South Africa Self-Drive Tour Itinerary: 5 Day Two Area Kruger Park Self Drive

★★★★★

Rated 4.9/5 stars based on 175 reviews.

Day 1-5: Arrival / Itinerary

Highlights

  • Predator-rich game viewing around Satara’s open central plains
  • Scenic Sabie River sightings from Lower Sabie camp
  • SANParks-guided night drive for nocturnal wildlife encounters

Guests are met on arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and assisted with collecting their rental vehicle before setting off on a five-day Kruger National Park self-drive safari. The first two nights are spent at Satara Rest Camp in central Kruger, an area SANParks describes as especially rewarding for game viewing thanks to relatively open bush and abundant wildlife. This gives guests the freedom to explore at their own pace while staying in one of the park’s best-known safari regions.

The final two nights are spent at Lower Sabie Rest Camp in southern Kruger, where the camp overlooks the perennial Sabie River and offers scenic riverine wildlife viewing. During the safari, guests also join a SANParks-guided night drive, adding an opportunity to look for nocturnal species and predator activity after dark. After exploring these two contrasting Kruger regions, guests return by road to Johannesburg, where the rental vehicle is returned at O.R. Tambo International Airport.
