Private reserves bordering Kruger · Africa
The best of Greater Kruger (2026)
The unfenced private reserves on Kruger's western edge — off-road tracking, night drives and walking safaris.
Greater Kruger is the name for the private reserves that share an unfenced border with Kruger National Park — Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Klaserie, Umbabat, Balule, Manyeleti and others. Animals move freely between them and the park. The difference is what you can do: lodges drive off-road to follow animals, run night drives and walk, and limit the number of vehicles at a sighting.
