Discover Kruger Park Safaris with Nhongo Safaris

Embark on a journey through one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, Kruger National Park, the crown jewel of Kruger Park Safaris. Spanning over 19,000 square kilometers, this legendary wildlife haven stretches across South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, offering an awe-inspiring natural escape filled with Big Five sightings and rich biodiversity.

At the heart of the park lies Skukuza, the administrative hub and gateway to thrilling wildlife experiences. Bordered by the Limpopo River to the north, the Crocodile River to the south, the dramatic Lebombo Mountains to the east, and the landscapes of Mpumalanga and Limpopo to the west, Kruger is a dream destination for safari-goers and nature lovers alike.

The roots of Kruger Park Safaris date back to 1898, when the area was first protected as the Sabi Game Reserve. In 1902, legendary warden James Stevenson-Hamilton took the reins. By 1926, multiple reserves were merged to form the official Kruger National Park.

Tourism blossomed in the 1920s with the famous "Round in Nine" rail excursions. Over the decades, conservation efforts such as fencing and rewilding ensured the park’s protection and sustainability. The Makuleke region in the north, reclaimed in 1996, is now a beacon of community-driven eco-tourism.

Today, Kruger stands at the heart of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, connecting Zimbabwe’s Gonarezhou National Park and Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park. It’s also part of the UNESCO-designated Kruger to Canyons Biosphere.

Discover the Best Safari Experience in Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is one of the most renowned safari destinations in South Africa, offering visitors an unparalleled wildlife experience. Whether you're looking for a luxury safari, a budget-tented safari, or a private safari, Kruger Park has something for everyone. This guide will take you through everything you need to know about Kruger Park safaris, including safari packages, the best areas in the park, and what to expect from your safari adventure. If you're planning a trip to Kruger National Park, this article is a must-read!

Kruger National Park, located in the north-east of South Africa, is one of the most famous safari destinations in the world. It stretches across vast landscapes, offering visitors a diverse range of wildlife encounters. The park became a protected area in 1898 and has since grown to become a top safari destination, attracting tourists from all over the globe.

Visitors to the Kruger National Park can expect an unforgettable safari experience, complete with breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and an abundance of wildlife. It is home to the Big Five, lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo making it a prime location for park safaris.

The best time to visit Kruger depends on what you want to experience. The dry season (May to September) is the best time for game viewing, as animals gather around waterholes, making them easier to spot. The wet season (October to April) transforms the park into a lush green paradise, perfect for birdwatching and scenic photography.

If you're planning a safari trip, knowing the best time to visit Kruger is crucial to getting the most out of your adventure.

Kruger National Park offers a range of safari experiences tailored to different budgets and preferences. Visitors can choose from:

  • Guided Kruger Park safaris: Led by expert guides who know the best areas in the park.
  • Private safaris: More exclusive and personalized experiences with private game drives.
  • Budget-tented safari: A more affordable option for travelers looking for a rustic African safari experience.

Kruger National Park is divided into several regions, each offering unique landscapes and wildlife encounters. The northern region of the park is known for its fewer tourists and stunning scenery, while the southern region is famous for its high concentration of animals. Visitors can explore different areas of the park to experience its diversity.

Game drives are a highlight of any safari in Kruger. You'll have the chance to see the Big Five, as well as a variety of other species in the Kruger National Park. Morning and evening game drives provide different perspectives of the park, with expert guides helping you spot elusive wildlife.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, walking safaris in Kruger Park allow you to explore the park on foot with expert guides. This offers a different perspective from traditional game drives and allows you to get closer to nature.

Walking safaris can be enjoyed in different ways, 

  • Going on scheduled morning or afternoon walk, which is three to four hours in duration, and is guided by well trained and knowledgeable guides.
  • The other way, is with a guided walking safari over a three or four day period, staying over in unfenced camps in rustic accommodation, which is guided by trained and knowledgeable trails guides. The late afternoon is enjoyed aboard a national park open safari vehicle, doing a three to four hour game drive.

There are multiple ways to reach Kruger National Park, including driving from Johannesburg or flying into Kruger International Airport. The park has several entry points, making it accessible for travelers coming from different parts of South Africa.

Kruger National Park is part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, which includes Limpopo National Park in Mozambique and Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. Safari packages and tours often extend beyond Kruger, offering a broader African safari experience.

We had a fantastic time on our 3-day Budget Kruger safari with Nhongo Safaris. My wife was a bit apprehensive doing a budget safari, as she was not sure of the accommodation. But she really enjoyed it, even saying she would like to come back and do it again.Gift was our guide, and he was fantastic and so knowledgeable. The drives were very informative, with great sightings being experienced. All in all, it was a fantastic time.
