PK Safaris

PK Safaris is a specialist safari and eco-tourism operator in Hazyview and White River, offering private, tailor made experiences in and around the iconic Kruger National Park. Run by passionate owner guides who live and breathe the bush, PK Safaris focuses on intimate, small scale safaris that give guests space, flexibility, and time to truly absorb the wilderness. Whether you are visiting Mpumalanga for the first time or returning to Kruger for your tenth trip, their safaris are designed to feel personal, unhurried, and deeply memorable. From their base in Numbipark, Hazyview, PK Safaris serves couples, solo travellers, families, and small groups who want more than a standard “seat in a vehicle” game drive. Guests come from around South Africa and the world to experience private game drives, multi day Kruger safaris, and dedicated wildlife photographic tours with guides who are known for their sharp eyes, tracking skills, and engaging storytelling. Every itinerary is shaped around your interests, whether that is ticking off the Big Five, creating a birding list, or building a professional level photo portfolio. At its heart, PK Safaris is about sharing an authentic Kruger experience: early morning light over the savanna, the hush of a leopard on the move, a breeding herd of elephants at a riverbed, and quiet coffee stops in between. With a strong reputation for thoughtful hosting, detailed planning, and expert guiding, they have become a go to choice for travellers seeking private Kruger Park safaris from Hazyview and White River that feel both adventurous and remarkably stress free. ## Services & Specialties PK Safaris offers a range of private Kruger Park day safaris that depart primarily from Hazyview or Skukuza Camp. Guests can choose morning safaris, afternoon safaris, or full day game drives, with an experienced guide and a vehicle reserved exclusively for their group. Because there are no strangers on the vehicle, you have the freedom to decide how long to spend at a sighting, which routes to focus on, and what kind of wildlife or landscape photography you want to prioritise. The open safari vehicles are designed for comfort and visibility, which is especially important for photographers and first time safari guests. For those who want to immerse themselves more deeply in Kruger, PK Safaris runs multi day private safaris of 2 to 14 nights, staying inside the park at different rest camps. These longer tours allow you to explore both the central and southern regions of Kruger, giving you time to encounter a wide diversity of animals, birds, and habitats. Safari packages include options for solo travellers, couples, and small groups, with itineraries that can be fully tailor made. Many guests highlight how seamless the experience feels from arrival to departure, with guides handling the logistics so that you can focus on the bush. A standout speciality is their B1 Photo Safaris, created for wildlife photographers of all levels. These private wildlife photographic safaris are typically limited to a maximum of two photographers per vehicle, ensuring space for equipment and optimal shooting angles. Guests benefit from a “Bekker Wildlife” style masterclass in the field, learning practical techniques for camera settings, composition, and working with light, all guided by experienced wildlife photographers. PK Safaris also offers camera and lens rental, as well as Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon tours and private airport transfers to and from nearby airports like Skukuza and KMIA, making it easier to integrate a safari into your broader Mpumalanga itinerary. ## Why Choose PK Safaris - Truly private safaris: The vehicle is booked exclusively for your group, with no shared seating, allowing flexible timing, routes, and unhurried wildlife viewing.
