With almost five million acres of land packed with wildlife of every shape and size, the Kruger National Park is an essential visit for any traveller to South Africa. Originally established to protect the flora and fauna of the South African Lowveld, the sheer range and scale of the wildlife rivals anywhere else in Africa.
Safari lodges are available for rental near the sleepy town of Hazyview, and from here game drives into the park can be booked, unless you would rather strike out on your own.There are abundant opportunities to view the amazing marine wildlife at the Sabi Sands.

• Enjoy walking safaris, complete with Bush picnics.
• Look for the “Big Five” at night, with a nocturnal game drive.
