Location
This safari will take place in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The Kruger National Park is located in the low veld in the north eastern region of South Africa and spans across two provinces - the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces. It is not only the largest national game reserve in South Africa, it is also the most prestigious and impressive. This world-renowned park occupies an area of around two million hectares or 20,000 square kilometers and is home to a large variety of fauna and flora.
The Kruger Park boasts the richest assortment of life forms in Southern Africa and as such offers one of the best safari and game viewing experiences possible. The park is about 360 kilometers long from north to south and about 65 kilometers wide from east to west and about the same size as Wales. The Kruger was formally proclaimed a national park in 1926 and today it forms part of the Great Limpopo Frontier Park.
This massive peace park links the Kruger with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. Zimbabwe lies to the North and Mozambique to the East of the Kruger Park. The Kruger Park is famous for its abundant wildlife and it is also a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques. Several rivers flow through the Kruger in an easterly direction, including the Sabie, Olifants, Crocodile, Letaba, Luvuvhu and Limpopo Rivers. It is about four and a half hours drive from Johannesburg to the southern part of the Kruger.
