Amazing safari
My tour was amazing. Polite and considerate hosts knowledgeable guides and amazing adventures. Come to see the park which should be a UNESCO world heritage site. Study its geology learn about the trees and the animals will come. The accommodations were splendid and go on every tour you can sunrise sunset and night and enjoy South Africa. My special thanks to hosts Khaliwe on Kruger.

Wonderful tour
My wife and I saw several animals (including 12 Lions) over the course of the 7 day tour. The trips each day were well spaced to provide us a relaxed environment. Definitely recommend this safari tour.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We booked a 7 day Kruger Safari North to South with Balanta. Even though our plane arrived very late due to mechanical issues our driver, Thapelo, was cheerfully waiting for us at the airport. He got us to our hotel in time to enjoy dinner at the restaurant there and returned for us early the next morning for our drive to Kruger. Even though he was not our assigned guide he stayed with us until we were able to meet our guide in the park and we had many great animal sightings plus a fantastic drive out to Crooks Corner with Thapelo. You will absolutely not go wrong with Behke as your guide, he was amazing. We saw the Big Five plus so much more from large to tiny creatures. Behke is a wealth of knowledge about the park, the animals, birds, plants and culture and willingly shares what he knows. He was more than happy to stop not only for elephants but also for mongoose and tiny steenbok or even a tree. He took us on many side trips off the main paved roads where we saw such wonders as a family of elephants digging in a sandy streambed for water, a cheetah that startled us as much as we startled him, a hyena, 2 different leopards, just to name a few. Behke is very much a "people person" and we greatly enjoyed his company. On our last day in the park we still had not seen rihino and were starting to think they may elude us when Behke began dancing in his seat- he had found a mother and calf! It was a great end to our Kruger experience. We cannot thank Balanta and their staff enough for this life changing trip.

Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals cost?
+
Prices start at $2,384 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 Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals?
+
Around 1 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals 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, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum. 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 Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Use of professional guides; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Breakfast. Not included: Kruger Conservation Fees Internationals, Kruger National Park. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals 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 Kruger National Park 7-Day Safari with Game Drives, Hotels, Meals?
+
