KRUGER NATIONAL
PARK
Where nearly 2 million hectares of unrivalled diversity of life forms
fuses with historical and archaeological sights – this is real Africa.
The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience
that ranks with the best in Africa. Established in 1898 to protect the
wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2
million hectares, Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of
its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management
techniques and policies.
Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, Kruger 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 like Masorini
and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National 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. |
