The Kruger National Park, South Africa

Without doubt the most mythical animal park in Africa and because of its size, equivalent to that of Israel, is the number one animal attraction in Southern Africa. Protected since 1898, the national park is one of the largest nature reserves on the continent with 7,800 sq mi and more than 1,550 miles of roads and tracks. Flora and fauna are everywhere in abundance, including 507 varieties of birds. You can also see all of the so-called 'Big Five'. Be patient if you want to see them all...
The southern part of the park remains the most frequented area. The Sabie River and a wetter climate have helped to nurture a denser population of animals.
People who like to sleep in late should abstain! It is with the sunrise that animals start moving around. Around 9:00 am, only the cheetahs continue to sleep, while other big cats disappear into the scenery.

Visit The Kruger National Park

• To see

  In the north-east, between the mountain massif of Drakensberg and the border with Mozambique, is the vast open space of the Kruger National Park. Established in 1889, this nature reserve was to provide a place of ultimate refuge for many species threatened with extinction due to ruthless hunting. Since then, the park has largely lived up to its promises and currently it is inhabited by more animal species than in any other park in Africa. Easily accessible through a network of roads, with asphalt and numerous places of residence, the park attracts up to 900,000 visitors a year. An attendance certainly impressive, but whose impact on the environment remains limited because of legislation and strict control.
