Kruger Accommodation

The Kruger National Park is definitely one of the best safari destinations in Africa and is situated in the north eastern corner of South Africa and borders the countries of Mozambique and Zimbabwe. This world renowned conservation park covers an area of 21,497sq km (8,384 sq miles) of about the same size as Israel. Kruger national Park boasts an incredible diversity in wildlife that includes over 140 mammals, 500 rare bird species, and 114 reptiles, 48 of fish, 33 amphibians and 23 000 plant species. This magical land fulfils every tourists dreams of seeing herds of game moving through the savannah and it is the home of Africa’s Big Five ( buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard and lion ).

For the more adventurous the most exciting way to see the animals is on a foot safari through the wilderness trails. Game viewing in the Park is best done in the early morning and late afternoon when the temperature is cooler. Animals just like humans do not like the heat and tend to hide out in the thick bush during the day and then become active as the temperature decreases.
The game drives here are all conducted by professional game rangers and South Africa Tour operators who track the animals in 4WD vehicles.
Best Time to Visit
The Park looks amazing after the summer rains when the bush becomes green and lush, attracting all the various types of antelope in search of new grazing grounds, and this increase in grazers obviously attracts lion, leopard and many other carnivores.
Summer time also attracts several migratory birds proudly displaying their brightly coloured breeding time plumage. Winter time is dry and this forces most animals to remain under cover and only close to waterholes and rivers. Foliage is scarce. This does not present a good touring time.

Staying in Kruger National Park or one of the surrounding private game reserves is ideal during a visit to South Africa. The safari and game lodges range from artistically elegant to super luxurious with en-suite bathroom facilities. The expert game rangers whisk you off on game drives and walking safaris, tracking the wildlife in their natural habitat.
