No crowded buses. No travelling with strangers. No trying to organise accommodation, transport, meals and activities from another country.
Just you, the people you choose to travel with, and a private South African journey planned for you.
Murwa creates private 7-day and 10-day Kruger National Park experiences with your accommodation, airport transfers, meals, local transport, planned activities and dedicated local guide brought together into one journey.
You've dreamed about seeing South Africa.
The wildlife. The open landscapes. The early morning drives. The sunsets. Kruger.
So why experience it packed into a tour bus with strangers, rushing from one stop to another because somebody else decided the schedule?
Murwa gives you another way.
A private journey. Your group. Your guide. Your South African experience.
Your people. Your journey. One dedicated point of contact from arrival to departure.
Planning an international trip can quickly become a second job.
We coordinate the important parts of your journey so you can concentrate on why you're coming to South Africa in the first place:
From your airport collection to your accommodation, meals, transport and planned activities, your journey is brought together with one dedicated point of contact.
Murwa was created because we saw too many travellers experiencing Kruger in large groups with limited freedom and rigid schedules.
We also saw travellers trying to navigate South Africa alone without the local knowledge and support they needed.
So we created something different.
You travel with the people you choose. You have one person to turn to throughout your journey. And instead of spending your holiday worrying about logistics, you get to experience South Africa.
“Come home with stories, not travel stress.”
MurwaA private South African journey for travellers who want the full experience without spending months planning it.
Slow down. See more. Stay longer.
Give yourself ten days to experience South Africa without rushing through the journey.
We'll coordinate the major parts of your private tour while you focus on enjoying it.
You land in South Africa.
Someone is expecting you. Your transport is arranged. Your accommodation is waiting. Your itinerary has been planned. You know who to contact.
Tomorrow morning, instead of checking maps, searching bookings and trying to work out what happens next...
That's the difference.
Your transport is arranged. Your accommodation is waiting. Your itinerary has been planned.
A private Murwa journey means:
Your partner. Your family. Your friends. The people you actually wanted to experience Africa with.
You're not one traveller in a large group competing for the guide's attention.
You won't be passed between a chain of people who don't know your preferences.
Tell us what matters to you and we'll use it to help shape your experience.
Depending on your selected itinerary, your Murwa experience includes:
Start your trip knowing someone is expecting you.
Your accommodation in and around the Kruger region forms part of your planned journey.
Your package clearly explains the meals and drinks included in your tour.
No trying to work out unfamiliar routes or transport systems on your own.
Travel with dedicated local guidance throughout your journey.
Your activities are coordinated as part of your itinerary.
Before you book, we'll explain what's included, what's excluded and what additional costs may apply.
You need to know: Who's meeting you? Where are you staying? Who do you call? What's included? What happens next?
That's why Murwa keeps things personal.
You have a dedicated point of contact rather than being passed around between different representatives. Your journey is discussed with you. Your inclusions are explained. And we're available to help guide you throughout your trip.
Murwa was founded by Ruan Nortje after repeatedly seeing two kinds of travellers in Kruger.
Those packed into large group tours with little control over their experience.
And those travelling alone, trying to navigate unfamiliar places without enough local support.
He believed there was a better middle ground:
Ruan holds a Professional Hunter qualification and brings familiarity with the South African bush environment to the Murwa experience.
His goal isn't simply to take guests from one place to another. It's to help them experience South Africa in a way they'll still be talking about when they're back home.
The person behind your journey.
Kruger National Park is home to some of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife.
No responsible safari operator can promise which wild animals you'll see on a particular day.
Every drive is different. Every sighting is earned. Every morning has the possibility of becoming the story you tell first when somebody asks:
Maybe you've dreamed about seeing elephants in the wild.
Maybe you're fascinated by the Big Five.
Maybe you're coming for photography. Birdlife. Landscapes. Adventure.
Or maybe you've simply always wanted to see Africa with your own eyes.
“Your people. Your journey. One dedicated point of contact from arrival to departure.”
Brand PromiseSend us your preferred dates, number of travellers and the tour you're interested in.
We learn about your preferences and what you want from your South African experience.
Your accommodation, transport, meals and planned activities are coordinated around your itinerary.
We'll arrange your collection and the journey begins.
Private transport, good stays, time outdoors and the moments between destinations are part of the Murwa experience too.
South Africa isn't something you fully understand from a photograph. You have to hear the bush wake up. See an elephant standing metres away. Watch the landscape change as the sun goes down. Feel just how big Africa really is.
And one day you'll either still be saying: “We should go.” Or you'll be telling somebody: “You have to go.”
Tell us when you want to travel and who you're bringing. We'll help you plan the rest.
