About Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa is one of the world’s greatest conservation sanctuaries. Established in 1898 and covering nearly two million hectares (an area the size of Israel or Wales), Kruger protects an unparalleled diversity of African wildlife within a pristine mosaic of granite kopjes, mopane woodlands, riverine forests, and open savannah plains.

Unrivaled Biodiversity & The Big Five

Kruger is home to an astonishing concentration of fauna, including 147 mammal species, over 500 bird species, and 114 reptile species. The park provides one of Africa’s premier settings for observing the complete Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo):

  • Lions & Leopards: With over 1,500 wild lions and one of the dense leopard populations in southern Africa, predator sightings along the Sabi and Crocodile rivers are extraordinary.
  • Elephants & Buffalos: Large breeding herds roam freely across vast migration corridors connecting with neighboring Mozambique and Zimbabwe within the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park.
  • Endangered Species: Crucial sanctuary for African wild dogs, cheetahs, ground hornbills, and both black and white rhinos.

Accessibility & Safari Experiences

Kruger offers exceptional safari diversity, catering to self-drive adventurers utilizing well-maintained road networks and rest camps, as well as discerning luxury travelers staying in exclusive private concessions that provide open 4x4 game drives, night spotlight safaris, and guided bush walks with armed rangers.
