Camping and self-driving Kruger with a fully equipped 4x4

Experience the magic of the African bush as you wake up to the sound of birds and the sun rising above the horizon. With our self-drive safari package, you can explore the wonders of the park on your own terms.
Take off on a game drive whenever you please, keeping your eyes peeled for the iconic animals that roam the African plains. The landscape of the park is constantly changing and every gaze reveals a new vista.
With the freedom of your own vehicle, you have the chance to customise your safari to your liking. Some choose to set out in the morning and return to camp for brunch and some downtime before embarking on another game drive in the afternoon. Others prefer to spend the whole day exploring the park, stopping at picnic sites and other camps for breaks and meals, before returning to the campsite just before the gates close.
Camping in Kruger is a special experience as the thin tent walls bring you up close and personal with the nocturnal sounds of the African wild.
