The Park Itself
Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in
Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 square kilometres in the
provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends
360 kilometres from north to south and 65 kilometres from east
to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were
first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it
became South Africa's first national park in 1926.
To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the
two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is
Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo
Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the
Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in
Mozambique.
The park has nine main gates allowing entrance to the
different camps.
