Park Attractions
Apart from wildlife, there are lots of tourist attractions in Kruger Park. They range from flora and museums to traditional dancing and a unique golf course where your average spectator isn't a person!
North, Central or South?
Most people travel around central and southern Kruger because most of the gates are in these two regions. The park is big and the speed limit is slow - 50km per hour (31 miles per hour), which is another reason people don't make it up to northern Kruger as often. You aim to spot animals and watch them, not to go racing around the game reserve!
 Ecosystems
The variety and number of animals you'll discover in the park depends on the six park ecosystems and how they all fit together.
Malaria
Kruger National Park is in a malaria area. Malaria shouldn't stop you from going to the park, but it is a risk. Get malaria aware. This is vital Kruger National Park information.

There are two Kruger cams in the park. Watch animals drinking at waterholes as they come and go. One wildlife cam is at Satara Rest Camp and the other is at Orpen Rest Camp.
 Where Can I Eat?
Our Kruger National Park Travel Guide has information about a number of food options.You can eat at restaurants in the rest camps.

Can I Hire A Car?
