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.

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 where you want to be if you're hoping to see the "Big 5" in South Africa.

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.

Overpopulated by tourists with so few restrictions on numbers at any one site. No off road drives. Not able to get up close and personal to game as at Idube

Of course one of our favorites. The south gives you much opportunity to see the big five. There are many roads were you won't see many other cars. There are varying landscapes and especially the Luvuvhu river we would recommend.

Kruger is top class but gets a lot of people visiting. The facilities are excellent (almost too good).

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.
