Know before you go

  • Kruger National Park, located in northeastern South Africa, is one of Africa's largest game reserves, spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometres.
  • It is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich history. Established in 1898, the park is home to the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo, as well as hundreds of other mammal, bird, and plant species.
  • Kruger National Park is a year-round destination, but the dry winter months from May to September are considered the best time for game viewing. During this period, the sparse vegetation makes it easier to spot animals, and they tend to congregate around water sources.
