Kruger Safari 2
From river flats to dense Mopane forests and high mountains the scenery is breathtaking. Staying at simple medium class rest camps within the National Park and travelling in open four wheel drive vehicles there is no better way to see Kruger!
Our opinion
The Kruger National Park is a diverse haven for an amazing variety of animals.
