What people love about Kruger National Park Tours from Cape Town
- Cape Town, Kruger & Zimbabwe
Great value for money. Safari Lodges were excellent. CEO Jeff was great and overall a very exciting and wonderful adventure. My only complaint is my roomate and I were not compatible and it was a bit harrowing at times having to deal with her but I managed and enjoyed my time.

Our recent trip to Zimbabwe was fantastic! Thanks to African Travel for their suggestions on a very thoughtfully designed itinerary. We started with our arrival in Johannesburg, where we were met by an African Travel representative and escorted from the arrival gate, through customs and to our departure gate for our onward flight to Victoria Falls. This was a great assistance to us having never been to this airport before. Victoria Falls was spectacular and certainly exceeded our expectations. We took a guided walking tour along the falls gorge, which brought us amazingly close to the precipice. The views were absolutely stunning! Victoria Falls River Lodge provides for a luxury experience in a tented camp, right on the Zambezi River, and next to Zambezi National Park! The game viewing on the river and in the park was spectacular, especially on the river, where we had close sightings of very animated Hippo and Elephant. The accommodations, staff and particularly the dining (all A La Carte) were all at a very high level of quality and I would not hesitate in visiting again or recommending this Lodge. As well as the amazing accommodations, game viewing, dining, sights, and people, I would have to say that African Travel were fantastic, in that all of our guides, our transfers, connecting flights, and accommodations were managed to a tee! I cannot think of a better managed travel experience, and can’t wait to use African Travel again!
Getting detailed confirmation of accommodation and fine details from Little Roz Tours was very difficult. Hotel in Cape Town (Colosseum) was NOT luxury as described but acceptable and well located. Staff all very kind and helpful. All guides were fabulous and tours pretty well organised. Complications with pilots on strike on Xmas day were finally sorted and losing a day in Kruger NP due to that was disappointing as Kruger NP & Nyati Big 5 Safari Lodge was the best part of the booking with Victoria Falls, Ilala Lodge Hotel, a close 2nd. Travelling solo I was surprised not to be part of a ‘group tour’ as I expected but luckily I am an independent person so it worked out and along with the other day tours I organised for myself I have the most amazing memories and photos to look back on. Thank you.

What our customers ask about Kruger National Park Tours from Cape Town
What's the typical length of Cape Town to Kruger National Park tours?
Most Cape Town to Kruger National Park tours run between 7 and 12 days with 10 days being standard. The typical schedule includes 3 to 4 days in Cape Town exploring sites like Table Mountain and Boulders Beach followed by 3 to 4 days of safari experiences in Kruger. Accommodations range from city stays at properties like Bliss Boutique Hotel or Southern Sun Cullinan to safari lodges like Idube Lodge in Kruger. "It was amazing. I highly recommend to everyone. I want to go back" reports one TourRadar traveler.
What are the best locations to start the tour from within Cape Town?
Tour departures concentrate in three key Cape Town areas. The V&A Waterfront district houses upscale hotels like Southern Sun Cullinan. The City Bowl area near Table Mountain features boutique stays such as Bliss Boutique Hotel. The scenic Camps Bay and Clifton beach zones offer oceanfront lodging options. These central locations serve as convenient pickup points for accessing Cape Town's main attractions.
What's the best time of year to book a Cape Town to Kruger National Park tour?
The dry winter months from May to October provide prime conditions for game viewing in Kruger as wildlife clusters around water sources. Cape Town's July to November period brings excellent whale watching in Hermanus and pleasant weather for wine country visits. Guest feedback at properties like Southern Sun shows highest satisfaction during these months. "The timing was perfect for both Cape Town sightseeing and Kruger game drives" notes one TourRadar reviewer.
What wildlife can I expect to see in Kruger after leaving Cape Town?
Kruger National Park offers reliable sightings of the "Big Five" - lion leopard elephant rhino and buffalo. The park also hosts abundant zebras giraffes hippos and various antelope species. Private reserves like Sabi Sands provide exceptional viewing opportunities. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "We saw all of the Big Five within our first two game drives in Kruger - absolutely incredible!"
What activities are included in Cape Town before heading to Kruger?
Standard tour inclusions feature Table Mountain aerial cableway rides Cape Peninsula excursions to Cape Point visits to the Boulders Beach penguin colony and wine tastings in Stellenbosch or Franschhoek. Programs typically allow free time at the V&A Waterfront with optional add-ons like shark cage diving. Hotels such as Southern Sun Cullinan and Bliss Boutique provide convenient access to these attractions.
What's the best way to travel between Cape Town and Kruger National Park?
Direct flights connect Cape Town International Airport with Kruger's Skukuza or Hoedspruit airports in about 2 hours. Most tour packages include these flights. Ground transfers then bring guests to safari properties like Lion Sands Tinga Lodge or Oase by 7 Star Lodges in Greater Kruger. "Everything went very smoothly with the transfers and flights between Cape Town and Kruger - it was all perfectly organized" reports a TourRadar guest.
