Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is South Africa‘s flagship game reserve for an African safari.  You will be hard pressed to find better game viewing anywhere in the world.  Feel free to try if you like!  Located in the northeastern corner of South Africa, Kruger is roughly the size of Slovenia at 19,500 sq kilometers (12,000 sq miles).  With size like this, you can imagine the abundance and variety of wildlife that lives here.  It’s incredible!  Not only the Big 5 but antelope, zebra, wild dogs, baboon, warthog, birds, hippo, giraffe…I could go on and on.  There are many game reserves within and along the borders of Kruger but there are no fences between them.  This allows the animals to roam freely across the Kruger landscape.  Only humans are subject to roaming restrictions.  Thankfully, wildlife is well protected here thanks to the crucial anti-poaching unit. 

When visiting Kruger National Park you have the option of staying at a modest bungalow or camp and driving yourself in your own car on your own safari, or you can stay at a private game reserve or concession and have an experienced guide take you on safari.  Because of its popularity, Kruger can get crowded, kind of like Europe in summer.  It gets flooded with tourists on self-drive safaris, and usually, most people don’t have the knowledge or expertise of an experienced guide so things can get a little hectic sometimes.  Here’s why it is recommended to stay at a private game reserve or private concession rather than doing a self-drive safari.
