we recently met a South African man at an Outdoor show on Vancouver Island who organizes customized tours, either escorted or independent for a wide variety of budgets. He seemed very knowledgeable

For Kruger, you can easily rent a car and book accommodation in the park for your own self drive safari simlar to our National Parks in Canada. Most accommodations in the park also have ranger led safaris once or twice a day that you can join.

I just got back from a trip to Tanzania that we booked through Safari Partners. We were also extremely happy with them. They were very helpful.

We booked with Elephant Plains (the lodge name) and they were amazing! We also booked Tusk Photos and they had a photographer with us so if you are a photo geek that may work for you too.

We went about 10 years ago and booked everything ourselves. Kruger accommodations through South Africa National Parks and the rest through expedia mainly (accommodations and car rental), in country flights with South Africa Airlines. We spent a week at Kruger, a week around Port Elizabeth and another week driving along the coast and spending a few days in Cape Town. Lots of tips from the South Africans I work with and had no issues getting around at that time. A lot depends on what you're comfortable with.

Rent a 4x4 vehicle and drive to a private reserve on the west side of Kruger. Then drive yourself in Kruger. Make sure you get a Kruger map and guide book and read up (watch videos) on elephant behaviour. Book Kruger accommodations on SanParks.
