FAQ
Kruger 3-Day Big Five Safari — quick answers
Are the Big Five guaranteed?
The concession is fenced-free with Kruger and has all five species resident. Most 2-night guests see 4 of the 5; leopard is the least predictable.
Is malaria a concern?
The greater Kruger area is a low-risk malaria zone. We recommend consulting your GP; prophylaxis is a personal choice.
Can under-6s come?
Under-6s are welcome at the lodge but cannot join open-vehicle game drives; a private vehicle can be arranged (additional cost).
