About the Kruger Park... The Kruger National Park is one of the most unspoilt natural eco-systems left in Southern Africa. It is always exciting to view the Big Five... elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo. But, don't overlook the other Big Five... giraffe, hippo, cheetah, wild dog and hyena, which make up the Big Ten! This wildlife area is home to some 33 species of amphibian, 115 species of reptile and 140 species of mammal, including all the big game species that were nearly wiped out by the hunters of the nineteenth century. Approximately 470 bird species have been recorded here, more than half of Southern Africa's total! What makes Kruger so special is its vastness. This is not a 5000 hectare game ranch; it is 20 000 square kilometer wilderness. The dry months of August and September are probably the best for game-viewing, as the bush at this time is dry and harsh. Once the rains break, in October or November, a metamorphosis occurs, and within a few weeks the arid bushveld is transformed into a verdant jungle. The game at this time generally disperses as many species are no longer reliant on the perennial rivers and waterholes. Game viewing does become more difficult, but the birdlife improves as migrants return from the north to feast upon the increased insect life brought on by the rains. The rainy peaks in December, January and February, tailing off in March and April. The winter temperatures are wonderful for visitors, who often find the lowveld summers rather hot. Max temperatures average 23 C in July and 30 C in January. Average daily minimums are 8 C and 18 C respectively. |
