The word safari conjures up images of wild Africa and ignites the spirit of adventure in travellers. South Africa boasts some of the world's finest wildlife reserves, and the jewel in the crown of these is the magnificent Kruger National Park.
In a nutshell
The world-renowned Kruger National Park has nearly 2 million hectares of unrivalled diversity of life. It was established to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld and offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. It is home to an impressive number of tree, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal species.
You can stay at one of our lodges near the town of Hazyview and pre-book game drives into the park or explore on your own. As well as Kruger, we also offer great wildlife viewing at the Sabi Sands.
