In the heart of the Lowveld, stretching for 352 kilometers from north to south along the Mozambique border, one of the world’s foremost national parks can be found. This is the Kruger National Park, a wildlife sanctuary larger in area than Israel. Covering 19,624 square kilometers and averaging 60 kilometers in width, Kruger provides a refuge for 147 mammal species, 500 species of birds, 116 reptiles, 34 amphibians, 49 fishes, 457 types of trees and shrubs,  1,500 smaller plants, and countless insects.

Each year approximately 950,000 people visit the Kruger Park, and half of them stay overnight in the 26 rest camps that range from the intimate 19-bed Malelane, bordering the Crocodile River in the extreme south, to historic Punda Maria in the far north. South Africans account for 80 per cent of all visitors, and for many a visit to Kruger has become a kind of spiritual pilgrimage.

An entire subculture of devotees has developed over the past 70 years around the unpredictability of wildlife viewing, the apparent endlessness of the wilderness and the Park’s unique atmosphere. And it is these ardent supporters who are the Park’s greatest defenders. Kruger epitomizes for many the rejuvenating and healing qualities of Nature, allowing its visitors to escape the increasing pressures of modern urban life and the Information Age.

For visitors from the UK, travelling around the Park is an amazing experience. The ‘not-knowing what’s around the corner’ excitement is exhilarating. Whether you go into the park for a day or for three or four, you will definitely come out feeling that something inside you has changed!
