Beautiful park, and it's massive! Much more open spaces and seemed to be a greater diversity of wildlife, although we spent the most time and covered the most distance in this park so that may impact the diversity of things we saw.

We could see Big 5 plus Cheetah! Amazing time! Some blogs had informed about February not being the best time to go in a Safari (it's batter in the winter) but I desagree! We could see ALL the wonderful animals and the weather was just fine!!!

So vast you barely cover a fraction of it. Plenty of amazing Giraffes, Buffalo etc. Preferred the private reserves as you could go off road within 2 metres of elephants and lions with a fresh kill. Still a great day. Bring binoculars! Wish I'd bought some

Kruger National Park has it all, the wildlife, the lodges and gift shops, the restaurants, it's the go-to National Park for anyone who wants to go on an African Safari, and it's not hard to see why. I'd love to go again someday.

The review below is the personal opinion of Gaston Coma and not that of SafariBookings.
Kruger is way too big for encountering wild animals
Overall rating
3/5

The Kruger National Park is incredibly vast, which can make wildlife spotting more challenging. A better option, in my experience, is visiting private game parks. These parks are smaller, and the staff typically have a deeper understanding of the animals’ locations, making it easier to see them up close and enjoy more intimate encounters.

One thing I didn’t enjoy about Kruger was the extensive burned areas. I was informed that the vegetation is intentionally burned to increase animal visibility for tourists, but it felt unnatural and detracted from the experience. Additionally, because of the park's massive size, tour guides often seem rushed, giving you less time to take photographs and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

The Kruger National Park is a vast area where a lot depends on luck. This should not be underestimated. It's not a private game reserve but rather an extensive national park.

Saw African wild dog and saw tons of wildlife. Hence the high score. Missing both cheetah and leopard.
