General Kruger National Park Information
The Kruger National Park is the jewel of South Africa's safari destinations. The park stretches some 400km from north to south along Mozambique's eastern border, making it the largest game reserve in South Africa.
As one of the world's iconic game reserves, the Kruger National Park boasts the highest number of mammal species (147 species) of any game park in all Africa. These animals are found in a variety of extremely different ecosystems.
Kruger National Park Wildlife
Whether it's the lions that roared in your bedtime stories or the cartoon elephants that flew across your childhood movie screens, the Kruger National Park is home to everyone's favourite animals...for real.
The combined wilderness areas of the Kruger Private Reserves are also home to abundant wildlife and birdlife.
Technically, there are larger populations of wildlife within the boundaries of the Kruger National Park, but as most of the private reserves are unfenced, the animals have access in and out of the park proper.
The Kruger National Park is filled with a wide variety of wildlife, with nearly 150 species of mammals that are commonly sighted by the park's visitors.
Private Game Parks of the Kruger National Park
Visitors are often confused by the terminology used to describe the Kruger National Park and its neighbouring areas.
The Kruger National Park is basically the area that falls under the control of the South African government, with its clearly defined borders and fences and an extensive network of tarred and dirt roads. Along the park's western border, a large number of privately owned reserves have been established.
Although technically not part of the park, most of these private reserves share an unfenced border with the Kruger PArk, allowing free movement of animals in and out of the territories. These reserves are tailored to offer their guests a superb safari experience with accommodation that's the last word in luxury.
