Greater Kruger National Park

The Greater Kruger National Park extends across 20,000 square kilometers of savanna, woodland, and mountain ranges in northeastern South Africa.

The area became protected in 1898 to prevent wildlife extinction, later establishing itself as South Africa's first national park in 1926.

The Makuleke community maintains connections to their ancestral lands within the northern section through partnerships focused on tourism development.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entrance gates, with accommodations ranging from basic camping facilities to high-end lodges.

The park employs 650 specialized rangers who utilize drones and aerial monitoring to protect endangered species from illegal hunting activities.
