Visitors to South Africa’s Kruger National Park go there for a variety of reasons.
Whether it’s a self-driving safari or a guided safari, one of the main reasons is to find and take pictures of animals such as the “Super Seven”. Super Seven is the most popular animal, the one that visitors mark every Kruger camp aiming board every day-lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, sai (collectively known as the “Big Five” )) And add cheetahs and wild dogs to make up the African “Super Seven” animals.
We have been visiting Kruger National Park since 1995 and have stayed in all main camps and Bushveldas camps for 400 days to do a photo safari. During this time, I discovered the “Southern Circle,” the area between the Crocodile Bridge and the Lower Sabbie Camp on the southeastern corner of Kruger.
This area should be the most underrated throughout the park. Some people use the Crocodile Bridge gate to enter the park and allow them to reach the “real Kluger” (from Lower Sabbie to the north). In our humble opinion, the section of the road known as the “Southern Circle” must be the most consistent and productive of Super Seven sightings throughout Kruger National Park.
We have seen five large animals on four separate occasions in this area of the southern circle. One day we entered the park at 06:00 and saw the Big Five by 10:00. On another occasion, I saw Big 5 (including the killing of a lion), 3 leopards, a wild dog and a cheetah (Super Seven) on the ring road in one day!
We have our own sighting board at home, plotting all of our Super 7 Kluger sightings there, and this Southern Circle has a very high concentration of sighting pins. We have marked sightings of all lions, leopards, wild dogs and cheetahs, but only large herds of buffalo, sai and elephants because these sightings are too much to fit on the map. It was.
I know; you want to know which roads these are and why this area of the circle is so good for displaying the game!
Now, the southern circle consists of the H4-2 tar road and the S28 dirt road, both of which form a circle northward from the Crocodile Bridge towards Lower Sabie. There are also two short roads in this southern circle, the S130 and S137 Duke Roads.
There seems to be a combination of three elements that make this Southern Circle area rich in games.
• The area is close to two perennial rivers, so there is water available year-round (only 20 km from the southern circle Savier to the Crocodile River due to the flying crows).
• The basalt plain keeps water in the pot for a long time.And
• The area has sweetgrass, favored by zebras, buffalos, impalas and wildebeests, and these herbivores feed their predators.
So, as long as the “best game viewing route” goes, this must be number one in Kruger National Park-try it on your next Kluger Photo Safari!
