For anyone who has not been to the Kruger National Park you are doing yourself an injustice. Such and amazing and unique piece of paradise. It will capture your heart. So many amazing rest camps to choose from. My favorite camp is Shingwedzi. The north is a lot less busy then the South. So sightings feel more personal. Put KNP on your bucket list.
It was very quiet and it was very difficult to see the animals as the bushes are very big.
Unbelievable to see these creatures up close and personal.
I liked this place because of it's climate and exposure to wildlife
Great and wonderful place to unwind and be part of nature.
I do not understand why this park is so famous ..! It is too big so sometimes you have to drive 30 minutes to see 1 animal, and when you see one it is far.
We have largely preferred the Pilanesberg Park which is already quite large and where we cross a lot of animals near the roadside (elephants, rhino, giraffes, impala, warthogs ...)
The Kruger Park is very expensive (744 Rands for 2 people) compared to the Pilanesberg Park (250 Rands for 2).
I have never seen so many buffaloes on one trip. Awesome lion sightings too!
Without a doubt the cheapest and do-it-yourself way to see the big five. Admission is approximately R350 for entry with your own car, if you have the chance take a nearby accommodation for a few nights and go for at least 3 full days. Drive around with your car or take the organized tours (the tours can be inside at wider times). You will have the chance to see many species of animals of all kinds. The best ones are the male lions and the leopards (if we had seen them). I recommend spending R85 for the paper guide at the gate entrance.
Just been working there at Skhukhuza really didn't get time to go around viewing the place
Always lovely and exciting to be in the kruger
Seen lions and hyhena
Just loved the atmosphere and to spend the time in the bush
I loved it ... I'll be back soon, it's just worth visiting this wonderful place.
Kruger Park is deteriorating every time I visit. Shower door faling of in Orpen camp. Ordinary taps at mens cisterns at Lower Sabie. Wrong shower taps at Orpen with holes in walls. Pillow case torn in Skukuza. Tindlovhu not bad food, but very pricey, also out of stock on various items at afsaal, Satara, Olifants and Tshokwane. Mug and bean and Cattle Baron tops as always. Can see management is not capable of handling such a big task as to run the Park and different divisions. Bring back people with management skills.
We are from the north (Punda Maria camp) the first camp set up 100 years ago. Drove south. Not on the asphalt road, but on the other roads. Very nice. The Kruger Park has been in existence for 100 years this year. We have seen many animals.
It's a very good place to go for a slow drive while seeing the beauty of nature as an extra!!
Went from Phalaborwa gate through Letaba and Mopani gates very few sightings. Disappointed
If you go to South Africa, it's inevitable. You can log in with your own car.
General condition of the park is fair.Some of the older camps in need of sprucing up.Main roads tarred and good condition.Sand roads need some. maintenance.
Here you take a step back in time to the tranquility of the world at Creation.
The Kruger Park will rejuvenate and refresh you.
If you take your time and drive slowly with your eyes out for any slight movement, I promise it will be really worth it.
A unique experience for anyone visiting for the first time. Large diversity of animals and bird species, ensures exciting viewing particularly if you spot something yourself.
The park is well maintained and it is so amazing, as always, to see animals in their natural environment.
Was decent experience but could have been made better if the guys on site were organised. Also at the end of the day they tried charging us extra saying we hadn't paid!
Always an experience that words can not describe. Just to be there in nature and see al that God has created. Love this place.
It remains one of the best destinations in the country. Lovely to experience nature up close.
Skukuza the largest of the parks with gas station very good restaurants medical shop excellent sauna
What an amazing national park, not possible to see lion or Chita , but you can see a big range of animals in their real world. It was definitely worth!
We saw lots of animals (the bush is very dry, which helps) 3 leopards, rhinos , elephents a pride of lions from a distance and many others.
Loads of impalas, water bucks and elephants
Most likely will see Giraffes, zebras, loads of buffalos, and tutrles
Not likely to see rhinos or cheetahs
Lions are mainly found under trees and around watering holes
Best to bring binoculars
Available viewing spots
Camps within Kruger are available
Lots of animal crossings
Wow.... We saw all the big 5 this is a big place about 350km North to South and 90km East to West
The best safari ever. Its an unforgettable day in my life . So much things to learn about the wild life. had a great experience.
Huge, amazing place.
Just do the game drive.
If in South Africa and you have more than 3 days, a tour to the Kruger is one you will always remember. This is a classic Kruger tour and the experience on an open vehicle safari is an amazing experience. Each camp has its own identity and feel to it and the chalets are 2 to 3 star but are kept quite clean and most are self catering. some units are more upmarket and have views over a river. The restaurants such as Cattle Baron, Tindlovu and Mug & Bean are great but it is also nice to make your own braai (barbecue) in front of your chalet. So, if you want to see some of the big 5 and other animal such as zebra and giraffe, the Kruger is the place to go. This is my happy place and I spend many hours behind an OSV steering searching for my animals.
The best 8hours ever spent in a car....privileged to have seen elephants, bushbucks, hyenas, giraffe, zebras, waterbuck, buffalo, hippos, kudus, monkeys, impalas, hornbills, marabus, warthogs and untouched nature. We were also blown away by the lovely Cattle Baron restaurant's scrumptious food, lovely view and great service from our waiter Bheki. We will be back soon.
Nice place to have a vacation with family and friends
The beauty of the
nature
It is a place to be seen if you have not been there, the stops are very neat and clean places to see and nice places to relax for a week or weekend.
So much to see too little time. The sighting of elephant herds was my highlight. I still need to go back there and finish of what I started because this time I didn't have enough time.
Excellent. Bring cash. Card machines subject to available reception in the area. Expensive if you don't have the Wildcard.
Park is awesome. Can't really say much more than that. It speaks for itself
Really depends on where you go and who you'll bump into. Because it's open to the general public you have the unfortunate chance of meeting people who are not as into nature as you would expect of national park visitors who litter, hog the road and disobey park rules.
The roads in most cases are fantastic and mostly well maintained and the concept is amazing. Perhaps better to schedule a longer trip to the further northern sectors where there are fewer people.
If you are visiting SA the park is a must. One if the most beautiful spots in our country. Always promising magical encounters with nature. Never disappoints
