Write a User ReviewI have only been there on a day-trip, but even then I still saw a leopard, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, countless antelope and wonderful birds. It really does deserve its reputation as one of the best holiday destinations in South Africa.

Can be good for big cats. Accommodation middling (in some camps it's disappointingly 'basic'). Apart from some minor quibbles, however, it's especially fascinating to drive around if you start early - say 4.30am - 5.00am.

Largest of our game parks and again during the peak season it can get a bit busy.
Best time to visit I have found was during August - September time and I have spotted plenty of game during this time.

When I visited Kruger it was rather dry... and therefore brown and dusty...

Despite the crowds in certain areas (particularly around the larger rest stops like Skukuza) and the limitation to the roads, Kruger offers an amazing array of animals and great access to them. Talk to other travelers about locations for animal watching. Drive yourself through part of the park - there's a unique value to spotting that lion yourself.
Huge park with much variation. Lots to see if you are in the right part at the right time and a lot of camps to choose from or tour between.

Satisfying
Nice park, but can be very crowded in the south part. If you want more tranquility go half way or up north. Because of the asfalt roads you might have some trouble getting the real bush feeling, even if you do the gravel roads. Even these are easy traveling with any car. But overall still a must visit when you are in Africa. Don't bother doing the safari tours, you can do it all by your self in your own car. Spend your money on safaris in private game reserves.

Fantastic.Game is full up in the park
It is South Africa's most popular park to visit.The weather is nice all year round making it very popular and making it the best game park in RSA if not the world .Game is plentiful in the park and making it possible to see the Big 5.Time is needed if one is really to enjoy beauty of the scenery,there is just too much to see.The park also offers night drives which is an awesome experience on its own.The park on a whole is well maintained.The accommodation and catering is of high standard.
