3-Day Budget Kruger Safari

Q: What kind of accommodation is included in the "Budget" package?

We stay at primary SANParks rest camps (such as Pretoriuskop). You will stay in a traditional, rustic bush chalet or hut. While these units are clean, and comfortable, they typically utilize communal ablution facilities (shared bathrooms). This allows us to keep the package price significantly lower while keeping you right inside the park where the action is.

Q: Are SANParks conservation fees or Wild Card entries included?

Yes, for your convenience, all SANParks conservation fees are fully included in your 3-day budget safari package. You won't need to worry about daily gate payments or out-of-pocket entry costs. If you have a valid Wild Card, please let us know at the time of booking, but rest assured that your entry to the Kruger National Park is already covered as part of your seamless safari experience. Just remember to bring your South African ID or Passport for verification at the gate.

Q: Will I be sharing the safari vehicle with other guests?

Yes, our budget safaris are typically shared tours. This is a great way to meet fellow bush enthusiasts! Our open safari vehicles are designed for maximum visibility, ensuring everyone has a "window seat" for photography. If you prefer a completely private experience for your group, please ask us about our private vehicle upgrade options.

Q: How do meals work on this budget tour?

To give you the best start to your day, daily breakfast is included in your 3-day budget safari package. We typically enjoy breakfast at one of the scenic rest camp restaurants after our early morning game drive. For lunch and dinner, meals are for your own account, giving you the flexibility to choose between a sit-down meal at the camp restaurant, grabbing quick snacks, or picking up "braai" supplies from the well-stocked park shops. We schedule regular stops at these facilities throughout the itinerary so you can refuel at your own pace.
