THE GREATER

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

At over 2 million hectares, the Kruger National Park is the oldest and biggest national park in South Africa and offers an incredible safari experience that is not to be missed! The park is made up of diverse habitats and is home to lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, hyena, cheetah and many more, as well as over 500 bird species. A visit to South Africa is not complete without a trip to the Kruger National Park, or the surrounding private reserves that border Kruger.

Various luxury and budget lodges can be found in the park where wildlife viewing takes place from open safari vehicles and an experienced guide will ensure that he gets you close to some of the continent’s best wildlife sightings!

Kruger’s Private Reserves

There are no fences between the several private reserves bordering Kruger and the national park itself, so wildlife roams free, and these reserves offer some of the best (and most reliable) wildlife encounters on the continent! Most of these reserves offer a more luxurious, private safari experience with fewer people and fewer vehicles. The Sabi Sands is well-known as an ultra-luxury reserve with some of the best leopard sightings in Africa. Enjoy off-road driving (prohibited in the national park), sunset drinks in the bush, and at most camps and lodges wildlife can be seen directly from your room’s private deck! Walking safaris or specialist birding trails with your expert guide are also highly recommended in the area.

BLYDE RIVER CANYON

An hour from the Kruger National Park you’ll find the third deepest canyon in the world – the Blyde River Canyon. The canyon shows off spectacular geological structures and incredible scenery. The popular “Panorama Route” winds along the edge of the canyon allowing you to take in all the sights.

Walks, hikes, and boat trips up the Blyde River are all on offer in this magnificent landscape.

We can easily build in a Blyde River Canyon trip onto any Kruger safari. It’s even close enough for a day trip if you need a break from the excitement of your safari!
