Kruger National Park - South Africa Travel Attractions
Take a tour of Kruger National Park in South Africa -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
To enter the Kruger National Park means to lose oneself in Africa's vastness and wilderness.
Visitors flock to South Africa to see some of the most incredible beasts that roam the planet.
From the tall, elegant giraffe
To the slow, graceful water buffalo
Animals in the Kruger National Park are breathtaking, resembling those of childhood dreams.
While some come here and see the landscape as parched and dry,
The park is in fact bursting with life and supports six different types of ecosystems.
At sunset, the smell of the air and the color of the sky rejoice in African savannah.

Stay safe in South Africa
======================
South Africa is notorious for an extraordinarily high violent crime rate (although part of this may be due to better crime reporting than most developing countries). It's not unheard of for the police to refuse to leave their air-conditioned offices to investigate crime on the basis that it's too dangerous out there! South Africa is consistently ranked at somewhere between 14 to 18 among the countries with the highest murder rates in the world (31.8 per 100,000 per year as of 2013).
However, by being vigilant and using common sense, you might have a safe and uneventful trip. The key is to know and stick to general safety precautions. Never walk around in deserted areas at night or advertise possession of money and expensive accessories.
Do not accept offers from friendly strangers. Do not wear jewellery or expensive watches. Do not wear a tummy bag with all your valuables, consider a concealed money belt worn under your shirt instead. Distribute your valuables in inside pockets and other pockets. A decoy wallet may also be worth considering. Leave passports and other valuables in a safe or other secure location. Do not carry large sums of money. Do not walk by night in deserted places. Hide that you are a tourist: conceal your camera and binoculars.
Like many developing countries, South Africa is not a good place for solo travellers to use local urban mass transport systems, unless you are a military veteran, a martial arts expert, or are otherwise experienced and confident in your ability to defend yourself against armed muggers in strange foreign environments. Rent a car, take a taxi, or take an escorted tour.
Do not leave your valuables in plain sight when driving in your car, as smash and grab attacks do sometimes occur at intersections, and keep your car doors locked, and windows closed. Know where to go so that you avoid getting lost or having to read a map in public: that will minimize the risk of inadvertently signalling to strangers that you are a tourist.
If you are carrying bags, try and hook them under a table or chair leg when sitting down, this will prevent them from being snatched.
Visiting the townships is possible, but do not do it alone unless you really know where you're going. Some townships are safe while others can be extremely dangerous. Go with an experienced guide. Some tour companies offer perfectly safe guided visits to the townships.
South Africa has very few earthquakes, cyclones, tornadoes, floods, terrorist incidents or contagious diseases (with the notable exception of HIV).

The Malopeni Overnight Eco Trail is a guided one night motorised adventure trail which travels along management roads in the area to the north-east of Phalaborwa Gate up to the Letaba River.
The route allows the adventure tourist exclusive access to remote areas which are not frequented by many vehicles and bring the true eco-tourist close to the realities of the African bush.
Emphasis is on the wilderness, the remoteness and the seclusion of traveling through areas rarely seen by others.
The trail will offer a variety of experiences which include seeing different animal spoor, animals, plant and bird species as well as a variety of different landscapes.
A maximum of five vehicles limited to four persons per vehicle are guided by an official vehicle.
This experienced and professional guide will act as the trail leader and will interpret the various natural phenomenon such as geology, biology, botany as well as historical and cultural information, at regular intervals.
All vehicles need to be fully equipped in terms of their own camping equipment.
• The trail starts at Phalaborwa Gate at 14:00 on the day of departure and returns to Phalaborwa Gate the following day at around 12:00 (campsite is vacated at approximately 09:00 after breakfast).
• The overnight campsite is unfenced and has a fireplace, ashdrum and two enviro loo’s (toilets with no chemical or flushing component), one for ladies and one for gents. It is a self-catering trail and guests have to provide their own water, firewood, food and accommodation (Tent). Although it is not strictly speaking a 4×4 challenge, road conditions vary from reasonably good to a few places with steep inclines and in the rainy season – muddy patches where guests are asked to engage in 4×4 (if their vehicle has this capability).
• Without 4×4 capabilities, wheels might spin and the road might be damaged and therefore it is recommended that 4×4 vehicles be used on this trail, however high clearance 2×4 vehicles are also permitted. Only genuine off-road trailers or caravans are allowed.
• The trail departs on a daily basis throughout the year from Phalaborwa Gate although in the case of heavy rainfall the route might be changed or even be closed temporarily. The Phalaborwa Section Ranger can also close the route any time for management related issues such as an uncontrolled fire or for anti-poaching operations in the area.
• Only 5 vehicles plus the guide’s vehicle are allowed on the trail at any one time, with a maximum of 4 people per vehicle. (No children under 12 years unless arranged prior to departure and this will only be possible in cases where one group has booked the entire trail).
Landscapes
The route commences in the Phalaborwa Sandveld and stretches into Mopane (Colophospermum mopane) Savanna on Basic Soils and the Letaba River Rugged Veld. The predominant geology formations consist mainly of granite and gneiss. Soils of the watersheds are generally deep and sandy. The Phalaborwa Sanveld is characterized by the occurrence of large numbers of termite mounds, which are comprised of light grey soils. A number of well-defined and deeply incised watercourses pass through the Mopane Savanna from higher-lying areas. The Letaba River Rugged Veld represent the mid and lower drainage slopes of the Letaba River. It is generally strongly undulating with prominent watersheds and deeply incised watercourses.
