Why the Greater Kruger?

The Greater Kruger offers a captivating blend of wildlife, natural beauty, and luxury safari experiences. It's an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts, wildlife photographers, and those seeking an immersive and unforgettable African safari adventure. It is a vast wilderness area located in north-eastern South Africa, encompassing the world-renowned Kruger National Park and several adjacent private game reserves and concessions. 

The Kruger National Park is one of Africa's largest and most iconic game reserves, covering an area of approximately 19,485 square km. It is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five. The park offers self-drive options for visitors, as well as guided game drives and bush walks led by experienced rangers.

The Greater Kruger is surrounded by private game reserves and concessions that share unfenced boundaries with the Kruger National Park. All offer exceptional safari experiences and morning and afternoon game drives are offered on some of them. Private reserves have the advantage of fewer vehicles, allowing for a more secluded and authentic wildlife encounter. They also offer night drives and walking safaris, which are not permitted in the Kruger National Park.

The Greater Kruger offers a variety of safari experiences to suit different preferences. Guided game drives are the most common way to explore the wilderness, with experienced guides and trackers leading you in search of wildlife sightings. Game drives take place in open 4x4 vehicles, providing excellent visibility and photographic opportunities. Bush walks, led by armed rangers, offer an intimate and immersive experience where you can learn about animal tracks, plants, and the finer details of the ecosystem.

Conservation is a primary focus in the Greater Kruger. Many private reserves and lodges actively contribute to conservation initiatives, including anti-poaching efforts, wildlife research, and community development projects. By visiting the Greater Kruger and supporting these responsible operators, you are indirectly contributing to the protection and preservation of the region's biodiversity.
