Kruger

Kruger National Park is the wildlife centrepiece of four Timeline Travel tours, from the 8-Day Cape Town and Kruger break to the flagship 12-Day Southern Africa Adventure that continues on to Victoria Falls. Days are built around open-vehicle game drives from lodges positioned right at the park's gate, searching for the Big Five across some of the best game-viewing terrain in the world.

Things to Do

Morning and afternoon game drives
Guided open-vehicle drives into the park in search of lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant.
Sunset safari on arrival
Several itineraries schedule a first game drive at sunset, the same day you land.
Stay right at the gate
Lodges like the Kruger Gate Hotel and Kruger Park Lodge sit at the park boundary, minimising drive time to the action.
Panorama Route add-on
A scenic day exploring God's Window, the Three Rondavels and Blyde River Canyon, built into the itinerary either side of the safari.

Travel Information

Kruger typically gets two to three nights of game viewing on a Timeline Travel itinerary, reached by a direct flight from Cape Town or Johannesburg rather than a self-drive. It's most often the middle leg of a longer trip — paired with Cape Town on one side, and either the Panorama Route or Victoria Falls on the other.
