Holidays to the Kruger National Park

Holidays to the Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is one of South Africa's most biologically diverse parks and one of the world's most game reserves. Spot lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and rhino that make up the Big Five, along with hundreds of other mammals, birds and reptiles. As Kruger is a self-drive park, you can choose to explore the 18,989 square kilometres at your own pace or join a guided game drive. Holidays to Kruger National Park can be enjoyed all year round, but if you want the best chance of seeing wildlife, visit during winter or in late November/early December when you can see baby animals. There is a variety of exceptional lodges located throughout the park, offering everything from romantic tented camps to luxurious bush getaways. With fine cuisine and excellent service, you'll really get the royal treatment on luxury Kruger National Park holidays.

Travel Tips & Advice for Kruger National Park

Kruger Park Activities


Kruger National Park offers an accessible, wildlife-filled adventure for safari veterans and first-timers with a range of safaris to suit your needs. Make the most of your Kruger National Park holiday by opting for a safari in one of the park's private reserves, such as Thornybush or Sabi Sands for exceptional wildlife, low visitor numbers and fantastic leopard sightings.

Kruger Park Food & Drink


Enjoy a mix of flavours stemming from the region's diverse heritage. The tasty local dishes are meat-heavy and feature chicken, springbok, warthog and ostrich, cooked traditionally on a braai. Don't miss South Africa's national dish, bobotie, or the fresh local seafood. Other local favourites include the sweet curry dishes influenced by Cape Town's Cape Malay cuisine and the spicy Indian-influenced dishes stemming from Durban's Indian population, such as Bunny Chow.

Kruger Park Attractions


Although you could spend your entire holiday exploring Kruger National Park on safari or tracking game on foot with a local ranger, there is much more to see and do during your stay in this remarkable region. Why not combine your safari adventure with a few days in one of South Africa's famous cities? Experience the country's history in Johannesburg's culturally rich museums or relax on some of Cape Town's beautiful beaches.
