The Kruger region in the northeastern reaches of South Africais a sprawling, untamed area that’s rich with wildlife. The region encompasses the Kruger National Park (South Africa’s oldest and largest national park) and the adjacent Greater Kruger area, an amalgamation of private game reserves that collectively form a huge, protected conservation area. The landscapes here are awe-inspiring, with savannah grassland stretching as far as the eye can see, punctuated by meandering rivers and the towering peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains.
Visitors can expect extraordinary safari experiences, including the chance to encounter the Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos – in their natural habitat. Game drives and walking safaris will enable you to get up close and personal with Africa's most iconic creatures. But the adventure doesn't stop there. Take a hot air balloon ride over the wilderness at sunrise, delve into the local culture in nearby villages, and savour sundowners in the bushveld as the African sunset paints the horizon in hues of gold and orange.
