Highlight of Highlights - Pick of the bunch

Wildlife Safari in Greater Kruger National Park

Stretching for some 350 kilometres, and sharing a common border with Mozambique and Zimbabwe, much of Kruger consists of flat grass and scrubby plains that support an enormous variety of wildlife and bird life. Go on game drives in search of elephants, giraffes, zebras, Cape buffalos, antelopes and white rhinos. If we are lucky, we may even encounter lions, leopards or the endangered Cape hunting dog!
