Kruger National Park, South Africa

South Africa's world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.

The Park was established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld. This natural park of nearly 2 million hectares, is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies.
Truly the flagship of South African national parks, Kruger Park is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman (San) cave rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets. Accommodation is available in a variety of units in large restcamps, bushveld camps and bush lodges. Caravan and camp sites are available in most of the large restcamps. Most camps have well stocked shops where food, drinks, general necessities and curios may be purchased.

The Kruger Park forms an integral part of the majority of our tours that we conduct in Southern Africa!

In addition to the abovementioned, the Kruger National Park will eventually form part of the great LIMPOPO TRANSFRONTIER PARK, a joint venture between South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. When established the tourist will be able to experience the entire Park within the confines of the Park's borders. This innovative first phase of the venture will increase the total Park area to approximately 35,000km², eventually increasing to a staggering 100,000km² of conservation area. This entire process will however still require a number of years to complete.
