At more than 2 million hectares, the Kruger National Park is one of the world’s largest game reserves and a truly remarkable destination. Kruger Park is the size of Israel and slightly smaller than Belgium.
The Kruger National Park is in northeastern South Africa. Its high density of wild animals includes the Big 5: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos. Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, as do diverse bird species such as vultures, eagles and storks. Mountains, bush plains and tropical forests are all part of the landscape.
Because of its exceptional size you can experience amazing diversity – from the scenery and ecosystems to the vast array of animals, trees and birds. A trip to the Kruger National Park is an unforgettable experience, with over 1800 kilometers of well maintained roads and 21 rest camps. (ITT)
