Discover Kruger National Park
Where nearly 2 million hectares of breathtaking wildlife and deep cultural history come together, you’ll find the true spirit of South Africa. The world-famous Kruger National Park offers one of the most extraordinary safari adventures anywhere on the continent—an experience that invites you to come find your joy in nature.
Explore the Heart of South Africa’s Wilderness
As the flagship of South Africa’s national parks, Kruger is vast, beautiful, and one of the most visited public game reserves in the world. It is a destination where travellers from all over come to reconnect with nature, seek adventure, and witness wildlife in its purest form.
When people imagine a South African safari, Kruger National Park is often the first place that comes to mind. Here, the iconic Big Five roam freely, hundreds of bird species fill the skies, and ancient trees shade winding rivers. With a variety of accommodation options—from family-friendly rest camps to luxurious private lodges—Kruger is a one-stop destination for unforgettable wildlife experiences.
Where Nature, Wildlife, and Adventure Meet
Imagine waking with the rising African sun, driving out of your camp with anticipation building, eyes scanning the bush for a lion on the move, a leopard draped across a branch, or a herd of elephants quietly starting their day. These magical moments remind you why a South African safari is unlike anything else—and why so many travelers return to come find their joy here.
Visitors can explore Kruger in their own vehicles, book guided drives, or relax in exclusive private lodges. The park offers 12 main rest camps, 5 bushveld camps, 2 bush lodges, and 4 satellite camps, giving every explorer the perfect base for their adventure.
Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the Lowveld, Kruger now stands as one of the greatest conservation areas in Africa. It is home to remarkable biodiversity: 336 tree species, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds, and 147 mammals. The park continues to lead in environmental management and sustainable tourism, preserving its natural heritage for generations to come.
Kruger is also rich in cultural history. Visitors can explore ancient bushman rock art, as well as archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela—powerful reminders of how people and nature have coexisted here for centuries.
Whether you're seeking close-up wildlife encounters, a soul-stirring safari adventure, or a place to reconnect and find your joy, Kruger National Park is the beating heart of South Africa’s wild beauty.
