Wildlife
History
Kruger National Park was formed in the early 20th century as part of South Africa’s conservation movement; the reserve protects both biodiversity and archaeological sites tied to local communities.
Conservation
Visitor impact is managed through controlled vehicle routes, entrance fees that support park maintenance, and a cashless system to reduce theft—respecting park rules minimizes disturbance to wildlife.
