Kruger National Park -
Mpumalanga
Driving your 4wd vehicle in this
world famous national park is an amazing experience.
It's not just the opportunity to
see all the usual wildlife suspects like lion, leopard, cheetah etc but also the
fact that you get way off the beaten track into areas of the reserve that other
tourists never see.
There are four self drive trails that you
can undertake here varying from 46 - 49 km in distance. The Lebombo trail is
guided and covers a distance of 500 km running almost the full length of the KNP
from north to south and takes 4 days to complete. Highly recommended.
The routes have been designed to
take guests as close as possible to the different wilderness areas in the Kruger
National Park
and were carefully chosen to bring out the uniqueness of the different
landscapes and associated fauna and flora.
