Kruger

Highlights

The park is the largest and best known in southern Africa. It is located in the north-east of the country and stretches 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west. Zimbabwe borders the park to the north and Mozambique to the east. An extensive road network, also suitable for 2WD cars, makes the Kruger one of the best safari parks for self-drivers.

Landscape

The main habitat of the Kruger is the Lowveld.

The vegetation is relatively dense everywhere, especially during the rainy season. The northern part of the national park is in the tropical climate zone, the southern part in the subtropical zone and the central part in the transition zone. This variety of landscapes is also related to the lush vegetation. In the north of the park, the vegetation is denser than in the south due to increased rainfall. Here one also finds the characteristic baobab, the African baobab tree.
