User Reviews of Kruger National Park (406 Reviews)

Kruger National Park have a great wildlife range and the place is huge, the animals in this place have a lot of freedom because it's so big and while you travel there you don't see any parts of the fence which give you a better touch of nature. If you go off the paved roads you will have much better feelings of nature and unlike other parks you will not need 4X4 to enjoy this version of nature.

In Kruger you can see a lot of animals and better chance for the great golden animal, the Lion, when I came into the park the first time after 10 minuets I saw 3 Lions together. Very nice in Kruger is the shelters for people to watch birds and other "little" animals including Hippopotamus.

The main problem in Kruger because the famous of the park and because the great things in this park is that if you see something spectacular normally you will find your self with another couple of cars around you. And as much as you go north there is less cars if

you want to get a way from them.

If I look overall on my visits in Kruger park I don't think the problem with the other people is a very big deal because you get a lot there.

I spent about three days driving through Kruger National Park on a tour bus as part of a University class trip. I loved that each night we stayed at another one of the campgrounds and we stayed in various types of camping cabin conditions from a nice cabin with a loft to permanent tents to little round huts with just beds.

The wildlife was not always abundant, but I liked the experience of looking for the wildlife and the excitement of seeing it. From the tour bus we saw a several of the Big Five during our trip including elephants, wild buffalo, and lions. I was among the few that decided to take an early morning safari on our last morning and we got to see our only rhino. Best of all we got to see a leopard in a tree right off the road, so we ended up seeing all of the Big Five during our trip. While it can be hard to see all of the Big Five in Kruger, the trip was great even before we lucked out and saw all of the Big Five on our last morning.

is beautiful and somewhat varied as you drive through the different parts of Kruger National Park.

I enjoyed that we took it slow getting to the campgrounds by mid afternoon and having the evening to relax. There was often still wildlife spotting opportunities at the campground including one that overlooked a large clearing. I enjoy identifying different bird species every morning while most were still sleeping using the little wildlife guidebook I picked up at the first gift shop we stopped at in Kruger. Most of the campgrounds had nice pools to swim in and cool off.
