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.
