Is the Kruger Park Safari in Private Concession for Me?

This short journey is perfect for a first experience on safari. Not only do you get to enjoy wonderful game viewing in the Kruger National Park, but you stay at a tented camp within a private concession, with professional game rangers and delicious food.

You can either book the safari as is, or we can extend and/or combine with another camp located within a different section of the Park. It is all-inclusive from Johannesburg, including the flights and airport transfers, and back to Johannesburg.

Your 3-Day Itinerary

A pair of cheetahs playing in Kruger National Park

Your journey starts at Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport, for the scheduled flight to Hoedspruit. You will be met on arrival at Hoedspruit Airport and transferred to Hamiltons Tented Camp, located within a private concession inside the Kruger National Park. Depending on the time of arrival, you can enjoy lunch. Depart on an afternoon game drive and return to camp for dinner and overnight. As one of the first private concessions in the Kruger National Park, Mluwati has worked tirelessly to ensure the sustainability of this pristine wilderness that for over 100 years has been a sanctuary for over 114 reptiles, 34 amphibians and 147 mammal species, including Africa’s Big Five.

Relax on your Sala lounges or cool down at your private plunge pool while enjoying the breath-taking views. Late afternoon, depart on a game drive followed by dinner.

Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.

This trip was booked 3 times before it finally happened thanks to the pandemic and border closures etc. Alice from Discover Africa was with us for the entire 3 years – from planning, cancelling, and rebooking. She stayed in touch and communicated with us regularly during the entire 3 years. Her insights and suggestions helped make this trip one that will be very difficult to top.

In terms of the actual holiday … Words fail me! Someone was watching out for us because we had multiple sightings of the Big 5, Magnificent 7 and Super 8 plus all of the other animals – small (mouse) to big (elephant). Pretty special when you consider that includes two sightings of Wild Dogs when there are only circa 400 in total in Kruger! I appreciate that’s completely outside of anyone’s control but worth mentioning. Going in September meant that the bush wasn’t at full height, so we were able to see the animals.

The lodges were great – Thornybush and Jock’s Safari Lodge They were luxurious without being pretentious. We were well taken care of and well fed! Gallo Manor Lodge in Johannesburg was very comfortable, and we were well taken care of again – the Director, Angel, chauffeured us to and from the golf course which was unexpected and very kind.

This holiday combined golf with safaris. The golf was good too. Hans Merensky course is well laid out and an interesting course to play. It does need some investment (as well as the hotel). Leopard Creek was an experience! Old world golf club and an interesting course (unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife like we did at Han Merensky). We really enjoyed the Rocklands Course at the Johannesburg Country Club and had a lovely meal afterwards looking over the course.

Thanks to Alice at Discover Africa for putting this holiday together for us.
