Kruger National Park, National park in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, South Africa.
The Kruger National Park extends across 19,485 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, from grasslands to savannas and riverine forests along multiple rivers.
The park originated as the Sabi Game Reserve in 1898, later expanding and receiving national park status in 1926 under President Paul Kruger's conservation vision.
The park operates numerous research programs focusing on wildlife behavior, creating educational initiatives that connect visitors with African nature conservation principles.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entrance gates, choosing between guided safaris, self-drive tours, and accommodations ranging from camping to luxury lodges.
The park contains 147 species of larger mammals, including the Big Five, representing the highest such biodiversity among African national parks.

From the windy tip of the Cape to the blue line of the Drakensberg, South Africa stacks landscapes that do not resemble each other. A morning on Table Mountain, an evening facing the whales of Hermanus, and between them red trails, deep canyons, lagoons, vineyards, and reserves where large animals pass through. Kruger opens its roads at dawn, Pilanesberg sketches an ancient crater, iSimangaliso blends reefs and wetlands. Further afield, the rugged coast preserves its cliffs, the Richtersveld its succulent deserts, and the Valley of Desolation its frozen lava columns. Here, travel is at eye and light level, to the rhythm of a vast land that changes its face at every turn.
