Kruger National Park

Few people who visit South Africa leave without visiting Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa.

The park is home to an amazing number of species: 507 birds, 336 trees, 147 mammals, 114 reptiles, 49 fish, and 34 amphibians. Additionally, there are more than 200 cultural heritage sites throughout the park, including ancient rock art sites.

No safari is complete without seeing the “Big 5,” the five most exciting animals to see while on safari: elephants, black and white rhinos, leopards, lions, and cape buffaloes.
