KRUGER NATIONAL PARK...

KRUGER...
...a palette of Eden

A mass of gold gently stirs. It raises its head and contemplates the vast wilderness... A slow growl emerges from the depth of its being. The king throws back his magnificent mane and lets out his mighty roar.
He is free...
        He is home...

Spanning across the Mpumalanga region into the Limpopo Province lies the Kruger National Park. Here, visitors will encounter indigenous bush sub-tropical lowveld vegetation, fertile valleys, and terraced hills.
The Northern area offers many archaeological and historical sites, such as Masorini and Thulamela.
The park, rich in biodiversity, was established in 1898 and stretches for 350 km from south to north along the Mozambiquan border to where South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe meet at the infamous Crooks' Corner on the influence of the Luvuvhu and Limpopo rivers.

Well known for its diversity of habitat and wildlife, Kruger offers visitors an excellent opportunity to experience close encounters with elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard in a natural unfenced environment. Wild dog, cheetah, zebra, giraffe and a variety of other species are also indigenous to the park. A paradise for the wildlife enthusiast with close to a 150 mammals, over 380 species of indigenous trees, as well as over 500 bird species, the park is a birdwatchers haven.
