Destination Essentials

For memorable wildlife viewing, consider visiting Kruger National Park during the dry winter months (May to September). This period emphasises the park's untamed beauty while minimising the risks associated with the subtropical climate. Wildlife tends to congregate around water sources, which can be scarce at this time, making sightings more predictable.

Should you wish to admire lush vegetation and catch a glimpse of baby animals, the wet season (October to April) is ideal, despite the slightly lower wildlife visibility. Keep in mind that malaria risk can be higher during this time. Ultimately, when to visit this magnificent park depends on your preferences and what you intend to experience.
