The Kruger National Park is the primary destination in South Africa for many international tourists.  Each year more than half a million visitors come to the KNP because of the wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.

Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million hectares is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies.

Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 147 mammals, 114 reptiles, 507 birds, 49 fish, 34 amphibians and 336 trees. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident here. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets.

The Timbavati Nature Reserve shares a common, unfenced border with the KNP, which allows the animals free range and ensures guests to the area the opportunity to view the greatest diversity of wildlife that South Africa has to offer.

Another interesting development is that a Social Ecology Unit was established to support the arts and crafts practitioners within the communities living adjacent to the park.  The Skukuza Arts and Crafts Alliance received assistance on all aspects of business management, and now they can supply their products ~ ranging from grass mats, carved animals and pottery bowls ~ to wider markets.

Our groups are accommodated in rest camps within KNP, such as Skukuza and Letaba.
