Kruger National Park Suggestions for a 7 day self drive tour from Joburg
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 04:07 PM UTC
I am planning a trip to Kruger for next August/September 2009. My current plan is to hire a car from Joburg, drive to Kruger, stay at 2 or 3 luxury hotels/lodges over a 7 day period and then back to Joburg (and then off to Mauritius).

I am interested in any recommendations for luxury hotels that would fit well with this plan. Also although I will obviously have a car I am interested in any good organised field trips run by the hotels.

Thanks.

John

Hi John,

If you haven't organised the car yet I have a tip on My South Africa page for 'Aroundaboutcars'. I have used them twice.

Hi John. You obviously want to stay inside Kruger and not outside doing day trips into Kruger. One reason is that day visitors are limited and you might not get in on a specific day unless you are staying inside. The SANPARKS web site is pretty good if you have not looked at it yet - http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/tourism/accommodation.php
There are a number of luxury lodges within Kruger which should suit your needs.

Hi John, I would recommend staying at Savannah Private Game Reserve. It's inside Sabi Sands, which is a private part of Kruger. I stayed there a couple of years ago and am going again at Christmas. It's not cheap but well worth every penny. It's all-inclusive (apart from alcohol) and includes game wonderful game drives in open top jeeps morning and evening.
