Kruger Safari

Kruger Safari

The Mpumalanga area of Kruger National Park region is one of great contrast. Various private reserves and the renowned Kruger National Park are located here. Spend time both in the park and on Drifters’ own adjacent reserve.

Being privately owned Drifters are able to conduct walking trails and open vehicle drives on their property.
