Live life Live free Live Africa!
I was touring KNP park with a safari company from Hoedspruit, SA. The KNP employees I encountered were dressed in a professional manner and were very courteous. The transportation was in an open vehicle which enabled multiple views for picture taking. The weather was over cast on this trip but I have been to KNP several times and every trip is unique. I have witnessed many animal encounters to include the BIG 5, plains games & the infamous wild dogs. Birding is phenomenal even had sightings of the Gound Horn Bill.
If you want an experience that alters your life try South Africa, because after that experience nothing else has ever been the same.

Incredible experience without walls or cages!
The location was outstanding with an abundance of animals roaming freely. Stopping next to a group of 5 male lions with in 3 meters in an open vehicle, was sensational. Campground was fine and our guide was outstanding. He prepared most of our meals, which were delicious and we only had one meal at the park restaurant. In addition to knowing where to find animals, he recapped the history of the Boer War which was fascinating. He was a true "renaissance" man. I want to come back!

Great accessible and affordable wildlife viewing

is quite amazing (cold drinks, charging station and a toilet!) and puts you up higher for better viewing. If you want to see Kruger up close and not spend a fortune, this is absolutely the way to do it!

Wonderful nature
Kruger Park has plenty of wildlife, and it's amazing and exciting to go finding it on your own in your car if you want. I would definitely go back to Kruger Park, it has been a wonderful experience.

A wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.
The Kruger National Park is a wildlife sanctuary to an amazing number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. We have had the privilege to seeing all the big five (Lion, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Buffalo and Leopard) in matter of 1.5 hours during many safaris in the Sabi Sands Private Reserves. We also find this area of Kruger National very handy because of its close proximity to the big cities of Johannesburg, the Sun City Resort and the beautiful city of Capetown.

My most memorable experience
We had a fantastic five days safari, where we were fortunate to see the Big Five / Magnificent Seven plus the small five. Our guides also gave us a cultural experience by the trails throughout the park & we visited the museum at Skukuza which was very interesting & we could appreciate how the park had developed.The guides we had were extremely knowledgable, not only on the Big Five but the birds & flora, they were passionate about Kruger and made us feel most welcome. We were fortunate to stay in three different camps and had our own chef & guide through tout the time. All had very good accommodation with good amenities. We really can't wait to visit again & explore other areas of Kruger.

This Park puts your world and your place in it, in perspective.
I love this Park and the way it is managed. I have lived on 4 different continents, and experienced many scenarios in my lifetime, but I keep returning to Kruger. It puts my life into another perspective.

Best Park in Africa
Kruger has everything you need for your wildlife experience. The overnight Huts are perfect to stay in for a few days and you get to see every animal you can imagine. Go in the winter months so there's less green on the trees and more room to see everything.

It was an excellent trip, the best that my wife and I went on.
The trip was made pleasurable as we were ferried about by our guide Bernhard Bekker and he was very knowledgeable and showed us the big 5 in day! We saw lots of impala, elephants,birds and giraffe.The park looked well taken care of and the scenery was excellent! Our guide was kind enough to take us to the Kruger gate where we had coffee with the elephants and buffalo.

Outstanding accomadations and wildlife viewing.
The rooms were separate from the lodge. There was a lake in front of the room with lots of hippos. They made fun noises at night. The dining was outside in a covered area next to the lake. Food was excellent and made to order at each meal. Good wine.
The excursions were exciting and we saw wildlife every trip. We saw everything we wanted up close and personal.
We even had a surprise dinner around a large campfire in the bush one night. Gave us a feel for the bush after dark. I would recommend the lodge and park to anyone wanting to go on safari.
