Kruger National Park, South Africa
Paul Kruger had a vision to save the wildlife for future generation and to establish a protected for wildlife in the Lowveld region of South Africa.
With this mission I hope to create awareness about our natural heritage and share photos, stories and good memories so many people have of the Kruger National Park.
I also hope to persuade those that have not been there to go and visit South Africa's Kruger National Park!

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.
