If you have done Greater Kruger before, 2027 is a very good year to go back. Ulusaba reopens after a full rebuild, new tented camps arrive in the Manyeleti and Thornybush, and the camps that opened in 2026 settle into their first full season. Here is every new South African safari stay worth knowing about.
