Kruger National Park

Spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometers, Kruger National Park is South Africa’s flagship wildlife reserve and one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world. Stretching across two provinces and bordering Mozambique, Kruger offers an unmatched diversity of wildlife, landscapes, and safari styles — from luxury lodges to self-drive adventures.

Home to the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos — Kruger is also a sanctuary for cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, and over 500 species of birds. The park’s vastness means no two game drives are ever the same. From mopane woodlands and riverine forests to open savannahs and waterholes, every turn delivers something magical.

With WildMyth Adventures, travelers can explore Kruger through expert-guided private safaris, intimate bush walks, and stays at exclusive lodges in both the main park and private concessions like Sabi Sands and Timbavati. Whether it’s your first safari or a return to the wild, Kruger offers both thrill and tranquility in equal measure.
