Kruger National Park, South Africa

Kruger National Park, South Africa’s largest wildlife reserve, is said to contain more mammal species than any other in Africa, and sports a wide variety of birds, fish, reptiles, and vegetation as well. Spread over parts of two provinces, it numbers more than 7,500 square miles and is a must-see on any trip to South Africa. Stride makes it easy to find the safari that will show you all the bounties that Kruger has to offer.

Top Kruger National Park, South Africa Experiences

  • Spotting the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and Cape buffalo.
  • Checking off other species: Kruger is home to 147 different mammals, 507 types of birds, 49 species of fish, 36 amphibians and 114 varieties of reptiles.
  • Scanning the skies for the “birding big six”: ground hornbill, kori bustard, lappet-faced vulture, martial eagle, pel’s fishing owl and saddle-bill stork.
  • Keeping a close eye out for the park’s cleverly named “Little Five:” buffalo weaver, elephant shrew, leopard tortoise, ant lion and rhino beetle.
  • Learning to identify Kruger’s five main tree species: baobab, fever tree, knob thorn, marula, and mopane.
  • Visiting the Letaba Elephant Hall, to learn about elephants and view the ivory tusks of six of the “Magnificent Seven,” so-called because they were among the park’s largest bull elephants.
  • Touring the park’s archaeological sites, including the remains of two 19th-century Portuguese trading posts, and the ruins of a stone citadel that dates back to 1250 AD.
  • Taking a drive along the waterfall-and-mountain laden Panorama route, with a foray through the Blyde River Canyon, one of the largest and deepest on earth.

Seeing wide dogs in Kruger Park was incredible, as was the 5 hippos strolling through town in St Lucia while we were at a restaurant having dinner.
