The Kruger Park as a premier wildlife destination

• The Kruger Park is one of the largest game
  reserves in the world and is a sought after
  location, for locals and international tourists
  alike. It attracts over one million visitors each
  year and is nearly the same size as the country
  of Israel. No matter which season you choose to
  visit, you can be sure that you will have the
  experience of a lifetime.
• In addition to the numerous animals, birds,
  insects and plant life, there are over 255
  archaeological sites and ruins through the Kruger
  Park. The most significant ruinscan be found at
  Thulamela and Masorini. These date back to the
  Stone and Iron Age, and research has shown that
  prehistoric man(Homo Erectus) lived in the area
  around 500 000 years ago.

• There are 125 San Rock Art sites, with cultural
  artifacts and other archeological treasures from
  100 000 to 30 000 years ago. The Masorini ruins
  have been reconstructed so that visitors can
  visualise what it once looked like in the 1800s.
  This is when it was inhabited by the
  BaPhalaborwa people in the late iron age.
• If you choose to go on a Kruger Park tour or
  safari, you will have the opportunity of seeing
  over 500 species of birds, 147 mammals and 110
  reptile species. There are, of course, thousands
  of insects to encounter as well, and many of them
  are far more beautiful than scary!
• Your guide will be able to share vast knowledge
  of the animals, including their behaviour, how to
  track them, what they eat, as well as how likely
  you are to find them. For example, in the entire
  19 485 square kilometres that makes up the Kruger
  Park, there are only 150 individual wild dogs,
  and the same number of cheetah.

• Your tour guide will also share his/her
  incredible insight into the various trees,
  grasses and plants in the Kruger Park Safari.
  This will include telling you about which animals
  eat the different types of foliage, as well as
  their medicinal uses, and where different species
  grow in the various environments in the reserve.
• The rich biodiversity is one that cant be
  matched, and the Kruger National Park is truly
  one of South Africas jewels. You can choose to
  have a basic, yet authentic, African experience
  by camping in a tent, or go all-out with a
  luxurious private lodge. You might want to fry
  your own eggs and bacon in the morning on your
  gas weber, or perhaps you prefer to have your
  breakfast made for you by an African chef.
  Either way, you can be sure that this premier
  location will reveal to you why its so highly
  esteemed
