Best neighbourhoods in Kruger National Park for families

The park's main camp and highest-density wildlife zone — granite kopjes, Sabie River, the densest leopard population in Africa.

Riverfront rest camp east of Skukuza — the most-photographed Kruger lodge, with the deck over Sabie River and the iconic Sunset Dam.

Open mopaneveld plains in central Kruger — cheetah, lion prides, the famous Satara breakfast, fewer cars than the south.

Mid-section river camps perched on cliffs above the Olifants and Letaba Rivers — elephant country, scenic, less crowded than the south.

Kruger's far north — baobabs, fever-tree forests, the Pafuri triangle, the park's best birding and most remote wilderness feel.
