Whether you’re planning a day trip or a multi-day adventure, the best way for you to experience Kruger National Park is with Stones Safaris. Our expert-led, small-group safaris provide a deeply personal, slow-paced journey through the African wilderness, ensuring meaningful wildlife encounters and unforgettable moments.
At Stones Safaris we are all about creating a meaningful, high-quality safari experience. Our small-group approach ensures you won’t be lost in a crowd, and our expert guides focus on storytelling, tracking, and truly understanding the bush. Whether you have just one day or a few, we offer two incredible options to experience Kruger National Park: a full-day game drive or an immersive 3-night stay.
A perfect choice for those wanting to maximize wildlife sightings in a single day. Travel in an open safari vehicle with an expert guide who knows exactly where to find the best game viewing spots.
For those who want a deeper connection to the wild, the 3-night Kruger Safari is the best choice. Experience early morning game drives, evening bush sounds, and uninterrupted time in nature.
Hoedspruit is the perfect departure point for Kruger. The nearest entry point is Orpen Gate, just a
45min/1 hour drive from town, providing easy access to prime wildlife areas. If you’re arriving from Johannesburg, expect a
5-hour drive or a quick
1-hour flight to Hoedspruit Airport.
