The Kruger Park is one of the largest game sanctuaries
in Africa and is still considered to be one of the world's foremost
wildlife reserves. It is immense, over 2,000 000-hectares and
naturally, has a tremendous botanic diversity.
This great park,
more than any other national park in Africa epitomises the mystery
and magic of nature in the wild. It's big, bold, beautiful and
full of amazing animals all living naturally.
Kruger Park is home to approximately 145 mammal
species including the famous collection of animals known and referred
to as the Big Five - Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo.
There is no 'best time' to visit Kruger Park.
It's just a great place to visit at any time of the year. There are
however two distinct seasons that could determine when you would
prefer to visit:-
Summer season (September - March) is the season
during which all the animals flourish because of the summer rains
- it's the time of plenty. As a result of the rains the park is
transformed into a green paradise. It's the time to enjoy beautiful
trees and flowers. Hundreds of Impala lambs are born; staple diet
of all the predators.
During the summer season you must be prepared
for average day temperatures of 32 C with maximum temperatures
reaching 40 C. The temperatures fall to around 20 C at night with
occasional thunderstorms.
Winter season (April - August) is the dry season.
Because it virtually doesn't rain in winter, the park is transformed
into a brown and almost barren landscape. The animals have to
concentrate at the perennial waterhole's and rivers. The grass
is low, the bushes and trees have lost their leaves. As a result
one can have an unobstructed view through the bush making the
game viewing much easier.
During the winter season you must be prepared
for temperatures dropping to 4 C at night with temperatures during
the day reaching a comfortable 24 C.
We know you will enjoy some of the best wildlife viewing available in the Kruger Park, no matter what time of the year. Every person
on one of our safari tours of Kruger Park will view large accumulations
of wildlife in their natural environment - Elephant, Buffalo,
Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Impala, Kudu and Waterbuck; just to
name a few common species.
