What people love about touring Kruger National Park solo
If you are an out doors,tent kinda person, then this tour will be perfect. I'm not and it was still awesome. One of the best vacations ive ever had. It's a must do,and then back to the hotels and shopping. Lol
Kruger & Coast (from Johannesburg to Durban)
This was a tour that packed a lot in. There was a lot of travelling and long days on the truck but the game viewing was worth it eg lions, a leopard, hippos, zebra, etc. Our guide was great, totally unflappable but more information regarding the day’s itinerary would have helped so we could plan what to eat for lunch, what to wear and when to charge camera batteries etc. But that’s only a minor gripe. The camping was better than expected, with no mosquitos or other creepy crawlies. The camp beds were too big for the tents and it was difficult to zip them up but Karabo, our guide, arranged to have the bed frames cut down slightly which helped a bit. Not sure why Intrepid didn’t test them out first! The food was great, with only one meal not to my taste (oxtail stew). the trip was, overall, a brilliant experience which has given me a taste for more of Africa’s wildlife.
Kruger to Vic Falls (from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls)
- Kruger, Falls & Zimbabwe: Mineral Pools & National Parks
Very good tour - lots of driving but you can see the country and its people (Zimbabwe-side) and nice landscape (South Africa-side). The Matopos park in Zimbabwe is just amazing with the local guides - THE highlight of the tour!
What our customers ask about Kruger National Park Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Kruger National Park?
The dry winter season from May to September provides the best conditions for solo travel to Kruger. Animals gather near water sources making wildlife viewing easier and the malaria risk drops significantly during these months. Properties like Simbavati George Camp and Kruger Adventure Lodge create natural opportunities to meet other travelers through shared dinners and evening programs. The weather stays pleasant with daytime temperatures around 25°C/77°F which makes game drives at locations like Blyde River Canyon comfortable.
How social are the guided group tours in Kruger National Park for solo travelers?
Group tours naturally create connections between travelers through shared experiences. At lodges like Tremisana Game Lodge travelers come together for Bush BBQs at the Marula Tree Boma and afternoon game drives. The atmosphere encourages conversation and friendship. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The group was small only 11 participants from all ages and stages of life... everyone got on so well and were so close after a few days."
What type of accommodations can solo travelers expect in Kruger?
Places to stay range from standard lodge rooms to unique sleeping arrangements. Tremisana Game Lodge provides air-conditioned chalets with private bathrooms while Marc's Treehouse Lodge offers elevated wooden houses. Each option balances comfort with the safari experience. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Staying in the treehouse at Marc's was a highlight - it was comfortable while still feeling adventurous and the communal areas were great for meeting other travelers."
How much wildlife interaction can I expect on a guided Kruger tour?
Most tours schedule 2-3 daily game drives in areas known for wildlife like Orpen gate. The vehicles get close enough for good viewing while maintaining safe distances. One TourRadar traveler reported: "Our expert guide helped us spot over 30 different species including lions elephants and even a leopard during our sunset drive. The shared excitement of these sightings really brought our group together."
Do I have to pay a single supplement for Kruger National Park tours as a solo traveler?
Single room fees typically cost between USD 200-400. Some companies like Viva Safaris offer roommate matching at places like Tremisana Game Lodge to help travelers avoid extra charges. A TourRadar guest commented: "I chose to share a room at the lodge and ended up making a great friend while saving on costs."
