Kruger National Park Tours

About Kruger National Park Tours

As one of the largest game reserves on the African continent, the Kruger National Park is also one of the top tourist attractions in the world. And tours of the Kruger Park are excellent ways to experience the very best of South African fauna and flora. World-class safaris are on offer, giving visitors from all over the world the opportunity to see some incredible wildlife within its natural habitat. Some of these animals include the Big Five (elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard), as well as hyena, jackal, giraffe, zebra, and cheetah.

Did you know? Less than 10% of the Kruger National Park is accessible by cars and 4 x 4 vehicles. So, guided walking tours of the park offer safari experiences of a different kind.

Guided safaris are the best way to see the most animals and the greatest variety. This is because experienced guides can track certain animals, know their favourite spots, and sometimes even communicate with game rangers on the ground to find the most popular species.

Many of the game tours are conducted in open vehicles so that the visitors can get the best view of the animals as they graze, stalk their prey, or cool down at the watering holes. Game drives are conducted all through the day, but those in the early morning and evening reveal a completely different assortment of animals, as they emerge from their sleep and begin their search for food.

There are a number of trails through the park, and experienced guides will reveal some of the prettiest and wildest parts of the reserve. These walks will allow visitors to follow the tracks and droppings of the animals, get up close to a number of species (always exercising all of the safety precautions), smell the earthy ground, and feel the warm sunshine. Some of the walking trails take several days to complete, with overnight accommodation along the way. This is a very special, utterly unforgettable way to experience the Kruger.

Going on these kinds of tours through the Kruger National Park is all about the wildlife. More than the usual predators and prey, which are always highlights, the Kruger National Park is also home to a stunning variety of bird species.

Just some of the most exciting of these include the fish eagle, bat hawk, Bateleur eagle, lappet-faced vulture, black-headed oriole, brown-headed parrot, Caspian tern, crowned cormorant, eagle owl, Kori bustard, and African hawk-eagle. Self-guided bird-watching tours are so rewarding for avid birders.

Going on tours of the Kruger National Park promises life-long memories of South Africa and its magnificent wildlife.
