Kruger Private Concession Safaris

Experience Kruger's

Best-Kept Safari Secrets

Unlock the ultimate Kruger adventure within its exclusive private concessions. Experience thrilling off-road game drives led by expert rangers, immersive bush walks in pristine wilderness, and unparalleled luxury at secluded lodges. Discover a refined way to encounter Kruger’s iconic wildlife – away from the crowds and surrounded by a sense of untouched wonder.

Unlike the private reserves situated on the western border of the National Park, the government sector of Kruger National Park hosts several ‘privatised concessions’ of land. These areas have been privatised for use by luxury safari lodge operators and are managed similarly to private reserves like Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Timbavati Game Reserve.

The advantage of staying at a private Kruger Concession lodge is that you are situated within the revered safari wilderness of Kruger National Park while enjoying all the benefits of a private safari lodge. Most visitors to the government-owned National Park are restricted to traversing on tar roads in their own vehicles and dealing with crowds. However, in a concession area, you will enjoy day and night game drives in open vehicles with private guides, bush walks (at certain lodges), and superior accommodation quality.
