Kruger National Park

Kruger Wildlife

Kruger National Park offers exceptional wildlife viewing, featuring all the major safari animals, including the Big Five. The park boasts a healthy population of big cats, with lions being particularly common. Elephants and buffalo are widespread, while white rhinos, though still numerous, face threats from poaching. Additionally, Kruger NP is home to a diverse range of antelope, such as the greater kudu and the abundant impala.

Scenery

Kruger’s primary habitat is woodland savannah, featuring relatively dense vegetation, especially during the Wet season. The gently rolling landscape reaches its highest point at Khandzalive (839m) in the southwest. A scenic highlight is Olifants Camp, perched high on a bluff with stunning views of the Olifants River. Notable trees include the baobab in the tropical north and the striking yellow fever tree near water sources.

Best Time To Visit

The Dry season (May to September) is often considered the best time to visit Kruger. With clear skies, optimal wildlife viewing, and fewer crowds, it’s an ideal time for exploring the park, especially in the busy southern regions. However, if birdwatching is your passion, plan your trip during the Wet season (October to April) when numerous migratory birds arrive, creating a birdwatcher’s paradise.

    Weather & Climate

    Kruger experiences a hot, tropical summer from October to April, which is when the park receives most of its annual rainfall and frequent afternoon storms. The milder winter, from May to September, offers a more comfortable climate for visitors, though nights can be quite chilly.
