 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, 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.
