Highlights

Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s largest and oldest national parks, spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometres and was established in 1898.

The park offers exceptional opportunities to see the Big Five, including rare white and black rhinos and African wild dogs and cheetahs.

With over 517 bird species recorded, Kruger is a haven for birdwatchers, featuring rarities like the Southern Ground Hornbill and Pel’s Fishing Owl.

Visitors can enjoy the exclusive luxury at private concessions.

Kruger uniquely preserves cultural heritage with sites like Thulamela Hill and Masorini Village, adding historical depth to its natural wonders.

What Wildlife is in Kruger National Park?

Kruger is a Big Five safari destination, so you’ll likely have sightings of rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, lions, and leopards. Wild dogs (although rare), cheetahs, and hyenas are also found here, as well as hippos and giraffes. For birders, over 500 species of birds inhabit the park, including 50 migratory species.

When to Go

The best time to visit Kruger National Park is during the dry season from May to September. This time of year sees little to no rain, so animals gather around remaining water sources, making game drives eventful. October to April – the wet summer season – is ideal for birdwatching safaris as migratory birds fly into the park
