to see all of them. Having a guide who knows exactly where to look and when to visit specific areas can make or break your chances of seeing these animals. It's worth noting that while we don't have a huge number of reviews yet, the feedback we do have is consistently positive across these operators. Each seems to offer something a bit different - whether it's the personal touch of a smaller outfit like Amatungulu or the well-oiled operations of larger companies like G Adventures and Intrepid.
