KrugerPark.com Reviews

The perfect place to come and spend time in beautiful scenery with a really good chance of seeing some amazing wildlife!

If you love the wild side of life then it's a must visit

It cannot be told but must be seen. Very beautifull.

Our Ablution block at Skukuza camp needs serious maintenance attention as well as there are only 3 showers and 1 bath room to accomdate all the people per campsite.

Amazing always makes me come back for aomething else

A must visit in a life time..... Bucket list material. It was wonderful and enjoyable

There's lot of Hospitality there and many lovely things. #KNP

The best big game park in the world. You're guaranteed to see lots even if just visiting for a day or two. Great roads, very reasonable food and souvenir prices.

Great place to unwind and relax. See nature as it should be.

Always good to visit the Kruger though it is becoming quite expensive.

Definitely worth the trip. It is not cheap but if you are in the area you should definitely plan a couple of days. The staff at the barriers was always very nice. Many jeep safaris start directly from the entrance. The streets are fast. Most importantly, never forget binoculars, best for each person. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat is breathtaking. It was a great experience.

The park is really a great experience to have had once

Sand roads very corrugated men's urinals at Lower Sabie need repairs otherwise the Kruger is a great place to visit

Its just amazing and give u time to be 1 with nature

Simply indescribable, the great animals so close ..

No Cat sighting; most of the trees on the path were burnt

Great experience for a beginner trying out safari. Will definitely recommend doing self drives!

Went north this time... best decision. No traffic. Stunning scenery and plenty of animals

Amazing as always. Park was clean. Not so busy. Gate guards checked everything properly and were ever so friendly and helpful. Really still an amazing place.

Amazing! This place is a must watch if you are wildlife lover. Serene beauty of nature and conserving the big 5 animal species in this park. Its a lifetime experience to watch out these species with young kids. Appreciate the South African Govt to conserve this place and all the efforts made. Truly, our next generations will cherish this for many many years...

Still the quietest place to vacation. Although very dry, many animals are still visible along the rivers and water pans

It's always a pleasure visiting the Kruger National Park

Its the closest contact with nature and its refreshing

I have visited the park a few times and every time it is very special You see so many animals and birds and it stays magical!

Amazing and amazing place to visit at least once in your life

Everything about nature, it's all natural, the wild animals especially the big five!

No matter whether with a guided tour or driving with your own car. Always keep your eyes open

Wow what a place to chill with family, great letaba,satari,and other caps.

It's a good place to visit when you want to enjoy the nature

A remarkeble place to see the wild side of our country. With no doubt, this place is the most pollutant-free area I've ever seen. Only green and blue dominates. The love these animal species show towards each other is way better than most people can give.

Letaba Rest camp had no water. Public toiletd were filthy. Food was good

We saw lots of animals. The problem around every single animal is 20 vehicles - very much toured

The Vista, Fauna and Flora are equal to non in Southern Africa.

Amazing!!! Service of excellence. Those trips to stay in memory and come back soon. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful photographic safari with diversity of animals in this ecological reserve

Unreal the wild life so mush to see, and every day is driffent

A fantastic family friendly Park!
A must visit for all South Africans as well as overseas visitors.
If you visit about four days there is a great chance you will see the Big Five and much more.
Camps and camping sites for all tastes and budgets.

Nice park. Most roads are made of asphalt and you can drive through them with your own car. Here we have been able to spot the entire big 5.

Need to see the big 5? Between driving your self or taking one of their tour guided trips during the day or night you have an amazing time and see loads of animals

(*Go to the bottom of my review for my personal list of animals that are more common to spot*)

The largest wildlife park in South Africa and hosts the big five here as well. I always enjoy the park when I get here.

A few important points (in my opinion):

1 - If you are someone who doesn't enjoy long drives, looking and waiting to see animals or enjoying landscapes, then you might not enjoy this.

2 - No, you are definitely not guaranteed to see 'the famous cats' (lions, leopards and cheetahs). In fact, you are extremely lucky if you do, which is part of the fun.

3 - Continuing on my second point, you aren't guaranteed to see anything, except Impalas (antelope), they are as common as grass. It also depends where you look in the park.

4 - If you are going to go to the park, take up a hobby that makes it more fun. E.g. photography, get a 'kruger passport' at any of their shops and collect the stamps at all the gates and camps or just even keeping track how many times you spot specific animals. All of these gives you a sense of achievement.

5 - For the best experience, sleep over in the park a few nights and make sure you leave as soon as the gates of the camps open up, preferably close to water holes as a lot of animals go to drink water then.

6 - My last point, the sightings are extremely luck based as well. If you drive through the entire park (which is extremely big) you will maybe have seen 10% of the park. Also timing is so important and difficult, you can't calculate it and depends on luck. Sometimes a Leopard is spotted for 10 seconds only, which means, if you left your camp 10 seconds early or late, you would miss it.

Once again, this list is personal opinion and would like if people give their comments on it. And I apologize if I forgot one or two animals

I never thought of living this experience. Superb and really five star park

What a nature we have..... I encourage my black brothers n sisters, know Ur land, know ur country n stop wasting your time watching TV.

Safari vehicles think Kruger belongs to them. They think that they' ve got the right of way. They don't stick to the rules, that's cleary printed in the admission forms issued at the entry gates. At one point on the Skukuza Lowe Sabie road they blocked all the traffic. We were stuck for almost an hour due to them parked three next to each other and traffic had to pass on the verge of the road. One operator told me to f.... off when I asked them to clear the road.

Nature at its best. However its a schlep to get in now with Covid regulations.
