The Greater Kruger borders the world-famous Kruger National Park, and comprises many large private game reserves. With the Kruger National Park being a National Park and open to the public – these reserves are privately owned and only accessible to those that book a stay within the reserves thus being very exclusive and private. Some of the most well-known reserves are Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Timbavati, Klaserie, Thornybush, Balule, and Manyeleti.
We have featured Sabi Sand as a destination of its own, so this would comprise the rest of the reserves and their properties.
A limited number of luxury lodges ensures the utmost privacy accompanied by excellent guiding and Big 5 game viewing and activities.
