About Kruger National Park
When considered as part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, Kruger is one of the world’s largest national parks with nine gates allowing entry. In the park, the area around the Crocodile River is recognised as the best viewing place for Africa’s ‘Big Five’; lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhino. The abundance of water that flows through the Crocodile River and its neighbour, the Sabie River means that year round, the viewing is unbeatable.



At the Crocodile River it’s possible to walk with an armed guide to the river’s edge to watch the crocodiles and hippos feeding. If you want to see the parts of the park that stretch over into Mozambique or Zimbabwe, you’ll need to cross the borders and will have to go through checkpoints. When you enter and leave the park you should expect to have your vehicle searched as the park takes the threat of poaching very seriously.

Another good place to visit within the park is the Blyde River Canyon which is the world’s third biggest after the Grand Canyon and the Fish River Canyon in Namibia. Part of the Great Rift Valley, there are waterfalls, lakes and unusual geological formations worth visiting, including the Three Sisters viewpoint. Within the park there are a number of hotels and lodges offering five star accommodation and many are situated close to great viewing areas and supply guides should you wish to get a closer look. It’s possible to hike through parts of the reserve but you should take an experienced guide and be wary of encounters with the animals.
