Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa and covers two million hectares of conservation area. It is larger than many small countries in Europe and attracts over half a million tourists annually. The Kruger National Park is one of South Africa’s most sought-after safari and tourist destinations and is one of the world’s most diverse and abundant nature and game reserves. It offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in the world. Established in 1898 by Paul Kruger to protect the wildlife of the South African lowveld, it is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies.

The Kruger National Park is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the lowveld environment over many centuries, - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites, - is very evident in the park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets.
