There are multiple ultra-luxurious private game reserves in Kruger National Park, including the Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Manyeleti, Thornybush and MalaMala Game Reserves. Each is home to a number of secluded lodges, offering their own experiences and accommodation options.
At MalaMala Game Reserve, you have the opportunity to go off-road to get a closer look at the animals, go on night safaris, bushwalks, and have an uncrowded experience.
When staying at a public park, you have to stay on the designated main roads, can only safari during set hours, and have to share the experience with a convoy of other safari vehicles.
