The Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa, here in stunning South Africa. It covers 18,989 square kilometers (7,332 sq miles) and extends 360 kilometers (220 miles) from north to south and 65 kilometers (40 miles) from east to west.

To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a Peace Park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.

Much of the Kruger Park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, an area designated by the United Nations Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere").

All the Big Five game animals (African Elephant, Rhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, Lion and Leopard) are found at Kruger National Park, which has more species of mammals than any other African Game Reserve (147 species). On a normal visit to the Park, expect to see Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Impala, Waterbuck, Wildebeest, Hippo. And then your Guide's skill (and your luck) both come in: the cats - Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Civet, African Lynx; the other big predators - Spotted and Brown Hyena, Jackal, Wild Dogs (African Painted Wolves), an array of Vultures, the Secretary Bird.

There are also 517 species of birds found at Kruger: 253 are residents, 117 non-breeding migrants, and 147 nomads. An ornithologist's paradise, particularly if you go to our favourite area, the far north. Kruger also houses 114 species of reptile, including 3,000 Crocodiles and local specials such as the Black Mamba.

Our Safaris are all arranged privately, or you can join a group for certain of them if you prefer e.g., Workshops. A few are limited to fixed or seasonal departure dates: these are indicated in the details. Where road transport is called for, you can usually self-drive (we can include a rental vehicle if you wish) but we typically organise chauffeured transfers to suit. Lodges are fully-staffed, including local Guides for game drives and walks. All are fully-catered (unless indicated otherwise). We arrange domestic flights, both scheduled and chartered, in order to dovetail into your itinerary. And we can provide one of our excellent specialist Guides to join you throughout the Safari if you wish. We work with you to use the itineraries as a starting point to design something that really matches your expectations.
