South Africa has committed more than three million hectares of its total land mass to the conservation of its organic heritage. You will see a wonderful assortment of habitats and wildlife when you visit these amazing internet sites.

The Kruger National Park covers around 2 million hectares and is the largest game reserve in South Africa. It is roughly the very same size and shape as either Israel or Wales! It covers 20 000 square kilometres and it stretches 350 km from north to south and 60 km from east to west. To the north of the Park is Zimbabwe and to the east is Mozambique. The Kruger National Park will be extended into the Excellent Limpopo Transfrontier Park by taking some fences down between the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe and the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. This will then cover far more than 36 000 square kilometres and will be larger than Switzerland.

In 1896 the rinderpest virus wiped out most of the regions game and cattle, leaving the region crippled. Hunters decimated the originally wealthy game stock amongst the Crocodile River in the south, Sabie River in the north, Lebombo Mountains in the east and the Drakensberg in the west. Therefor President Paul Kruger opened the National Park to safeguard and ensure the survival of the remaining animals. Funds for the Sabie Game Reserve were allocated in 1898, but then war broke out.

Following the second Boer War, James Stevenson-Hamilton, a Scottish born individual, was appointed the first warden in 1902 and a handful of months later the area from the Sabi River all the way to the Olifants River was added. He removed all human inhabitants from the reserve and started to shoot all predators in order to shield the antelope herds. By 1905, the Sabi Game Reserve had expanded to contain a lot more than 17 000 kilometres.

In 1926 the reserve was named soon after President Paul Kruger and was declared South Africas first National Park. In 1927 the park was opened to the public and they had been charged a 1 entry charge. Only a couple of individuals came to check out the park throughout that year, but by 1935 more than 26 000 men and women passed by way of the gates.

Nowadays more than 1 million people per year pay a visit to this magnificent park. Stevenson-Hamilton was extremely shocked when lions became one particular of the most significant attractions and he stopped the shooting of predators. The extended Kruger Park was only fenced in for the 1st time in 1962. On the 31st of Could 1972, the Sabie and Shingwedzi reserves together with 70 privately owned farms were consolidated into the Kruger National Park, one particular of the greatest parks in the complete of Africa.

Altogether there is about 1 982 species of plants, 517 species of birds of which 253 are residents and numerous other animals. Some of them are the African buffalo, African hunting dogs, cheetahs, eland, bushbucks, zebra, black rhinoceros, white rhinoceros, giraffes, kudus, hippopotamus, leopards, lions, impalas, mountain redbucks, nyalas, redbucks, antelopes, sable antelopes, hyenas, elephants, warthogs, waterbucks, wildebeest, baboons, monkeys, duiker, steenbok and klipspringer.

There are also 120 species of reptile such as the Nile crocodile, 52 species of fish and 35 species of amphibians. The very best time for observing all these animals is the dry winter season (throughout the months of April to September). The Kruger National Park is a summer season rainfall area and in the course of the winter months, the grass is low and bushes dont have leaves, so you will have an unobstructed view.
