Which safari is right for you?

Private Kruger Safaris and B1 Photo Safaris are sister companies, both run by the Bekker brothers. They are separate businesses with separate safaris: choose PK to see Kruger, choose B1 to photograph it.

What guests say

★★★★★  Ronald James Urry  ·  Google  ·  a month ago

“We had an excellent morning safari with Private Kruger Safaris. The vehicle was comfortable and well suited to the drive, and our guide, Wesley, was outstanding: punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and thoroughly pleasant throughout.”

★★★★★  Patrys van Wyk  ·  Google  ·  2 months ago

“It was amazing seeing wild dogs, giraffes, elephants and a lot of other beautiful places and animals. The experience was genuinely one of my favourite memories. Hennie Bekker is a fantastic guide, and knows all the best places to be.”

★★★★★  Steven Cohen  ·  Google  ·  5 months ago

“We booked a last-minute two-day trip with Bernhard, who was incredibly responsive, even late at night. He answered all of our questions quickly and seamlessly set us up with Wesley for an amazing experience.”
