A vast national park in the northeastern part of South Africa. It was established as a game reserve in 1898 by President Kruger of the Transvaal Republic, and was expanded after the Boer War and designated a national park in 1962. It stretches 340km from north to south and 35-80km from east to west, covering a total area of over 20,000 km2, and is considered one of the best in the world for the variety and number of species, including large and small herbivores, carnivores, birds, and reptiles. There are six entrances, including Crocodile Bridge at the southern end near the border with Komatie-Pullto, and there are 13 accommodation facilities within the park.
