King Lion is watching you
In the far north east of South Africa, lies the famous
Kruger National Park, framed by glorious sunshine, glowing sunsets and a glittering canopy of blazing
stars.
It is known as Africa’s leading wildlife reserve in terms of size and animal diversity, ranking
amongst the finest game sanctuaries in the world.

As one of South Africa’s top attractions and a paradise for the wildlife enthusiast, the Kruger National
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.
With an average width of 60km it stretches north for almost 400km from its southern boundary the
Crocodile river, all along the Lebombo mountains which form the national border with Mozambique in the
east, to its northern boundary, the Limpopo river, which is South Africa’s national border with Zimbabwe.
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”.
The Kruger National Park has a number of rest camps providing accommodation to visitors. These are the
only places in the park where visitors are allowed to leave the safety of their vehicle.
The type of accommodation offered is in the form of Chalets, Cottages, Bungalows, Tents, Camping
sites, Bushveld camps, Bush lodges and Safari lodges, varying in price and style from rustic to luxurious.
Next to accommodation, the major rest camps also offer facilities such as a Supermarket, Cafeteria and/or
Restaurant, Petrol station, ATM banking, Public telephones, Laundry service, designated Picnic area,
Communal kitchen, Ablution facilities, a Swimming pool and Pharmaceutical and Medical services.
