I would not say Kruger is particularly beautiful, it's very scrubby which makes the prolific wildlife often difficult to see. Perhaps the North is more scenic. Bush vibe hindered by tar raods and the self drive aspect, but this also makes the park very economical to visit. Saw some good birds, especially around Berg En Dal.

Kruger is an excellent place to view the bush from your car. Obviously, this takes away from the authenticity and vibe of the experience and is comparable to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. However, Kruger is a great place to view game (although you often have to train your eyes for hours on the bush to see anything) and to get a quick taste of South African wildlife. Birding is somewhat difficult because you will be confined to roads.

A great place to view game, but as it's a national park there are many regulations that don't allow one to see everything.

Kruger National Park is massive, beautiful and diverse. The accommodation can be anything from a tent to a 5* resort. The Game lodges like Lion Sands allow you to see and learn about the animals but the Kruger gives you the respect for just how rare some of the animals are and how lucky you were to see them.

Kruger is amazing but you're stuck to the roads. For a more entrenched experience, try visiting Sabi Sands.

Huge and majestic, with a variety of landscapes and vegetation and abundant wildlife. A very popular destination, so you are seldom alone close to dams, wells or open savana. It is better where vegetation is thicker, or in the less accessible north section, but the chance of spotting animals is limited. Accomodations are for all sakes and pockets

everything in its natural habitat, and though we certainly saw other vehicles, there was not a sense of crowds. We stayed at Kruger in Skukuza Rest Camp right in the park. Down the way, we walked to listen to the hippos every evening and enjoyed camp meals each morning and night. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was greeting the fuchsia sun each morning with the giraffes and seeing it set tangerine against the acacia trees at dusk. Because we were in Kruger in July, it was cool and dry. The animals were fairly easy to find, but of course, there probably weren't as many as the wet season. Over all, it was a spectacular trip and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

We had a great experience in Kruger, especially due to our oustanding guide, Simon. We stayed in the rondavels in Skukuza, which were very clean and comfortable. Skukuza camp has everything you need and is very pleasant.
