Greater Kruger
Stretching 360km from north to south, the Kruger National Park covers a diverse landscape, from undulating hills to lush plains, the foothills of the Lebombo Mountains in the east and the tree-lined banks of the Sabie River in the south.
Alongside the national park proper sits the Sabi Sands Reserve, famed for its high concentrations of lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and wild dog. As home to some of the most luxurious camps in Africa, the Greater Kruger is ideal for your first safari.
