About Kruger National Park
The Kruger National Park is Africa's most famous game reserve for good reason: nearly two million hectares, the size of a small country, holding the Big Five, 500 bird species and more mammal species than any other African park, all served by an infrastructure that makes safari effortless. Explore it two ways: the classic national park of rest camps and dawn gates, or the unfenced private reserves of the Greater Kruger (Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Thornybush) where expert trackers follow leopards off-road and sundowners end the day in the bush. Most Gosheni South Africa journeys combine Kruger with the Panorama Route's canyon views next door.
