Whether you crave adventure, love animals or just want to spend some time in the great outdoors, the Kruger National Park area has something for everyone. And while many enjoy visiting during the warmer seasons, just as many flock to see the game during winter, as the sparse vegetation makes it ideal for game viewing.
What to do:
- Go on an elephant-back safari. Experience the magic of the African landscape on the back of one of the great beasts of the wild – it’s a must-do adventure for any wildlife lover!
- Take a helicopter flight over the Blyde River Canyon. Sweep over rivers and mountains, linger over waterfalls and experience the spectacular panoramic view of the Blyde River Canyon from the sky.
- Have a hot-air balloon ride. This is a magnificent experience where you can enjoy the splendour of the park as the sun rises over the horizon.
- Take a walking safari. There is something thrilling about roaming the Kruger National Park on foot. Don’t worry, you won’t be alone – an experienced guide will be there to ensure you are safe throughout your journey and to show you the best game-viewing sites. Remember to pack comfortable hiking shoes.
- Explore the Thulamela Ruins. At this archaeological site you will have the opportunity to gain some insight into early African culture and the way people lived during both the Iron and Stone Age.
Enjoy a Blyde Dam boat cruise. Savour the splendour of the Blyde River Canyon by taking a cruise through the third largest canyon in the world. A boat cruise on the dam is a must-do when you visit the greater Kruger area.- Go tubing and river rafting. If you want to get your adrenalin pumping, there’s no better way than to grab your life jacket and brave the rapids of the Olifantsriver.
- Kloofing. If tubing and rafting aren’t adventurous enough for you and you’d rather leap over waterfalls, climb cliffs and jump into the waters of the Blyde River Canyon, kloofing is the thing for you! It’s a wild heart-pumping adventure.
Other site attractions include golfing, self-drive, guided and honeymoon safaris, stargazing and birding. Kruger National Park also caters to day and disabled visitors.
