Welcome to my Wildlife channel and my trip through the Kruger NP, Mopani Camp on (Day5). This wildlife series should not be missed as these parks (SANP) are iconic in South Africa and should be protected and promoted into the world to be able to retain this legacy for the future and our children.

The largest game reserve in South Africa, the Kruger National Park is larger than Israel. Nearly 2 million hectares of land that stretch for 352 kilometres (20 000 square kilometres) from north to south along the Mozambique border, is given over to an almost indescribable wildlife experience. Certainly, it ranks with the best in Africa and is the flagship of the country’s national parks - rated as the ultimate safari experience and destination in the world.
Kruger National Park, in northeastern South Africa, is one of Africa’s largest game reserves. The high density of wild animals includes lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos. Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, also a wide diversity of bird species such as vultures, eagles, and storks. Mountains, bush plains, and tropical forests are all part of the landscape that soon mesmerises you as your journey progresses through these open landscapes.
Lying in the heart of the Lowveld is a wildlife sanctuary like no other, its atmosphere so unique that it allows those who enter its vastness to immerse themselves in the unpredictability and endless wilderness that is the true quality of Africa.
The Kruger National Park lies across the provinces of Mpumalanga and Limpopo in the north of South Africa, just south of Zimbabwe and west of Mozambique. It now forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park - a peace park that links Kruger National Park with game parks in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and fences are already coming down to allow game to freely roam in much the way it would have in the time before man’s intervention. When complete, the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park will extend across 35 000 square kilometres, 58% of it South African, 24% Mozambican and 18% Zimbabwean territory.
This is the land of baobabs, fever trees, knob thorns, marula and mopane trees underneath which lurk the Big Five, the Little Five (buffalo weaver, elephant shrew, leopard tortoise, ant lion and rhino beetle), the birding Big Six (ground hornbill, Kori Bustard, lappet-faced vulture, martial eagle, pel’s fishing owl and saddle-bill stork) and more species of mammals than any other African Game Reserve.
The Kruger Park is a self-drive destination, although there are guided tour operators, with an excellent infrastructure that includes picnic sites, rest camps, waterholes, and hides. The Kruger Park is a remarkable reserve offering an incredible experience of Africa at its most wild.
