South Africa National Parks at a Glance

Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park, in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, is one of Africa’s largest game reserves. Its high density of wild animals includes the Big 5: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos. Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, as do diverse bird species such as vultures, eagles and storks. Mountains, bush plains and tropical forests are all part of the landscape.
Accommodation for Big 5 safaris in Mpumalanga are either within the Kruger National Park or on the neighboring private reserves such as Sabi Sand (which has the highest density of leopards in the world), Timbavati (which is home to the famous white lions) and Thornybush. If you're keen on seeing all of the Big 5, give it at least 3 days. But remember, there are no guarantees in the wilderness.

Madikwe Game Reserve

As one of the largest game reserves in South Africa, travellers will find that Madikwe Game Reserve boasts a diverse variety of wildlife. The Big Five, (Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino, Lion and Leopard) are all present in Madikwe Game Reserve, as well as many species of birds, antelope and other mammals; including the endangered African Wild Dogs and Cheetah.

Heralded as the boutique reserve in South Africa, Madikwe Game Reserve is a landmark in modern conservation and community development, now the setting for Africa’s biggest translocation of wild game. More than 8,000 animals of 28 species were released into the reserve, including elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, cheetah, African Wild dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, zebra and many species of antelope and herbivores. Leopard already occurred naturally in the reserve and about 250 species of birds have been recorded in Madikwe.

The game reserve is perfect for first-time visitors as well as seasoned travellers. Avid photographers will find that Madikwe is a wonderful photographic safari destination as the game reserve’s vast landscapes offer a scenic setting for wildlife photography. As Madikwe is a malaria-free game reserve, guests will be able to enjoy an outstanding safari experience without having to take extra medication.
