The Kruger National Park is situated on the northeast corner of South Africa, on the border of Mozambique. The park offers a range of accommodation to suit all preferences and covers two million hectares.
The far north of the park is the wildest and most difficult area to access and because of this, it has alluring qualities for the real adventurer. The park offers the "big five" game, which includes buffalo, elephants, leopard, lion and rhinoceros. There is also the "small five" including buffalo weaver, elephant shrew and ant lion to name a few.
The park also has the Letaba elephant museum, Albasini and Maserini ruins.
