Destination Review – Kruger National Park, South Africa

Having enjoyed a short hotel break to settle into the South African lifestyle, I took to the road to enjoy some of the highlights of this magnificent country.

Around a four-hour drive from Johannesburg, Kruger is one of the most iconic and best known safari destinations in the world.

From my base in Mbombela (formerly known as Nelspruit), I spent most of the day driving the various loops and trails, viewing a wide variety of wildlife in a natural and authentic habitat.

Kruger has a total of ten entry and exit gates. My personal advice is to enter via the Malelane or Crocodile Bridge gates at the southern perimeter and exit via the Paul Kruger or Orpen gates in the west.

Of course, one day is not nearly enough to do justice to what is widely considered to be the premier managed safari venue in the world.

However, I consider myself privileged to have had the opportunity to experience this spectacular destination.
