Kruger National Park, South Africa
Kruger National Park spans 7,523 square miles of northeastern South Africa — roughly the size of Israel. Established in 1898, it is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo) and over 500 bird species. Unlike many African parks, Kruger is accessible for self-drive safaris on a well-maintained road network, making wildlife encounters available without expensive guided tours.

Self-drive is possible on paved and gravel roads. Gates open at sunrise and close at sunset — plan routes to return in time. Book rest camps months ahead.
May through September (dry season) when vegetation thins and animals congregate at water sources.
