Kruger National Park is one of the largest and most famous game reserves in Africa. It is located in northeastern South Africa, stretching across the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Established in 1898, Kruger National Park covers an area of approximately 19,485 square kilometers (7,523 square miles).
The park is named after Paul Kruger, the former president of the South African Republic, who played a significant role in its establishment. It forms part of the larger Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, which also includes game reserves in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, creating a massive conservation area.
Kruger National Park is renowned for its diverse wildlife and is home to an impressive array of animal species, including the “Big Five” (elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and buffalo). Other notable animals found in the park include giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, wild dogs, and numerous antelope species.
The park offers visitors opportunities for game drives, guided walks, and wilderness trails, allowing them to observe the wildlife in their natural habitat. It has an extensive network of roads and rest camps, providing accommodation options ranging from basic camping sites to luxury lodges.
