Wildlife of the Kruger National Park
In terms of wildlife, Kruger National Park is one of the world’s greatest national parks. In addition to the Big 5, the diversity, density and sheer numbers of animals are almost unparalleled in the park and surrounding Game Reserves. All of Africa’s iconic safari species live out their dramatic days here, along with a supporting cast of 137 other mammals and over 500 varieties of birds. The only way you can experience the magnificence of the Kruger Park is to come and experience it for yourself.
The best time for game viewing in Kruger Park is during the dry months of June to September when the vegetation is less thick. August to September is a recommended time as temperatures are higher than in mid-winter and the animals are concentrated around water sources making for excellent game viewing.
