If you don’t have the time for a Kruger Park Tour this is your best alternative - only about two hours from Pretoria / Johannesburg.  This malaria-free 58 000 hectare park - the fourth largest in South Africa - is situated on the eroded remains of a 1,2 billion-year-old extinct volcanic crater, and is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant), and more than 365 bird species.  Overnight packages are available from the following lodges: Tshukudu Lodge, Ivory Tree Game Lodge, Kwa Maritane Lodge and Bakubung Lodge.
