Wildlife

The Kruger National Park is one of the premier game-watching destinations in the world. Approximately 145 mammal species occur in the park
It is possible to see all the classical African big game, including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, warthog and many antelope species.

Large carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena. There are also many smaller mammals equally enticing species

For those interested in viewing the "Big Five”, the Kruger National Park has an estimated 1,500 lion, 12,000 elephant, 2,500 buffalo, 1,000 leopards and 5,000 rhino (black and white).

As are the bird-species, with the Bateleur as probably the most handsome of the birds of prey, and the Martial Eagle a common sight, even though it prefers more mountainous areas.
Kruger has a list of over 500 species, some of which are not to be found elsewhere in South Africa.

The only way you can experience the magnificence of the Kruger Park is to come and experience it for yourself, and while you're at it, experience this country with its unique peoples, heritage and beauty - a world in one country
