Kruger National Park Safari Combos

Kruger National Park is the most exciting South African safari destination. On a safari in Kruger National Park you are likely to spot the Big Five wildlife which comprises of Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo.

This is a popular safari destination for both local and international travellers, due to the good infrastructure, superb wildlife and variety of accommodation options.

Combine Kruger Park with one of these iconic destinations

Nothing beats a safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. But, since South Africa is packed with plenty more attractions to top up your bucket list, it’s only fair to add at least one more to your itinerary.

If you’re up for venturing slightly further afield, you could easily tick off another country too - there are plenty of surrounding neighbours that are just as easy to get to, even if you’re short on time.

To help you decide where to pair your Kruger holiday with, we’ve chosen some of our Siyabona favourites:

Kruger National Park + Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve

Both the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Game Reserve are premier wildlife areas, packed to the rafters with wild game. Not only are these areas in close proximity to one another, but visiting both will give you a well-rounded experience, doubling your chances to spot a wider collection of game.

Generally, accommodation in the Kruger is more varied, and a better fit for those on a tighter budget, but if it is luxury you seek, the Sabi Sand is acclaimed for its high-end, up-market lodges. While you’ll pay top-dollar here, it’s the best place to encounter those elusive leopards, and tracker-guides can get you off-road during game drives to enhance your viewing experience.

At the end of the day, these two areas share an unfenced border, so even though you can head right into the veld in the Sabi, the animals remain completely unphased and freely roam between the two.

Kruger + Cape Town

Combine the ‘Mother City’ with the ‘mother’ of all safari destinations, as you travel from Cape Town to the Kruger (or visa versa) with this flagship combo. These two locations could not be more opposite but have long been rewarding travellers with that quintessential balance between urban living and bushveld life. It’s definitely a favourite for first-time visitors to South Africa.

Go from Cape Town’s rugged mountains overlooking beautiful beaches, jaw-dropping coastal drives, museums, chic boutiques, galleries and cafes, to ambling out into the African wilderness in search of lions and leopards.

With this dynamic duo, you’ll be snapping up your best holiday pics of prowling predators, and topping up on your new favourite local wine in no time at all.

Kruger + Victoria Falls

If you’re craving an adrenaline-packed safari somewhere in Southern Africa, the Kruger and Victoria Falls should top your list!
From wildlife to waterfalls, travelling between these two holiday icons is easier than you could imagine, with all-out adventure and exceptional game viewing all rolled into one.

Once you’ve racked up your wildlife sightings in the Kruger and lapped up that lodge life, with sundowners and relaxation time on viewing decks surrounded in untouched wilderness, you can make your way over to into either Zimbabwe or Zambia to view the ever mighty Victoria Falls.

Experience spine-tingling activities such as white water rafting, bungee jumping and Zambezi sunset cruises near Africa’s greatest natural wonder: Victoria Falls.

In the Kruger you’ll get to head out in search of large game but in Victoria Falls, its all about seeking out the thrill of those adrenaline filled moments that you can experience first hand. Even if you aren't typically an active traveller, you will find yourself wanting to give some of these experiences a go.

Kruger + Mauritius

This combo is particularly appealing for honeymooners and couples seeking a romantic getaway by the beach, paired with an intimate safari experience. Direct flights from the city of Johannesburg, travelling to and from the shimmering island of Mauritius makes things incredibly effortless.

This is ‘bush and beach’ at its very best with a rewarding selection of top-notch lodges and resorts equipped with all the amenities to keep you completely satisfied. The activities, or shall we say, opportunities for loving moments are also endless, from 4x4 game drives at sunset, to candle-lit dinners on the beach. The best part about these two destinations is that you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.

With more water-based activities to enjoy, you can easily switch up your time between lounging on the beach (normally only a few steps away from your resort) and taking part in the plethora of activities including kayaking, pedal and laser boating, windsurfing, snorkeling, water skiing, yoga, beach soccer, volleyball and bocci ball.

Kruger + Mozambique

While the Kruger is teeming with wildlife, Mozambique offers just enough cultural flair and palm-fringed, tropical beaches to complete your holiday here in Southern Africa.

Seeing as these two countries are right next door to each other, combining them is a no-brainer, especially if you are short on time. You’ll get a satisfying mix of animal adventure, vibrant African culture and laid-back island life.

What we love about Mozambique, is that its an easy choice for those on a bit of a budget who want to squeeze in a trip to the beach. Since they are so close, we can easily help you create an itinerary that ticks off all those must-do sun-and-safari activities, with accommodation in some of our favourite bush camps and beach resorts that strike just the right balance between authenticity and comfort.

Mozambique boasts some of the finest scuba in the world, but even if you aren't a qualified diver, you can still make the most of the underwater life with some snorkeling adventures, especially out on boat trips from your resort.
