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.

The Big Five in Abundance and so much more!

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.

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.

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

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.
