Location: The Kruger National Park is South Africa's flagship wildlife reserve and offers a safari and
game-viewing experience that ranks with the best in Africa.
Established in 1898, the park covers nearly 2 million hectares and hosts a huge diversity of birds, mammals and reptiles.
In addition to the "Big Five" - elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino - there are also large numbers of giraffe,
zebra, wildebeest, hippo, antelope, and hyena. Less common but also seen by visitors on safari are cheetah and wild dog.
Accommodation options include chalets, cottages, bungalows, tents, caravan and camp sites, bush
lodges and luxury safari lodges.
