The Kruger National Park – the size of Wales – is part of a wider conservation region linked through the Transfrontier Park into Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Within South Africa, animals have free movement across unfenced boundaries with private reserves.The establishment of a wildlife conservation area dates back to President Kruger’s hunting initiative in 1884. His statue has now been removed but the legacy lives on – with vast numbers of larger and smaller game and over 400 species of birds.
