Kruger National Park

One of Africa's largest game reserves at 1.9 million hectares, Kruger National Park is South Africa's premier wildlife destination and home to the iconic Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. The park hosts approximately 1.8 million visitors per year, which is 80% more than the runner-up, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, and contains over 500 bird species, 50% more than the average South African park, along with 147 mammal species and 114 reptile species across nine distinct ecosystems.
