Kruger Bird List
Birding in the Kruger. To put it simply, there is no better area/ region within South Africa that can come close in terms of pure bird species and numbers.
From the Pafuri region in the North to the Sabi Sand Reserve in the South and everything in between, one is guaranteed a birding experience second to none, especially on a dedicated birding bush walk.
Kruger Mammal List
The +147 mammal species (including the "big 5") available in the Kruger Park is the main drawcard for most.
On this page, we offer a checklist of the mammals that one has the chance of spotting either from within the Kruger herself or in one of the adjoining private game reserve options of the Sabi Sand, Timbavati or Thornybush.

When To Visit The Kruger
An all year round safari destination. The dry winters months May through October are best for game viewing while offering daytime temperatures that are comfortable and pleasant.
