Kruger National Park Area
 Since the park was first opened in 1898, it has grown into one of the best for game viewing in the world. 1863Km of road winds through the park, 697km of which are tarred. Driving is allowed between sunrise and sunset. There are many fenced rest camps for overnight stays and the park offers night drives. The best time for game viewing is during the dry winters when the foliage is low and the trees are bare. While the 'Big 5' – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo, are the biggest attractions, there are 114 species of reptiles, 507 species of bird and at least 140 other mammals to be seen.
