Kruger National Park is South Africa's flagship safari destination and one of Africa's largest game reserves. With exceptional wildlife diversity, excellent infrastructure, and options from self-drive to luxury lodges, Kruger offers something for every safari enthusiast.
Kruger National Park is Africa's most iconic safari destination, a wilderness the size of Israel where Big Five sightings are virtually guaranteed. Established in 1898, it is one of the world's oldest national parks and a testament to over a century of conservation achievement.
Big Five guaranteed
The park's infrastructure is unmatched in Africa. A network of rest camps, lodges, and bush camps caters to every budget and style. The extensive road system makes self-drive safaris not only possible but rewarding, allowing visitors the freedom to explore at their own pace, lingering at waterholes or racing to reported sightings.
Kruger's ecosystems shift as you travel from south to north. The south, with its granite hills and riverine forests, offers excellent leopard sightings. The central region's plains support large lion prides and buffalo herds. The north's mopane woodlands are elephant territory, with large breeding herds and ancient bulls wandering the sandveld.
For many, Kruger represents the first African safari�and often sparks a lifelong passion. Whether you're watching a leopard cache its kill in a marula tree, observing elephants at sunset at a waterhole, or simply absorbing the bush sounds from a campfire, Kruger delivers the quintessential African experience.
