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.

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.
