• If your love for wildlife has taken you to South
  Africa for a Wildlife Kruger Park Safari, you are
  in for a safari of a lifetime. Home to some of
  the worlds largest animals like the ostrich, the
  bull elephant and the whale shark along with all
  the big 5, South Africa offers a wildlife treat
  like no other.
• So where exactly can you see wildlife during your
  wildlife safari? Well, you will find South
  Africas wildlife in an array of parks and
  reserves, among them the Kruger National Park
  that was established in 1898. This vast park is
  almost 5 million acres and it is an extraordinary
  sanctuary for an exceptional mix of animal and
  plant species. Adjacent to the famous Sabi Sand
  Reserve, it is South Africas oldest private
  reserve and a leading pioneer of sustainable
  tourism. The vast wilderness of it boasts of
  Africas highest leopard encounter count, which
  is no mean feat as the leopard is extremely
  elusive. Kruger Park is also Africas leader in
  cheetah, giraffe and zebra encounters. There is a
  huge variety of antelope in Kruger park tour and
  a whopping 500 plus bird species to sight.

• Sabi Sand is also a spectacular place in its own
  right. It boasts of some of the continents best
  and luxurious safari camps. Just across the River
  Limpopo, the Mashatu private wilderness reserve
  will offer you spectacular game viewing, with the
  inclusion of memorable night drives that will
  give you an opportunity to witness nocturnal
  hunting activity.
• South Africa has diverse geography that
  encompasses forests, deserts, mountains, coast
  and grasslands. All of this supports an
  extraordinary wildlife species. Kruger Park alone
  is home to 16 zones of vegetation that are fed by
  6 rivers. It doesnt take too much thinking to
  figure out that it is home to an extraordinary
  number of game as well. With 10,000 elephants,
  over 20,000 buffalo as well as endangered animal
  species like the white rhino, cheetah, lion and
  wild dog, it has a lot to offer the tourist. It
  isnt just Kruger Park that impresses- far from
  it. Sabi Sand, among other sanctuaries, is
  admired for quality leopard viewing.

• Kruger Park is not the only game park in South
  Africa though there are many others spread
  across the country. For instance, if you are
  visiting Eastern Cape, you still get to see just
  as much wildlife (including all the big 5) in
  many of the parks, which are all within easy
  reach.
