Private concessions of the Kruger Park

Within the Kruger National Park (which is run by the South African government), there are a number of private concessions. Private concessions are areas within the Park that have been leased out to companies or individuals looking to establish a safari operation. Operators set up lodges on these concessions, which are similar to the private game reserves like Sabi Sands and Manyeleti Game Reserve, on the western boundary of Kruger. For the most part, these private concessions are run in an exclusive and luxurious manner. They offer excellent cuisine and superbly guided game drive experiences.

Although bound by most of the park rules, the private concessions do offer their guests more freedom and activities than you will have through the Kruger Park rest camps. Guests staying at lodges within the private concessions do have access to the rest of the park, but the wealth of wildlife to be found within the concessions sees most visitors opting to enjoy the more intimate experiences they find here.

Although private concessions offer a very similar experience to the private reserves, the concessions will suit visitors who want to visit and explore the heart of the Kruger National Park and not necessarily one of its neighbouring private reserves.

The concessions are not accessible to the public, but only to guests of the private lodges.
