About this experience
Manyeleti Private Game Reserve is a Big 5 safari destination off the beaten path. The Manyeleti Private Game Reserve is located between the Timbavati and Sabi Sand Game Reserves and shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park. The 23,000-hectare Private Game Reserve offers a very authentic wildlife experience. There are no fences between the Kruger National Park and the Reserve, so wildlife are able to roam freely. Manyeleti is prime “Big Five” territory, offering exceptional possibilities for viewing the elusive leopard. Other Big 5 animals (lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant) are also often spotted on a very regular basis. In addition, with more than 300 bird species in the area, Manyeleti makes a great safari destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and bird watchers alike. Why we think booking a Manyeleti Experience is the right choice Away from the Mainstream Tourist area Off-Road safari drives Maximum 4 vehicles per wildlife sighting Small intimate Lodge

Truly memorable experience
My husband and I had a truly incredible time at Karongwe Reserve. The reserve had very strict rules about how many vehicles could be out and approaching the animals, so we almost always felt like our jeep was the only one out there and that ensured a very intimate experience with the wildlife and nature. We saw the Big Five and our guide and tracker were extremely knowledgeable, attentive and entertaining! The accommodation was 5*, the food was very good and diverse and the atmosphere was extremely friendly and hospitable. Of course this costs more than camping out in Kruger but it was worth every penny.

Our weekend in kruger
Me and my friends were studying in Cape Town for the summer and thought it would be fun to fly up to Kruger for the weekend and go on a safari. What we got was beyond our hopes. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see in large quantities. Our guides were great and knew great spots to stop for our sunset and early morning game drive stops. I 100% recommend checking out this experience
Response from the operator: Good Day Ben, Thank you for your wonderful review on our Safari to the Manyeleti Private reserve. It was a pleasure having all of you on safari with us. The guides at the lodge and all of the staff at Kruger Park Travel, do their out-most to offer a once in a lifetime safari experience and we are glad that we lived up to your expectations. We are looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Best way for young adults to do a safari!
This company could not have made our safari easier! We were a ground up 4 college students who wanted to have the entire safari experience but didn’t know how to begin to plan it. Wayne found the best package for us, and we loved every moment of our weekend. He took into account our college budget, and he found us the trip that gave us the best bang for our buck. We stayed at Manyeleti, and we saw all of the Big 5 plus everything else we could have hoped to see. The game drives were incredible, and the staff at Manyeleti (guide, spotter, and general staff) were the most genuine people. I’m so glad we found Wayne because we truly could not have put everything together in the way he did. All we did was book our flights into and out of Johannesburg, and he did everything in between. I definitely recommend this company! If you’re on a budget, if you’re overwhelmed by complicated planning, or if you aren’t even sure what you want your safari to look like, this company will put together the PERFECT itinerary for you! A truly wonderful experience.
Response from the operator: Good Day Helen, Thank you for your wonderful review on our safari to the Manyeleti Private reserve. It was a pleasure assisting the 4 of you and we are glad the Wayne, the lodge in Manyeleti and all of our staff at Kruger Park Travel lived up to your expectations. All of our consultants do their utmost to assist all travellers in getting the ideal once in a lifetime safari experience and offer 24 hours on safari support. The guides, trackers and staff at the lodge in the Manyeleti go out of their way to find as many animals as possible, along with making your stay as comfortable as possible and I must include that the food at the lodge is outstanding. Thank you once again for the glowing review and recommending Kruger Park Travel. Hope to see you on safari again.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $6857 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria, Half-Day Tour of Soweto Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
