About Greater Kruger

The Greater Kruger is a 180,000-hectare mosaic of private reserves (Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Klaserie, Balule and others) whose fences with the Kruger National Park came down decades ago. Wildlife moves freely; what changes is the experience: expert guide-and-tracker teams, off-road approaches to leopards, night drives and bush walks, with strict limits on vehicles at any sighting. This is where South Africa's most celebrated Big Five viewing and its finest lodges meet.
