What this trip actually is
Seven nights inside Kruger National Park. Not a day trip. Not a rushed circuit. Seven mornings waking up inside the park before the gates open, seven evenings watching the bush close down around you.The route runs south to north — in through Malelane Gate, out through Phalaborwa. Along the way: Lower Sabie (the best camp in the park, full stop), Satara in the lion country of the central grasslands, and a final stretch through the northern wilderness where the crowds thin out entirely.You drive it yourself. We plan it properly.
