4-Day Kruger Safaris From Johannesburg - Compare 102 Safaris
Going on a 4-day Kruger National Park safari from Johannesburg is one of the best things you can do in southern Africa. Johannesburg is the region’s major international gateway, and you can easily reach Kruger and the surrounding area from the city, by either road or air. Once you’re there, Kruger is a world-class wildlife destination, both in the national park and in the private or provincially managed reserves that surround it. The park itself is busier, but it’s a massive place and you can always escape the crowds. The private reserves are more exclusive with fewer vehicles and other travelers out on safari, and they share the same wildlife as the park itself (there are no fences between the two).

4 Questions About 4-Day Kruger Safaris From Johannesburg
Anthony Ham
How do I get to Kruger from Johannesburg?
“You can reach Kruger from Johannesburg by road or by air. On a 4-day safari, traveling by air can be a good idea, as it will maximize the length of time you’re actually in and around Kruger, rather than traveling to get there. Flying may not be a particularly cheap or affordable way to travel; actually, it’s really expensive. But you might be able to get a commercial flight (which will be cheaper than a charter flight) into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, which is close to the southwestern corner of the park. If you have an unlimited budget, you could also fly from Johannesburg into an airstrip belonging to one of the lodges or tented camps in the Kruger area. Driving is the other possibility, and it’s definitely the way to go if you’re on a tight budget. Kruger’s Numbi Gate (the closest entrance) is 375km/233mi by road from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, which should take 4½ to five hours. If you leave early, you could reach Kruger by lunchtime on day 1.”
1What animals can I see on a Kruger safari?
“When you choose Kruger for a wildlife safari, you know you’re in for an amazing trip. Better still, with 4 days on safari, you have a good chance of seeing many of the park’s iconic species. This might include the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), each of which is commonly seen in Kruger. I was once lucky enough to see the Big Five on a single afternoon game drive in Timbavati Nature Reserve. With 4 days, you should have a really good chance. Apart from the Big Five, you could also encounter zebra, giraffe, cheetah, hippo, wildebeest, impala, greater kudu and spotted hyena, not to mention many of Kruger’s 500-plus bird species. When thinking about what you might see and where you might go, it’s worth remembering that there are no fences between the national park and the private reserves: they’re all excellent for seeing animals.”
2Should I choose a self-drive, private or group tour for a Kruger safari?
“It’s almost impossible to have a bad safari in Kruger, so which type of tour you choose will depend on your budget and the kind of experience you wish to have. A self-drive safari is my favorite way to explore Kruger, simply because of the freedom it gives you to go where you want to go. You alone decide when to stop and when to move on. The main disadvantage of a self-drive 4-day safari is that it can take up to five hours to get to Kruger on the first day, and just as long to drive back to Johannesburg on the last day. This means that you’ll have less time to enjoy the park. Group and private safaris are similar in terms of where you stay and how you get around. The difference is that a private safari is a more intimate way to get around, as you have the vehicle, guide and driver all to yourself. You also have more control over the itinerary than you will on a group safari. Then again, a private safari can be expensive, and is usually beyond the means of those hoping for a cheap or more affordable safari.”
3What is the cost of a 4-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg?
“There is such a variety of packages and tours for a 4-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg that it can be hard to know what to expect. For a budget camping safari, your trip might cost around US$100 per person per day, although it could be much higher than this. For the cheapest package, you might be expected to help with cooking, cleaning up, and setting up and taking down tents. At the other end of the price scale, the cost could be US$500 per person per day, or even much higher. Variables to consider when calculating the cost of your safari range from the type of accommodations and the type of safari (private safaris are more expensive than self-drive or group safaris) you choose, to the time of year you plan on traveling. If there are any flights in your safari, that will also push the cost significantly higher. Whenever you receive a quote from an operator, make sure that you understand what it includes. Unless you’re on a self-drive safari (for which you’ll need to factor in food and fuel supplies), quotes should include transfers, accommodations (including camping equipment where needed), guide, driver, vehicle, game drives, park entry fees, meals and some drinks.”
