OVERVIEW
Kruger is a vast protected savanna region in north eastern South Africa, with rivers, woodland and open plains supporting a remarkable range of wildlife. Roads, camps and waterholes are spread across several distinct ecological zones. Wildlife habitats sits alongside woodland, placing the principal sights within a broader inhabited landscape. The transition between river and rivers is visible across the destination, especially away from its best known centre.
Game drives can be rewarding throughout the year, although animal movement changes with rainfall and water availability. Longer stays allow visitors to explore beyond the busiest southern routes. Careful wildlife etiquette and patience are essential around crowded sightings and waterholes. Rivers draws most attention, but woodland contributes equally to the destination’s character and daily life.

THINGS TO DO
Trace Kruger’s historic sites
Use Kruger’s historic sites to understand a specific part of Kruger’s past rather than viewing it without context. Allow time for interpretation, not only the most photographed exterior.
Drive Kruger’s scenic roads
Build a manageable drive through Kruger’s scenic roads, allowing for stops and slower roads. In a destination as spread out as Kruger, choose a route that works from your base.
Road Trips
Half or full day
Take a game drive in Kruger
Take a guided game drive in Kruger’s principal game-viewing area, using local expertise to understand habitats and animal behaviour. Wildlife moves freely, so no species or sighting should be guaranteed.
