The Greater Kruger Region
The Greater Kruger refers to the extensive network of private nature reserves — including Sabi Sands, Timbavati, Klaserie, Balule and Manyeleti — that border Kruger National Park and share an open, unfenced boundary. Over several decades, fences between these reserves and Kruger were deliberately removed as part of a conservation strategy to restore natural ecological processes and expand wildlife habitats. The removal of fences allows animals to move freely across a much larger landscape, improving genetic diversity, supporting natural migration patterns and reducing pressure on specific areas. For wildlife, this creates a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem where species can follow seasonal resources such as water and grazing. For safari guests, the benefits are significant. The open system supports higher wildlife densities and more natural animal behaviour, leading to exceptional game viewing. Private reserves within the Greater Kruger also offer guided safaris with off-road driving and expert trackers, allowing for closer and more intimate encounters compared to national park settings. This combination of a vast wilderness area and exclusive guiding is what makes the Greater Kruger one of Africa’s premier safari destinations.

The Greater Kruger National Park, is joint venture between the Kruger National Park and the surrounding associated Private Nature Reserves within Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Together they have an area of more than 20 000 000 Hectares (or more than 20.000 km²), under their joint conservation.
Declared as an UNESCO ‘International Man and the Biosphere Reserve’, the Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It is situated across the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa, and its borders stretch up to Zimbabwe in the north and Mozambique in the east. Back in 1898 it was known as the Government Wildlife Park. It later became the Sabi Game Reserve, and then the Kruger National Park in 1926.
Associated Private Nature Reserves is a conglomerate of privately owned nature reserves which form the Greater Kruger National Park. It has over 20 members in its ranks. In 1993, the fences between Associated Private Nature Reserves and the Kruger National Park were removed to encourage wildlife migration, and the Greater Kruger National Park was born.
