6-Day Kruger & Timbavati Luxury Private Safari

6-Day Kruger & Timbavati Luxury Private Safari is designed as a longer circuit with several changes of setting, following Kruger and Timbavati. Use it as a private proposal with room to adjust departure times and the daily pace.

Indicative market benchmark: US$4,412–5,146 per person, checked on 26 October 2026 against SafariBookings operator listings. This is a planning reference for a comparable route, not a confirmed Book Safari Tours rate or reserved departure. A dated quotation must confirm accommodation, transport, permits, taxes and inclusions. The meal table follows the researched reference programme; the final quotation confirms the services reserved for your party.

How the journey flows

South Africa offers a wide choice between national-park stays, private reserves and combinations with Cape Town or the Panorama Route. Kruger and the surrounding reserves are related geographically but operate under different accommodation, driving and guiding arrangements.

Check each day alongside its transfers. In particular, allow for pickup times and road or flight connections before counting a full wildlife-viewing day.

Why choose this route

Kruger

A Kruger stay can be organised as a park-based journey or as part of a wider regional circuit. Establish whether drives are guided or self-driven, and whether the overnight base is inside the park.

Timbavati

A private-reserve stay provides an alternative base in the Greater Kruger region. Check the lodge’s vehicle occupancy, access route and included guiding.

Private travel and accommodation choices

A private safari should define what is exclusive to your party. Road transport may be private while a lodge’s activities or a scheduled flight remain shared. Ask for those distinctions in writing, along with the camp names, room categories and exact number of nights at each base.

Accommodation and package scope

The research reference is in the luxury category. However, it is a starting point for discussion, not a hotel reservation. Then compare the proposed properties by their location, access to activities, room setup and meal plan. A tented camp can offer very different facilities from a basic campsite, even when both appear in the same broad budget search.

Next, request one itemised proposal. It should cover accommodation nights, game drives or guided visits, transfers, park charges, meals and drinking water. However, an activity mentioned as a possibility is not automatically included. Named hotels in third-party research are not evidence of a partnership or available rooms.

Prices, seasons and what can change

The researched USD reference is US$4,412–5,146 per person. Other displayed currencies are indicative conversions using the 2026-10-23 reference rates: USD 1 = EUR 0.89342, GBP 0.74804 and CAD 1.3995. Converted amounts are rounded up to whole currency units and are not exchange-rate guarantees.

Also, room sharing, the travel month, vehicle occupancy, domestic flights and permit availability can all change the final amount. Therefore, ask for the price for your exact party and dates. Include any single supplement, child arrangements and mandatory charges. Finally, check international airfare, entry documents, insurance, tips and optional excursions.

Compare what the quoted room rate includes: a private-reserve package and a national-park stay can have very different game-drive and meal arrangements. Allow proper connection time between the Cape and the safari region.
