WHAT AWAITS YOU IN THE KRUGER?

Kruger National Park was proclaimed in 1903. This allowed the park’s wildlife to not only breed, away from hunting, but also ensured the animals associate no fear with safari vehicles. This means unbelievable game viewing!

The Kruger is the largest reserve in South Africa and forms part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, which stretches over 35 000 square kilometres and encompasses three countries – South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

Visiting the Kruger means mornings and afternoons tracking Africa’s iconic wildlife and starlit nights around the fire listening to the sounds of the bush. Meet locals who have devoted their lives to the conservation of these wilderness spaces and are custodians of the incredible wildlife.
