See elephants, lions and even African wild dogs at your own pace for a fraction of the cost of traditional game drives
While many African reserves are only accessible to those with the thickest wallets, Kruger, South Africa’s first national park, offers the chance for a far more affordable self-guided safari. Here, on the border with Mozambique, you can see giraffes and even rare African wild dogs from a rental car little different to the one you might drive at home.
A more affordable option is to fly to Kruger Mpumalanga, pick up a car at the airport and drive an hour to Kruger’s Malelane Gate. Wi-fi and 4G is very limited but you can buy maps at the airport and in park shops; Kruger’s major camps have petrol stations. Once in Skukuza, recover from the journey with a trip to the nearby hide at Lake Panic — a favourite spot for birdwatchers.
Satara is in one of the best places to see big cats, so head out on the S100 road at dawn the next day for the chance to glimpse one of the park’s most famous ones — a white lion nicknamed Casper. Alternatively, book a guided morning bush walk at camp and listen out for their roars on foot. Your bed for the night is at Tamboti, an exhilaratingly wild, back-to-basics camp with safari tents hidden in a forest on the banks of the dry Timbavati River, roamed by genets and honey badgers.
