Where is the best place to see wild animals?
South Africa is known as a fantastic game viewing destination. The Kruger National Park is probably the best known and is famous for its management policies, great infrastructure and superb wildlife. Situated north of Johannesburg, this two million hectare park contains the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) as well as endangered animals like wild dog and over 500 bird species. There are a number of smaller game reserves around the Kruger, sharing in the magnificent animal wealth. There are many kinds of accommodation, from comfortable to luxurious, available in the area. Other well-known game reserves are the Pilanesberg National Park, the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Wildlife Park and Madikwe Game Reserve.
