Technically? Yes, you can. Kruger has public areas which allow guests to pay a park entrance fee and drive around on safari by themselves but given the park’s immense size (almost 19,500 km²), we wouldn’t recommend it.
Travelers will have a far more rewarding experience if they safari in a private area of the park, where vehicle numbers are limited (the public areas can get very crowded at sightings) and with a ranger who knows the lay of the land and the wildlife, too. Some of our favorite reserves and concessions include Sabi Sand, Timbavati, and Lion Sands.
