many wildlife reserves and offers animal viewing that ranks with the best in Africa.
The park, established in 1898, covers nearly 2 million hectares and is home to
an impressive diversity of flora and fauna, including
507 different birds and 147 types of mammal.
Kruger Park is mainly a self-drive destination with accommodation options that include chalets, cottages,
bungalows, tents, caravan and camp sites or bushveld camps, bush lodges and private safari lodges.
