DID YOU KNOW?

A Game park like no other:  The Kruger as the first national park to be proclaimed (1926) in South Africa and is still the best-known and most popular game sanctuary among local and overseas visitors.  The park covers an area of 21 497km² and extends over a distance of approximately 380km from the Limpopo River, South Africa’s northern frontier, to the Crocodile River in the south.

DID YOU KNOW?

There is nothing very distinctive about the topography of Kruger Park, except in its northern reaches –an area in which fully nine of Africa’s major ecosystems meet and merge.

The eastern boundary is the Mozambique frontier.  The Western boundary was extended in 1994 to incorporate a further 2000km² more when a large section of the fence was removed to ensure a free flow of game between the park and adjoining, internationally renowned private game reserves such as Timbavati, Sabie-Sand, Manyeleti and Klaserie. With the fence’s disappearance the width of the park was increased from an average 64km to as much a 100km.
