Kruger National Park official guide

The Kruger National Park’s proud history of nurturing biodiversity is deeply interwoven with a rich legacy of cultural diversity stretching back more than a million years. In years gone by, early hunter-gatherers, traders, explorers and farmers passed through the area, encountering similar wildlife and vegetation to that which tourists treasure today. At least 150 mammal species, 500 birds, 340 trees, 115 reptiles, 50 fish and 35 amphibians have been recorded in Kruger, which is about 20 000 m2 – the size of Wales. The Kruger National Park Official Guide includes practical and essential information – detailed road maps, facilities in the area, distances to sites, a species identification guide, camp maps and more – that will make your trip to the Kruger worthwhile, interesting and hassle-free; and making this the quintessential guide for any trip to the park. The guide, which has been in print for over 10 years, is also available in Afrikaans, French and German.
