Kruger in Depth

Fantastic itinerary, great guide and met some amazing people

Kruger Lodge Experience (3 days)

The tour guides and the tour itself were spectacular. The guides did their best to keep us entertained and knew exactly what they were doing. They went the extra mile to show us the big 5 which we really appreciated. The organization of intrepid and their customer service, on the other hand, was very poor. They were not responsive in a timely manner. They weren't willing to accommodate for minor inconveniences from the customer. For example, my crew asked to be picked up from a destination that was 5 min away from the original pick up location. Keeping in mind that we were supposed to be at that location at 5:30am, intrepid should have accommodated for us but it took 5 different people contacting them separately and several back and forth to come pick us up. Tourradar was also responsible for this mess because they acted as a middle man instead of directly allowing us to deal with the issue. These and other types of details that seem simple caused a lot of negative experiences in the tour. Aside from that, seeing the animals and the actual tour were priceless.

Kruger Lodge Experience

Kruger is amazing, as was the game drive. If I were to do it again, I'd change my optional day's itinerary from the panorama route tour (overpriced for what you get, and you see the best part of it included in your return drive to joburg) for another day in Kruger.

5-Day Kruger National Park Big 5 Safari & Panorama Route Tour

Wonderful experience. Delicious food, great game drives. Cozy atmosphere at the lodge. Friendly staff. Worth the money and a great value for a budget safari.

• $35 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Kruger National Park & Panorama Route Safari -"Small Group Special"

We had an amazing 3-day tour to the Kruger National Park. It was a great mix between wildlife, beautiful landscapes and South African history. We did an extra game drive in the park that was definitely worth it. Jakes is a great guide with a huge knowledge about the history of South Africa and the flora and fauna in and around the park. We can highly recommend doing a tour with him.

Magical Kruger National Park Safari

South Africa: Kruger Wildlife Tracking & Vineyards

Wild Kingdoms Safari (from Johannesburg to Durban)

Zacharia did an excellent job of providing information about South Africa’s history and the towns and cities we visited. He was a very safe driver. He acted in a professional manner and was punctual. The accommodation was excellent especially in Johannesburg and in Hazyview. The planned activities as well as the optional drives we paid for were excellent. We appreciated that Zacharia took us to visit a school when we requested it. The pacing of the tour was very good for our age group (seniors).

Best of Kruger National Park

Es hat organisatorisch alles geklappt. Alle Mitarbeiter von Kurt Safari haben sich große Mühe gegeben. Unterkunft und Verpflegung alles sehr ausreichend. Hatte erwartet, mehr Tiere zu sehen. Das Gras war aber auch ziemlich und es gibt ausreichend viel wasser im Park. Bei eigener Safari vor langer Zeit in der Etoscha pfanne habe ich etwa 100 mal so viele Tiere gesehen. Trotzdem war es ganz gut. Sehr gut leider nicht.

Johannesburg Adventure Safari 4 Days/3 Nights

The safaris on day one and two were excellent however I would say a few things are not as the itinerary suggests. The drive from johanessburg is not 4 hours, but more like 6-7 hours. Also, day 4 there is no time for a morning safari so this was incorrect too

Entabeni Nature Conservancy

I finally was able to see the famous Africa’s Big 5. It was a wish I had since childhood. The excellent staff of Timeline Travel and Honeyguide made this a magic trip I will never forget. Where so many things could have gone wrong they made sure everything went perfectly right. Thank you for arranging the best room available in the lodge. Thank you for arranging the special food I need for medical reasons. Thank you for the bonus of the lion and elephant families. Thank you thank you Mr. Andrew Machete.

What people love about Safari Tours from Johannesburg

Our guide was superlative. Our itinerary was superb. Our accommodation and food really satisfying and well beyond expectations. It was a great trip and I'd do it again at my first opportunity. And I'll recommend to far and wide!

Amazing trip! We saw a lot of animals despite bad weather. The food was nice and the lodge was cosy. I would recommend staying longer than we did (we only had three days).

It was an arranged tour by Intrepid together with their lodge/private reserve partners. As for me, I stayed at Bondux lodge and I has a great experience. The staff were friendly and well informed. The accommodation is great, meals and optional activities. I enjoyed chilling at the deack and watching the animals come. Also, the optional activity that I took was Endangered Animals Reserve and Blyde Canyon boat tour.

Johannesburg Safaris

Best Johannesburg Safaris

Are you looking for safari tour options from Johannesburg ? We have a selection of multi day, as well as day tour options for you to choose from. Welcome to South Africa Adventures ultimate Johannesburg Safaris guide . Our aim is to create unique and interactive travel experiences. Choose your ultimate wildlife tour and let us do the rest for you. We can even throw your mother in law to the lions if you want. A real South African Safari is a tour of contrasts.

But what else do you call a vacation where you will happily slalom between a herd of breeding elephants in the Pilanesberg , lions stalking an impala in the Kruger , traditional meals around a camp fire, stunning savannah scenery and fresh Bushveld air. The challenge is choosing the amount of time you have to experience this magic. Maybe you only have a day spare. Or maybe you have a week. Whatever your situation, we have a recommended safari tours for you to choose from.

There is an abundance of reasons to visit South Africa-safaris , dazzling Cape Town, the incredible garden route to name a few. But what really blows travelers minds is the abundance of natural splendor, exotic wildlife and overall experience of an authentic South African Safaris . But of course, there are millions of tour operator and option available on the net. Where is the best area to go? What is the best time to go? Ade there any safari tour options from Johannesburg ? Will I see animals?

We are going to try and answer a whole whack of your questions in this article, specifically focusing on tours leaving from Johannesburg . And why is that? Because that is where our main airport is. And Johannesburg is also the closest major city to the main safari areas of South Africa.  We will also recommend a whole bunch of tours that will include day tours as well as multi day tours to some of the iconic wildlife reserves. These include the Pilanesberg and the Kruger National Park .

Why embark on Johannesburg safaris tour?

80% of all international flights land at Johannesburg . It makes sense to start your safari from Johannesburg as you do not need to fly to another city. Johannesburg is also the gateway to most of the major safaris tours in South Africa . Two of the most popular destinations are the Kruger National Park and the Pilanesberg. The Kruger is about a 5-hour drive from Johannesburg . The Pilanesberg is about a 2-hour drive from Johannesburg . From a logistical point of view, these are the most accessible game reserves.

What is a safari park and where do we recommend you go?

Traditionally a safari park has been classified as a natural area where wild animals roam freely. There are many parks in South Africa that offer access to the public for the viewing of wild animals. The most popular by far due to their accessibility and distance from Johannesburg is the Pilanesberg and Kruger . Although there are many other safari parks, a lot of them are either private reserves or are too small to allow free roaming animals. Both the Pilanesberg and Kruger are National Parks that allow access to the public. They are also massive. Which means they can sustain free roaming animals that include elephants, rhino, zebra, wildebeest and a host of many other indigenous species.

Recommended Johannesburg safaris tour

We have divided our recommendations into 3 options based on how much time you have and the proximity to Johannesburg . No use going to the Kruger Park for 1 day as it takes 5 hours just to drive there. Whereas the Pilanesberg is only 2 hours from Johannesburg .

Half day safari excursion options

This is the perfect tour for travelers who have limited time. It is a perfect layover tour for those stuck at the airport and are looking at a wildlife experience. The total tour duration is 5 hours from pick up to drop off.

On this tour we pick up clients from any location within the Johannesburg area. We then take the 75-minute drive through the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountains to the Askari private game reserve. Upon arrival, we meet up with the ranger, have a quick cup of coffee, and transfer to our open-air game vehicle. We then spend 3 hours exploring the reserve in search for wild animals from elephant, rhino, lion, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and many other species indigenous to the area.

1-day safari from Johannesburg

Another perfect safari tour option if your time is limited. It is also the perfect option for travelers who are on vacation in Johannesburg and have decided to maximize their vacation by embarking on multiple day tours in order to cover all aspects of what the city has to offer. Our recommendation for a 1-day safari would be to the Pilanesberg National Park . Situated 2 hours’ drive from Johannesburg , this is the perfect way to experience an authentic South African Safaris .

The reserve is home to the Big 5 (Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and African Buffalo) as well as an abundance of other free roaming wild animals. These include zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, warthog, hippo and antelope. You will spend about 6 hours with our ranger on a ‘game drive’ in search of your favorite animal. And just for the record…the game we are referring to here are animals, not chess or monopoly. Pick up is at 6am from any location in Johannesburg , returning by 6pm.

2 day or 3-day Pilanesberg safari from Johannesburg

If you still have limited time and would really like to experience an overnight safari and all its magical wonders, then the 2-day safari to the Pilanesberg is your best option. We do not recommend that you book a 2-day safari to the Kruger Park . It is way too far away to maximize the experience. It takes about 6 hours just to drive there. So, you can imagine how little time is left for a proper safari . So best to stick to the overnight Pilanesberg option. On this tour, guests enjoy over 12 hours of game viewing with our ranger. And of course, you get to spend the night. We have various tour options to choose from depending on your level of comfort. We offer tented camping experiences, to luxury lodge experiences. Take a look at our selection below.

Multi day safari to the Kruger from Johannesburg Safaris

The multi day safari tours are the most popular experiences for travelers looking for nature, wildlife and tranquility. The best way to truly take in the magic of the Bush is to indulge in a multi-day tour. Sometimes 1 or 2 days is just not enough. Isak Dinesen wrote “when you have caught the rhythm of Africa, you find that it’s the same in all her music”. It’s not all about the singing and dancing, but the rhythms of the Bush: the sound of the Kruger as it wakes every morning, the roar of lion or the thunder of zebra hooves on the open plains.

Enjoy the thrill of epic game drives in search of your favorite animal with our experience’s ranger guide. Come and get rhythm. Experience a multi-day safari in the Kruger . There a few options to choose from depending on your time. All our tours are fully guided include everything from food, transfers, accommodation, game drives and our really dry jokes. Check out our tour options below:

Packing List for a 2 Day Kruger Tour From Johannesburg

When embarking on a short 2 day safari tour of Kruger National Park from Johannesburg, packing light is key. You’ll be moving around a lot and space in the tour vehicle is limited. Focus on the essentials:

Pack comfortable, casual clothing like t-shirts, shorts, light pants, and breathable shirts. Bring a jacket for cool early mornings and evenings. Good walking shoes, socks, and a hat are must-haves. Don’t forget pajamas, underwear, and any toiletries you may need.

A good pair of binoculars is essential for game viewing. Look for a pair that magnifies between 8x to 12x for the best experience. Binoculars allow you to get an up-close look at wildlife from a safe distance.

You’ll want to capture plenty of memories from your safari, so bring your trusty camera or smartphone. For the best wildlife shots, a DSLR camera with a long zoom lens (at least 200- 400mm) is ideal. Make sure you have plenty of batteries and extra memory cards.

Other Items

Pack a flashlight with extra batteries, insect repellant to ward off mosquitoes, sun protection like sunglasses and sunscreen, a basic first aid kit, hand wipes, and any important medications that you may need. Don’t forget your ID, passport, tickets, cash, credit cards, and any vouchers for your tour.

By focusing on the essential gear and packing light, you’ll be ready to set off on your exciting 2 day Kruger safari adventure from Johannesburg. The thrill of spotting wildlife in their natural habitat will make any inconvenience of limited packing space worthwhile! Enjoy your trip and happy game viewing!

Top Sightings on a 2 Day Safari in South Africa

A short safari is the perfect way to get a glimpse into South Africa’s incredible wildlife. Even with just two days in Kruger National Park, you have a good chance of spotting the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo.

Lions are the kings of the jungle, and seeing them in their natural habitat is a thrill. Prides of lions—groups of up to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs—lounge under trees and roam the open grasslands. Listen for their distinctive roaring, especially at dawn and dusk.

These elusive big cats are solitary and nocturnal, so spotting one is really special. Look for them draped over tree branches or stalking prey in the bush. Leopards are powerful swimmers and climbers, and they stash their kills up in the trees to keep them safe from scavengers.

Both black and white rhinos roam Kruger, though the black rhino is more commonly seen. Watch for them grazing on grass and shrubs or wallowing in mud holes to cool off and deter insects. Sadly, rhino poaching is an ongoing threat, so anti-poaching units actively monitor the park.

Enormous elephant herds—including mothers, babies, and young males—wander through the park. Bull elephants can stand over 13 feet tall! Watch them strip leaves from trees, gather at watering holes, and spray themselves with dirt and water. The sounds of their rumbling stomachs and flapping ears are unforgettable.

A two day safari adventure gives you a glimpse into the circle of life in Kruger National Park. With some patience and luck, you’ll spot amazing wildlife and gain an appreciation for these remarkable animals in their native habitat. A safari is an experience you’ll never forget!

2 Day Kruger Safari FAQs: Answering All Your Questions

While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, you have a good chance of seeing some amazing animals even on a short 2 day safari Johannesburg in Kruger park:

• Impala and Kudu – Two common antelope species found throughout the park.

• Zebras – Look for dazzling zebra stripes in the grasslands and woodlands. Warthogs – These bush pigs with their protruding tusks are always entertaining to watch.
