Discover Kruger Park Safaris with Nhongo Safaris
Embark on a journey through one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, Kruger National Park, the crown jewel of Kruger Park Safaris. Spanning over 19,000 square kilometers, this legendary wildlife haven stretches across South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, offering an awe-inspiring natural escape filled with Big Five sightings and rich biodiversity.
At the heart of the park lies Skukuza, the administrative hub and gateway to thrilling wildlife experiences. Bordered by the Limpopo River to the north, the Crocodile River to the south, the dramatic Lebombo Mountains to the east, and the landscapes of Mpumalanga and Limpopo to the west, Kruger is a dream destination for safari-goers and nature lovers alike.
The roots of Kruger Park Safaris date back to 1898, when the area was first protected as the Sabi Game Reserve. In 1902, legendary warden James Stevenson-Hamilton took the reins. By 1926, multiple reserves were merged to form the official Kruger National Park.
Tourism blossomed in the 1920s with the famous "Round in Nine" rail excursions. Over the decades, conservation efforts such as fencing and rewilding ensured the park’s protection and sustainability. The Makuleke region in the north, reclaimed in 1996, is now a beacon of community-driven eco-tourism.
Today, Kruger stands at the heart of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, connecting Zimbabwe’s Gonarezhou National Park and Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park. It’s also part of the UNESCO-designated Kruger to Canyons Biosphere.
With Nhongo Safaris, you don’t just visit Kruger, you experience it. Join us and discover the magic of Kruger Park Safaris, your unforgettable adventure starts here.

From start to finish, Nhongo Safaris took care of everything, including smooth transfers with Safari Link. We spent nights in Pretoriuskop, Olifants, and Shingwedzi, each offering a unique feel and stunning wildlife. From lions roaring near camp to herds of elephants along the river, it felt like a different world. A special thank you to the entire Nhongo team for creating such a rich and authentic experience.

This was my first time in South Africa, and choosing Nhongo Safaris was the best decision I could have made. Gift, our guide, had incredible tracking skills and a deep respect for the wildlife. We spotted a pride of lions on our last morning and it was something out of a documentary! Everything from the transfers to the meals was handled so professionally. I’m already planning a return trip. Patrick Mwaura2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 4 Day Adventure Safari was everything we hoped for.

John Joseph Benares2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic time on our 3-day Budget Kruger safari with Nhongo Safaris. My wife was a bit apprehensive doing a budget safari, as she was not sure of the accommodation. But she really enjoyed it, even saying she would like to come back and do it again. Gift was our guide, and he was fantastic and so knowledgeable. The drives were very informative, with great sightings being experienced. The accommodation was very clean, and comfortable, with even soap and and towels to use. Breakfasts were enjoyed at the picnic spots in the morning at a break while out on the morning drive. Dinners were enjoyed in the camp restaurant in the evenings. There was also time in the camp for us to use the swimming pool during the break. We could also book a night safari which we went on, and that was cool with lots of animals been seen, even lions close to the vehicle. All in all, it was a fantastic time, and highly recommend Nhongo Safaris when wanting to visit the Kruger National Park.
