South Africa is the third most biologically diverse country in the world, which means there's a national park to suit every preference. From arid deserts to lush coastal forests, majestic mountains and bushveld.

With a total of 20 national parks, 14 of which offer overnight accommodation to tourists, there're plenty of wild places to choose from

Kruger is iconic Big Five territory, yet there's so much more to enjoy after spotting lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and elusive leopard. Endangered wild dogs can be seen in the south, cheetah and zebra on the plains and giraffe in the wooded areas

Night drives offer glimpses of unusual nocturnal animals, and birders can enjoy good sightings from numerous well-positioned hides. For golfers, there's the nine-hole Skukuza course, where a game can be played amidst grazing impala and other resident wildlife.
