Description of the attraction
The largest nature reserve in South Africa, the Kruger National Park, which covers almost 2 million hectares, is located in two provinces - Mpumalanga and Limpopo, in the north of South Africa, south of Zimbabwe and west of Mozambique. Currently, this reserve is part of the Great Limpopo Border Park. Upon completion of the Greater Limpopo Biosphere Reserve project, the park will cover 35,000 square kilometers, 58% of its territory will be located in South Africa, 24% in the Republic of Mozambique and 18% in Zimbabwe.
This is the land of baobabs, stunted marula and mopane trees, in the shade of which rhinos, elephants, leopards, zebras, antelopes, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, turtles, anteaters like to hide. The Kruger Park is one of the favorite spots for bird watchers. On its territory, you can observe bustards, African eared vultures, striped owls and storks. The park is home to more mammal species than any other South African reserve. A large number of hippos and crocodiles live in its rivers, and forest antelope, buffaloes and Kudu antelope concentrate near their shores.
The Kruger Park has a large number of recreation centers with picnic areas and specialized observation points for wildlife during the day and night. Visitors to the park can take part in a safari (guided off-road vehicle ride) or a bush walk (walking in the morning or afternoon with tracking a rhino, elephant and lion on foot accompanied by a guide). The bush walk can last up to four hours. It is advisable for her to bring sunscreen with her.
Not so long ago, the South African government allowed private tour operators to lease areas of parkland where recreation centers such as Sabi Sands and Timbavati were installed. They offer incredible luxury, superbly organized safari excursions and, if desired, freedom of movement in most of the parkland. The most famous of these luxury private camps, Buhala Game Lodge is located on the banks of the famous Crocodile River.
