The sun is low and the air is dry; the Land Cruiser bumps along a red-dust track and the bushveld opens in bands of thicket and grass. You step out at a rest camp for a short snack, stretch your legs, then slip back into the vehicle as the guide eases into a line of spoor—elephant tracks the size of dinner plates—and the real work of the day begins.

History
Kruger National Park began in the late 19th century from land set aside by President Paul Kruger and has since grown into one of Africa’s longest-standing protected areas.
Conservation
Kruger relies on anti-poaching units and community programs; visitors help by following paths, not feeding wildlife and supporting park fees that fund conservation.
