For centuries, the land between the Sabie and Crocodile Rivers was no more than a vast tract of African savannah. Attempts at permanent human settlement had mostly failed as mosquito and tsetse fly infestation made life intolerable, if not perilous. In 1903 this area was marked out as Africa's first wildlife reserve, and given the name Sabie Game Reserve. 1926 saw expansion as far as the Limpopo River, as the park, now covering almost 2 million hectares, became the Kruger National Park. The park features excellent drives and trails through both dense bush and dry scrub. It is a premier local and international game park, featuring over 250 000 mammalian inhabitants falling into 147 species including all of the 'big five', as well as 507 bird, 336 tree, 49 fish, 34 amphibian and 114 reptile species. With its subtropical climate, the large habitat variety and a surface area of 19 633 square km, the park is home to a spectacular array of fauna and flora and is undoubtedly the world leader in dynamic environmental management techniques and policies based on experience gained over more than a century.	click to view map Private Reserves & Conservancies Balule Manyeleti Marloth Park Sabie Sands Thornybush Timbavati
