The best way to experience this untamed African bush is to get your feet on the ground and explore the magnificent region. The Kruger National Park offers an abundance of wildlife including approximately 507 bird species, 147 mammals as well as bushman rock paintings and archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela.
Apart from Big 5 game drives, guests can also enjoy bush walks, night drives, sleep-outs under the stars, bird-watching and off-road game drives in private areas of the Greater Kruger area. There are numerous private reserves bordering the Kruger National Park as well as private concessions within the national park. Within these private areas are safari lodges to suit all travellers and all budgets.
Some of the best game viewing areas of the Greater Kruger Park are in the private concessions that share unfenced borders with the park, so wildlife flows freely between them. In these concessions, guests are taken on exciting off-road game drives and guided walks in the bush.
The most well known of these private reserves in the Sabi Sand , where phenomenal leopard sightings happen! North of Sabi is the Timbavati Game Reserve and Klaserie Private Nature Reserves . The Manyelti Game Reserve links Sabi and Timbavati, allowing game to move freely between these havens.
Kapama Private Game Reserve and Thornybush Bush Game Reserve are fenced reserves bordering the Timbavati, with pristine bush and fantastic wildlife.
