Kruger National Park

Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the Lowveld, this two million hectare park, is unrivalled in its diversity of life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental manage-ment techniques and policies. The flagship of the South African National Parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from Bushman rock art to archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park.

These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Park and are conserved along with its natural assets. 12 Fenced main camps, 4 satellite camps, 5 bush camps and 2 bush lodges. All accommodation units are self-catering and serviced daily. Bedding, towels and soap are provided. There are also 7 luxury concession lodges where catering and activities are included. Kruger now forms part of the Transfrontier conservation initiative, the Great Limpopo Park, that is focusing on creating a seamless, fenceless conservation wilderness merging vast tracts of land in Zimbabwe and Mozambique with Kruger, to form the world's largest conservation area.
