NORTHERN REGIONThe Northern Region in the Kruger Park is the area ranging southward from Capricorn to the Olifants River, bounded in the east by the Lebombo Mountains. The indigenous ever present Mopane tree as stunted scrub in the east, becomes more mixed with taller trees such as Leadwood, Apple Leaf, Jackalberry and Nyala Trees toward the west. The sparse, isolated hills in the west are rich in pre-historic artefacts.
Excellent game viewing opportunities for Elephant, Zebra and Buffalo are fairly common. As with all predator-prey relationships, Tsessebe and Ostrich abound in the open scrub land and while the predators are not as common, it is still possible to get glimpses of them. The predators after all are trying not to be seen. |
