Kruger seemed a lot like Yellowstone National Park in the States...a lot of people, and it was very crowded even though we were not in the peak time.

We saw less animals comparing to Tanzania Parks, we have been in november and are too many bushes, the animals hide better.

Kruger is way too big for encountering wild animals
The Kruger National Park is incredibly vast, which can make wildlife spotting more challenging. A better option, in my experience, is visiting private game parks. These parks are smaller, and the staff typically have a deeper understanding of the animals’ locations, making it easier to see them up close and enjoy more intimate encounters.
One thing I didn’t enjoy about Kruger was the extensive burned areas. I was informed that the vegetation is intentionally burned to increase animal visibility for tourists, but it felt unnatural and detracted from the experience. Additionally, because of the park's massive size, tour guides often seem rushed, giving you less time to take photographs and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.
