Kruger NationalPark
is a South African National Park and one of the largest game reserves in Africa. 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.
The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, an area
designated by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as
an International Man and Biosphere Reserve. The park has nine main gates
allowing entrance to the different camps.
Kruger is not exempt from
the threat of poaching that many other African countries have faced. Many
poachers are in search of ivory from elephant tusks or rhino horns, which are
similar in composition to human fingernails.
Will I be safe from wild animals at night?
Yes, you will be
safe as long as you follow all the Park rules. Make sure you are at your booked
camp before the gates close. Camps are closed and fenced off to safeguard
against wildlife; an occasional monkey or baboon can be found roaming around in
the Camp but they present no danger to you.
You are able to walk safely and freely within the boundaries of the camp at
night.
