Bounded by the Crocodile River in the south and the Sabie River in the north, the Southern Region is reported to have the highest concentration of game in the Kruger Park. The large quantity of sweet grasses and abundant browsing trees found in this area attract large groups of antelope, giraffe, buffalo, zebra and wildebeest - a perfect feeding ground for the many carnivores found in this area.

Encompassing only 30 per cent of the Kruger Park's surface area, the Central Region is generally the most frequented as most of the privately owned game reserves border this region. These private game lodges are still bound by most of the rules of the Kruger park and they offer incredible luxury, superbly guided game drives, and the freedom to move into the greater park area if desired.

The semi-arid Northern Region of the park has the largest surface area and sees very little rainfall, giving rise to a diversity of surroundings. Large tracts of sand formed by river flood plains combined with sandstone formations make the area extremely attractive to visitors. The Letaba and Olifants rivers contain 60 per cent of the park's hippo population and in the rainy season noticeable herds of elephant are visable on the riverbanks.

Few visitors should ever leave South Africa without visiting the world renowned Kruger National Park. Covering nearly 2 million hectares, it forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park - a peace park that links the Kruger Park with game parks in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Fences have come down between the countries allowing the animals free roaming. This is where one has the opportunity to view the Big Five, incredible fauna and flora and some of the best birdlife in Southern Africa. Whether you stay in a self-catering rest camp within the park or at one of the many luxury lodges, your trip here will be the ultimate safari experience!
