General

The world renowned Kruger National Park covers nearly 2 million hectares of diverse ecosystems. Offering you a unique wildlife experience Kruger is the flagship of the South African national parks, and home to an impressive number of species and home to the Big Five! Also on offer is 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals as well as offering you a collection of bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites.

The region of Kruger North extends from the Shingwedzi to the Limpopo rivers. The northern area of Kruger is the least occupied and driest part of the park and is very different to the rest of Kruger. Despite the low rainfall making this part 'less desirable' to game, there is still a good population of antelope, sable and eland. The wild dog has a strong population in the north due to the small presence of lion.

The Limpopo National Park also falls under this area and forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park which at 35,000 sq km, is roughly the size of Belgium. It's the largest transfrontier park in South Africa and one of the largest parks in the world.
