Kruger National Park
It was in May 1926 that this enormous slice of territory was formally proclaimed a National Park and named in honour of Paul Kruger, who gave impetus to the creation of wildlife sanctuaries in the 1890s. With an almost 2,000,000 hectare expanse of savannah and bush, the Kruger Park is big game country. Lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and tens of thousands of antelope roam the sunlit plains. Leopards stalk during the night; shy bushbuck hide in the riverine bush; giraffe browse on the sweet-scented acacias and vultures wheel overhead, alert for kills and carcass.
Day 1-2 – Kruger Park Accommodation
Singita Sweni is a Sensational Spot. The six secluded suites are elevated on stilts and their decor is modern with hues and textures that are those of the bush. The suites offer an incomparable proximity to the surrounding rivers and trees and if not enough, you can sleep out on your deck for a night under the stars…in style.
