Originally created in 1898 to control hunting, this iconic national park has been welcoming wildlife enthusiasts ever since. We feature a lodge within the reserve which has its own private concession; so you will not see vehicles from other lodges during game drives; however, the area is so vast that ‘Big Five’ sightings will be less frequent than in Sabi Sands. Direct flights link Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport with Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Livingstone.
