Introduction To Kruger National Park safari.

Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the World, conserving nature since 1926. Not only is it the biggest, Kruger National Park is also the most iconic game reserve in Africa. Kruger Park covers an astonishing 2.1 million hectares, stretched across 2 of South Africa’s 9 provinces; namely Limpopo and Mpumalanga.

To the North, we have the Limpopo River, and to the South, we have the Crocodile River. To the east of Kruger National Park. we have the Lebombo Mountain range which separates Kruger from Mozambique. The Western border runs parallel to the park stretching around 65km’s. The highest point of Kruger National Park is in the east, 840m above sea level. This hill is known as Khandzalive.

Weather in Kruger National Park.

The climate of the Kruger National Park is subtropical, meaning summer days are often very hot with temperatures reaching 38 degrees Celsius. Kruger’s rainy season falls from September to May. It is said that winter is the best time to join a Kruger National Park safari for various reasons. Viewing wildlife is more rewarding as the vegetation is sparser and animals are drawn to the waterholes to drink every morning and evening.
