Kruger National Park

South Africas Kruger National Park, established in 1926, spans 19,485 sq km across Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, making it one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It is home to the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo — along with more than 500 bird species, 147 mammal species, and 336 tree species. The park welcomes nearly 1.5 million visitors annually and anchors the broader Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a 35,000 sq km cross-border conservation area.
