Location: The Kruger National Park, South Africa's flagship wildlife reserve, was established in 1898. The park 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.

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.

Kruger Park is mainly a self-drive destination with a good infrastructure of roads, waterholes, picnic sites, and restcamps. Accommodation options are extensive and range from chalets and cottages to camping and luxury lodges.
