Kruger National Park: The Ultimate Guide

Covering nearly 2 million hectares of pristine African wilderness, Kruger National Park is one of the world's premier safari destinations.

Best Time to Visit

The dry winter months (May to September) offer the best game viewing as animals congregate around water sources and the bush is less dense.

Gates Near Hazyview

From Solana Villas, the closest gates are Phabeni Gate (30 min) and Numbi Gate (40 min). Both offer excellent game viewing opportunities from the moment you enter.

The Big Five

Lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhino — spotting all five is the ultimate safari achievement. Kruger's southern section has one of the highest Big Five densities on the continent.
