The Kruger National Park has a number of 'Bushveld' camps,[1] but these are strictly speaking in the lowveld, as these terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

Although their limits are somewhat blurred,[2] lowveld is generally restricted to the more easterly parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

As implied by the region's name, the Bushveld's grassy plains are dotted by dense clusters of trees and tall shrubs.

The grasses found here are generally tall and turn brown or pale in winter (May to August), which is the dry season throughout most of Southern Africa.

This is due to the Bushveld igneous complex, an extremely rich saucer-shaped geological formation that stretches over more than 50,000 square kilometers.
