Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands and Balaule Game Reserves – Combination Tours 2009
Kruger National Park, established in 1898, is often referred to as the brightest jewel in South Africa’s treasure chest.
Home to more species of wildlife than any other game sanctuary on the continent, the Park is unrivalled in terms of the diversity of its life forms. Dubbed the flagship of South African National Parks, it boasts an impressive 336 types of tree, 49 fish, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.
It is one of Africa’s few remaining havens for big cats and well over a thousand lions as well as large populations of leopard and cheetah who roam freely here.
Sabi Sands and Balalule both share unfenced borders with Kruger National Park, allowing the ooportunity to view and photograph elusive wild life in their natural habitat from open game vehicles during morning and evening game drives.
