7 Day Extensive Kruger Park Self-Drive Safari Tour

On arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, collect your travel documents and rental vehicle before driving east toward Kruger National Park. This itinerary is best aligned as a northbound and then southbound circuit: enter the park and continue to Letaba Rest Camp for two nights, where the river setting and surrounding mopane veld are well known for elephant sightings and varied birdlife. From Letaba, continue south to Satara Rest Camp for two nights in one of Kruger’s best-known wildlife areas, especially rewarding for big game viewing in open grassland country.

Your final two nights are spent at Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp in the park’s southern region, where rugged granite hills, wooded riverine habitat, and access from Malelane Gate create an excellent finale to the route. After your last morning game drive, exit the park and return to Johannesburg to hand back the vehicle at O.R. Tambo International Airport. This revised sequence now matches the accommodation list, map routing, and SANParks camp geography shown elsewhere on the page.
