Greater Kruger Game Reserves Holidays
The Kruger is South Africa’s beating heartland. Big 5 animals stream through the crisp savannah and emerald forests from rumbling herds of buffalo in their hundreds to prides of lion weaving through the long grass of the river banks.
While much of the Kruger National Park sees many tourists, the Greater Kruger lies in its quiet westerly parts where you can tune into the thriving plains and roaming wildlife without interruption. Each one of its private concessions offers swathes of undisturbed African bush to explore on a walking safari or in a decked-out 4x4. Not only does this remote area reveal an incredible amount of game but it also offers plenty of effortless ways in which to watch the wildlife unfold. Wake up to malachite sunbirds chirping around the aloes. Before a bush breakfast you could be treated to the sight of elephants crunching through the scrub or the whooping calls of spotted hyena that can be heard from miles away. Investigate pockets of thirsty pans with a ranger who can spot even the most elusive of paw prints hidden by the dust, or veer off-road in an open-top jeep to catch that breath-stealing sight of a leopard loitering in the trees.
Find the perfect spot in which to absorb South Africa’s flagship safari park with insightful advice from one of our destination experts.

Spend a night under the stars on Garonga’s sleep out deck
A popular activity for guests at Garonga is to sleep out under the stars. Perfect for romantics, the lantern-lit sleep out deck is located a 20-minute drive from the camp. Guests are driven to the sleep out area and as the sun starts to set, a three-course meal is served.
Behind the scenes, it takes about two hours to set up everything for guests, preparing the table for the evening meal and getting the four-poster bed ready. The guest’s room at the camp is kept for them in case the weather should change. Guests are driven to the sleep out area before sun set for an orientation of their night’s setting. They are given a safety briefing and once they know how to contact the camp, the magical atmosphere starts to take over.
As the sun starts to set, enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal. A few glasses of your favourite tipple will calm any nerves. From its elevated position, the deck overlooks a busy waterhole so there is often plenty of animal activity throughout the night, such as elephants making a splash or a leopard coming in for a drink. As you sink into the comfort of your bed, the atmosphere can be quite magical listening to the sounds of nature as you fall asleep under a glittery African night sky. Safari dreaming at its best.
Awaken the next morning to the sounds of the dawn chorus and watch as the sun rises. The start of a new day on safari begins.
