protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of
nearly 2 million hectares, is unrivalled in the diversity of its life
forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques
and policies. Truly the flagship of the South African national parks,
Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish,
34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's
interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from
bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini
and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. These
treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role
in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with
the park's natural assets.
