The diversity of animal and plant life of South Africa’s most well-known wildlife reserve contribute to the park’s magnificent reputation. An African safari in the Kruger National Park is likely to be at the top of almost everyone’s bucket list when visiting this part of the world.

Visiting the Kruger National Park is an unforgettable experience and exactly what you would expect from an African safari and spending time with a knowledgeable guide is without a doubt the best way to ensure that you see exactly what you came for.

It is no surprise that so many people prefer a four day classic safari offered by the Kruger Safari Co to explore those incredible landscapes. Time spent in the park on a four day classic safari tour provides a welcome respite from the stresses of everyday life.
