1. How much does it cost to go to Kruger National Park safari?

Kruger National Park safari costs vary widely depending on the type of trip, with packaged tours ranging from approximately $48 to over $5,000 per person. Daily conservation fees for foreign nationals are currently around $27 per adult, and self-drive costs can be significantly lower but require more planning. Accommodation, guided drives, and park fees all factor into the total price.

   2. How far in advance should I book an African safari?
12 to 18 months

The short answer to how far in advance you should book your safari is: 12 to 18 months in advance: For peak season safaris (Great Migration safaris, gorilla trekking, or exclusive lodges). 9 to 12 months in advance: For most standard safaris in East or Southern Africa.

    3, How do I choose a good safari company?
Make sure you visit independent review platforms to read up on other travellers’ experiences with various companies. Take some time to check how long your tour company has been around and also what they specialise in. You can view Wild Planet Safari traveller reviews on Feefo, an independent online review platform.

  4. When not to visit Kruger National Park?
However, extreme dry seasons can also result in increased animal deaths, so it’s best to avoid visiting in July, August and September, the season’s driest months. And in the rainy season (from October to March), abundant rainstorms and foliage can make it difficult to see animals.
