General information,...

As one of South Africa’s top attractions and a paradise for the wildlife enthusiast, the Kruger Park offers the visitor exciting opportunities to experience breathtaking encounters with Elephants, Lions, Buffalos, Rhinos and Leopards.

Almost as large as a small country like the Netherlands, Israel or Wales, the Park consists of 20,000 sq km of unspoiled pristine indigenous bushveld, sub-tropical lowveld vegetation, fertile valleys and terraced hills.

Plans are well under way to combine the Kruger Park with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique and the Gonarezhou National Park, Manjinji Pan Sanctuary and Malipati Safari Area in Zimbabwe, creating the world's biggest wildlife reserve, the giant 35,000 sq km across borders “Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park”.
