Things to See in Kruger National Park

  • Wildlife

    The obvious reason to visit Kruger National Park is to see amazing mega fauna in the wild. Thanks to decades of protection and tourism animal populations have increased in the area to a sustainable number. This is truly an illustration of conservation success, and proof that animals alive are worth more to a local economy than those dead/hunted.
  • Proximity

    Thanks to being only 250-miles from Johannesburg it is extremely easy to drive (about 4.5 hours) or take a short 45-min flight to the Kruger National Park area. On top of that, you are allowed to drive in the national park on your own to enjoy the animals at your own pace.
  • Conservancies

    While Kruger's wildlife is profound, the aforementioned self-driving freedoms of the park often mean increased traffic. In fact, it is rare to have a quality wildlife sighting without seeing other cars (even dozens) at the same viewing. Therefore, if you have a few extra dollars (or the local rand) to burn, consider staying at an adjacent conservancy where the amount of visitors are severely limited. Another benefit is they require a driver guide (which actually helps with nature interpretation and learning/finding more), and you'll be allowed to drive off-road so if there's a cheetah in the distance your guide can take you to it, no problem. Consider the Sabi Sands area which shares a border with Kruger and while the government sees borders, wildlife doesn't. Which means phenomenal animal viewing without the people.

When to Visit Kruger National Park

  • Winter is also considered dry season in Kruger and occurs from May - August. Temperatures are an average in the high 60's and rain is highly unlikely.
  • Summer is November - February with temperatures in the mid 80's. This is also considered the wet season averaging about 3in per month in precipitation.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

This was one of our favorite experiences on the trip. Kensington Market is an incredible neighborhood with a vibrant culture. We had a LOT of food on this tour. If you're thinking this will be sample size HAHA you're wrong.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
