Kruger National Park

The approximately 5 million-acre Kruger National Park, located about 260 miles northeast of Johannesburg, has some of the greatest access to wild creatures in Africa. Buffalo, elephants, leopards, lions, and rhinos, as well as Nile crocodiles, hippos, and uncommon birds such as southern ground-hornbills and lappet-faced vultures, all live here. But there's more to this enormous nature reserve than simply animals. The park's savanna, thornveld, and forest terrain are dominated by giant baobab, fever, and marula trees. Furthermore, the Albasini and Masorini ruins, which were originally exchanged by Portuguese colonists and members of the indigenous Ba-Phalaborwa ethnic group, are located in Kruger's Marula and Nxanatseni districts.

Kruger National Park will surely get you as near to nature as you can get. Consider going on a game drive or a bushwalk to make the most of your time. Many people make pit stops near popular wildlife viewing spots like Hippo Pool, the Kruger Tablets, and the Red Rocks, where lions, hippos, and birds are frequently seen. Alternatively, camp for a few days and hike popular paths like Wolhuter and Olifants.
