One hundred years ago, Kruger National Park was established in northeastern South Africa, creating one of Africa's largest game reserves spanning 7,576 square miles—more than twice the size of Yellowstone. This landmark protected area continues to safeguard the continent's rich biodiversity as part of the larger Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, which crosses international borders to support wildlife conservation on a regional scale.
