Experience the Bush in and around Kruger National Park
Where nearly two 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, the Kruger Park is a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies today.
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.
