How the Kruger trip planner works
The Kruger Companion trip planner guides you through everything that matters for a Kruger National Park trip: your dates and travellers, how you arrive, what you want to see, where you sleep inside or outside the park and which activities you add.
At the end you get a personal plan: a day-by-day itinerary with links to every camp and to SANParks booking, a to-do list with booking deadlines, the daily conservation fees compared with a Wild Card, gate times for your travel months and malaria advice for your dates. Distances between stays are estimated, so the order of your camps makes sense.
The planner is free and works without an account. With a free Kruger Companion account you can save several trips, for example one in 2026 and one in 2027, and open them in the app under My Trip.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Kruger trip planner free?
Yes. The planner is free and works without an account. You only need an account if you want to save trips and open them in the app.
Can I book camps with the planner?
No. The planner links every camp to its SANParks page and tells you how early to book, but the booking itself is done with SANParks.
How accurate are the costs?
The daily conservation fees and Wild Card prices are based on the published SANParks tariffs for 2026/27. Accommodation costs are rough estimates. All amounts are without guarantee, so check current prices with SANParks.
Can I plan more than one trip?
Yes. Signed in with a Kruger Companion account, you can save several trips and switch between them. Each trip is stored separately.
Can I take the plan with me?
Yes. Download the plan as a PDF, print it or copy a link to it. Saved trips also appear in the Kruger Companion app under My Trip.
