    Must do!

    This is an amazing three day safari option from Joburg to Krueger. The ride up from Joburg is long… About 5 hours…But the van was perfectly comfortable for the journey. (If you easily get car sick I would not advise. You’re much better off flying into the closest international airport about an hour from the park and taking a shuttle from there.) We stopped twice along the way at comfortable service areas with clean bathrooms, dining, and shopping. The guest lodge (Krueger Adventure Lodge) was good. Nothing fancy but very adequate for all your needs. I stayed in a luxury tent which was very comfortable. My only complaints were that a small animal could have easily gotten in if it had wanted (such as a snake or rodent), but fortunately the only thing that did was a big toad. The en-suite bathroom was nice. Hot water was very short lived in the mornings so be prepared for either quick or cold showers. The WiFi worked good and there was AC in the tent. Bed was very comfortable. The organized game drives were amazing. The included breakfast and dinner were also good. Service was excellent. There’s also a pool but I didn’t use it. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again although may opt for one of the more fancy room options the lodge offers since I am not a fan of critters and I was too paranoid of seeing one in the tent. Otherwise I have absolutely no complaints!

    Response from the operator: Hi 875ceceg, We are thrilled to hear you had such a memorable safari with us, and grateful for your kind words. It would be an absolute pleasure to host you again on your next safari with us. Warm regards, The MoAfrica Team

    Amazing experience in Kruger

    We got this reference from safari links when we travelled from johansburg to Hazyview. Miss Lavender Murape coordinated very well till she connected us with Mr Stanley our driver and guide for the three full days. He was very punctual and he has lots of knowledge about the kruger and each animal behaviour and other things. We had a great adventurous time of our life. It's quite difficult to spot animals but Stanley was very patient and we could see more than 30 animals during our three days safari. We are very happy with our tour and wish MoAfrika to keep up good work

    Response from the operator: Hi Dream49654508823, We are thrilled to hear you had such a memorable safari with us, and grateful for your kind words. Hearing that you enjoyed the breathtaking scenery is exactly what we hope for. It would be an absolute pleasure to host you again on your next safari with us. Warm regards, The MoAfrica Team

    3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.

    How much does 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $686 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 Kruger 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 Kruger Adventure Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Kruger 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 Kruger 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 Kruger Adventure Safari?

    +

    Around 4 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 Kruger 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, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. 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.

    What is included in 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari?

    +

    Included: Dinner. Not included: Personal Purchases. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 47 listed pickup locations in and around Johannesburg. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Johannesburg. Standard cancellation terms apply.

    What do travelers say about 3 Day Kruger Adventure Safari?

    +

    Across 12 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, organization, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
