Kruger National Park Holidays

Along with adjoining private reserves such as the Sabi Sands, Kruger National Park holidays offer some of the best game viewing in what is one of Africa's largest game reserves. With ideal habitats such as baobab tree-dotted plains in the north and rolling hills to the south, all of the 'big five' - lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and rhinos - are present, as well as dozens of species of plains game and several hundred different bird species. Together with neighbouring parks in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, the Kruger National Park and private reserves form part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, with a combined area the size of Portugal. On your Kruger National Park holiday, make sure to visit the Blyde River Canyon, the third largest canyon on the planet and the fracture that separates the Highveld (high plateau) and Lowveld (lowland). Make sure to peer down at the river some 2,200ft below. Then take a dip in one of the region’s many natural pools, scented by orange and tea plantations. Explore by 4x4, on foot, by mountain bike or canoe. Read more
