Kruger+National+Park

 Lions and tigers and... giraffes… zebras?? Yes sirree, those are just some of the things we will be seeing when we go to Kruger National Park! Internationally known for its wide range of animals, this preserve is most known for its amazing care of animals and the beautiful tours you can take throughout the vast environment of species. The diverse organisms will leave you astounded and privelidged to have been able to see it up close and personal.

The park was founded in 1898 as the Sabie Game Reserve by Paul Kruger. His initial purpose for opening this preserve was for the almost obvious reason... to preserve the animals. He wanted to protect them and make sure they stay safe. You can't say that the park was built, but it has expanded over the years. When it was first founded, it took twelve years for his proposition to be realized.

 Nothing really famous has happened here; it's just the place itself that is famous. Kruger National Park is one of the largest reserves in Africa, covering an area of 19,633 square kilometers (7,580 sq miles). It has helped save so many animals from being hunted and having their qualities (such as an elephants tusks) traded for money or other animals. It became South Africa's first national park in 1926.

 Kruger National Park has been the same as it always was. But now, there are just more animals and more land for them to be free. This park has helped save so many animals. It continues to be a place for people to go around and see the animals and get a taste of how these animals live. It is a very big tourist attraction now and when people go to South Africa, they think about how much they can't wait to visit Kruger National Park.
