General Information
|
Kruger National Park is famous for probably being the best managed wildlife (game) park in the world. Situated on the north-eastern border of South Africa, it was formed in 1898 and is just under 2 million hectares in size. It offers you the most spectacular array of wildlife ever seen.
The "Big Five" game namely: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo are regularly seen. Kruger has over 500 bird species, 147 mammal species, 7 major river systems and 35 different landscapes, from river forest to open dry savannah. It also interestingly, has over 300 archaeological sites of stone age man and signs of bushmen (San inhabitants) dating back to 1500 years ago.
Kruger Park is vast and boasts big herds of animals, for instance a herd of over 500 buffalo can be seen crossing in front of you. Kruger Park is natural, a landscape that has been untouched for centuries, for this reason game viewing is restricted to roads to keep this landscape unspoilt.
Sit back and experience the freedom of exploring this vast park teeming with wildlife in the comfort of our open vehicle with a knowledgeable, registered and friendly guide. Enjoy comfortable accommodation, good food, warm hospitality and the exceptional open vehicle experience.
