Kruger Central
Home of the Big 5
Put simply there is no better place to see Africa's Big Five consistently and up close, than Kruger. The strict border of Kruger National Park is a smaller area, within the national park’s actual borders. Just like American national parks, Kruger can be a very crowded place, with each game sighting drawing a large crowd. Greater Kruger National Park includes the private reserves surrounding the park. Bushtracks prefers to use these private reserves, allowing travelers to enjoy a more intimate experience in nature. The larger the reserve, the better the game viewing.
