<p><strong>A luxury safari in the Greater Kruger costs USD 1,500–3,500 per person per night</strong> at premium private-reserve lodges, with ultra-premium villas exceeding USD 5,000. The tier delivers private suites, exclusive vehicles, senior guide-tracker teams, off-road traversing, and inclusive fine dining. Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Thornybush and Klaserie hold most of the top operators within an hour of Hoedspruit.</p>
