The Kruger Map. Discover the Kruger National Park with This Amazing Map & Guide Combo
Explore the magnificence and glory of this pristine wilderness... Far more than
a large scale map of the Kruger National Park... it's a 24 page beautifully illustrated
complete guide to the fabulous Kruger.
The Kruger National Park is a world icon and a South African treasure. Situated in the north east of South Africa and bordering Mozambique and Zimbabwe the Kruger stretches from Malelane in the south up to Pafuri gate in the north. It takes more than a day to travel from north to south along the main road at 50km per hour which is the maximum speed limit. There is a vast network of roads that transverse the park form north to south and east to west making it quite easy to spend a month in the Kruger in order to cover all the roads available. In fact I spent more than 30 days doing just that in 2007 and have recorded my trip and the wonderful sights I experienced on my website The Kruger
Map and guide available in Afrikaans (please request).
It's very important to plan a trip to Kruger before you arrive in view of the fact it's impossible to cover all the roads during a normal holiday. This means you need to select appropriate camps you would like to stay in and the routes you would like to travel.
Because there are so many possibilities it's important to get the best map available.
