The Kruger National Park - a place where nearly 2 million hectares of unrivalled diversity of life forms fuse with historical and archaeological sights. This is the 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 is unrivalled in the array of its life forms and certainly 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: over 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over countless centuries - from the bushman rock paintings to the many majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in this awe inspiting reserve. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the country and are conserved along with the park's natural assets. It truly is a wonderful place to explore and GO WILD!
