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.

OK, I was a tourist but in Krüger I felt like a tourist, a longer stay, which I could no way afford, far to pricey!! may have changed my view but I doubt it.
Huge variety of birds and animals, stunning scenery, fairly high level of hospitality.

I will just explain why I only gave a "good" to bush vibe: too many people in the park who behave like idiots: fast driving, loud music, no respect for animals. It is still a great place and we particularly enjoyed a night at Sable hide which I would recommend to anyone who wants to know what bush experience means.
