Kruger National Park Rest Camps and Trails
There are 31 rest camp and trails (camping) in the Kruger National Park. The map below shows all of them relatives to the main road system in the Kruger.
Some of the rest camps are also the ranger sections or stations and these have been indicated as such in the list (using *)
Some of the duties of rangers involve anti poaching, census studies, fire
patrol and protection as well keeping an eye open for disease and unusual
occurrences. For example there was recent outbreak of Anthrax in the northern
region near Pafuri in which 15 animals were found to have died. The rangers
would monitor the situation closely alongside expert veterinary personnel based
in the Kruger Park. A Similar thing happened to the
Roan Antelope, where 30
animals sadly died in July 2012.

Names of Rest Camps or Trails in Kruger National Park
Names with * after them denote that the camp is also the ranger section headquarters. Over the next few months as I visit the various camps I will create some relevant information in terms of facilities and points of interest.
In general the rest camps of Kruger are excellent for bird watching especially those that are on the banks of rivers such as Letaba, Shingwedzi, Skukuza, and Lower Sabie.
