My happy place is undoubtedly the Kruger National Park in South Africa and especially sitting at a waterhole watching animals coming to drink. Since 1927, the Kruger National Park has been open to visitors wanting to explore the world’s most famous nature conservation effort. On any day in Skukuza, the Kruger’s most popular rest camp, you’ll hear accents of all kinds, as safari goers the world over travel around the park, experiencing the thrill of seeing Africa's famous Big5 in their natural habitat. Each year up to a million people enter the Kruger National park. Some embark on self-drive safaris, exploring routes of their choosing while others will take the more laid back option of booking guided safaris.
Guided Kruger National Park safaris are arguably the better way to explore the Kruger if you are not a local. Tour guides know all of the best places to drive. They know the park better than they know their own names. Some of them have been travelling the vast empty landscapes for decades, their love for the park never waning.
