Kruger National Park
The Kruger National Park is South Africa's oldest, largest and
best-known wildlife conservation area, home to a huge variety of
wildlife and most famous for its 'Big Five' viewing opportunities.
Visitors have an excellent chance of seeing lion, elephant,
leopard, buffalo and rhino among the enormous variety of wildlife,
including over 140 species of mammals, 500 species of birds,
reptiles and amphibians. Situated on South Africa's north eastern
border, Kruger is a primary destination for international tourists,
and is visited by more than half a million local and international
people every year who are attracted by the different safari options
as well as the park's excellent range of visitor facilities and
choice of accommodation, from luxurious game lodges to cottages and
camping. Because of the park's popularity, it is advised to book
ahead for both day visits and extended stays. Bookings can be made
through the park's website.
