Stretching over more than two million hectares, the famous Kruger National Park is one of the world’s largest game reserves and a truly remarkable destination. Owing to its exceptional size, visitors are able to experience fantastic diversity – from changing scenery and ecosystems to an impressive array of animals, plant life and birdlife. The park is home to over 130 mammals and over 500 bird species. Visitors can look forward to learning about the area’s prehistoric past, enjoying a host of accommodation options, and viewing abundant wildlife including the famed Big Five. The diversity and sheer density of wildlife make Kruger National Park an unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Clustered along the western edge of Inhaca Island, the village of Inhaca takes its name from Tsonga chief Nhaca, a local leader famed for sheltering shipwrecked Portuguese sailors centuries ago, and now functions as the island’s bustling heart. Its centre hums with a small market, general dealers, lively bars, and simple eateries where fresh local seafood is served. At low tide, families wade into tidal flats to gather shellfish while colourful fishing dhows rest on sandy shores nearby. From here, local guides organise snorkelling and scuba diving trips to reefs like Coral Gardens and Santa Maria Wall, where underwater gardens teem with marine life. Elevated guesthouses overlook the shore to the south, contrasting with campsites near the runway to the north. Functioning as the practical base for exploring the island, Inhaca connects visitors to beaches, forests, and mangroves through walking trails, tuk-tuk routes, and boat trips.
