Start in the Lowveld’s gateway towns, then connect the park with the escarpment.

The places around the park
have their own stories.

White River and Hazyview help put the wider Lowveld journey in context. Give the towns their own attention, from an arrival and a meal to the practical choices around your next outing.

Inside the national park

Across the park landscape.

Kruger has its own gates, camps and visitor arrangements. Start with the particular visit you want to make, and give the landscape room beyond a wildlife checklist.

Keep the setting clear.

The public park and neighboring private reserves can involve different arrangements. Check where an experience takes place, who supplies it and what is included.

A change of scenery.

The escarpment introduces waterfalls and a different scale of landscape. This is the Treur River at Bourke’s Luck Potholes, outside Kruger National Park.

the canyon country.

Blyde River Canyon and the Panorama Route form a separate regional chapter. Choose the places that interest you, with clear arrangements for the actual visit.
