National parks
Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park
By amalgamating the Gemsbok National Park and the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa, a nature reserve was created in the Kalahari with a total area of 42,000 square meters. In South Africa, the national park is one of the largest ecosystems to be protected. Here seasonal migrations of the animals take place, which you can witness. It is considered to expand the national park to Namibia and expand the protected area. The tourist interest is there and growing. Countless overnight camps have been built, such as Nossob, Mata-Mata and Twee Rivieren. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park has a sand basin which is 2.5 million square meters in size. This ranges from the Oranje River, over the equator to Namibia and Zimbabwe.
In the national park you will find red sand dunes and salt pans where there are few plants. In the last 10,000 to 20,000 years, the existing dunes were stabilized with vegetation, so that a dry savannah was created. The backbone of the system are the low bushes that prevent it from turning into a desert.
Kruger National Park
The Kruger National Park is located in the northeast of South Africa in the Lowveld region. It extends over the South African provinces of Mpumalanga and Limpopo. It has a north-south extension of 350 km and in east-west direction an average size of 54 km and covers an area of around 20,000 km 2.
History
On March 26, 1898, with the approval of Paul Kruger, President of the Transvaal Republic, the area was established as a protected area. The sanctuary was named Sabie Game Reserve. However, regular hunting was still allowed in the area at that time. In 1902, under the game warden James Stevenson-Hamilton, poaching was combated, thus laying the foundation for today’s animal wealth.
In 1903 another protection zone was established north of the Sabie Game Reserve. This was called the Shingwedzi Game Reserve. In 1926, the Sabie Game Reserve, Shingwedzi Game Reserve and adjacent areas were merged. At the same time, the area was given national park status. With this merger, the now world-famous name Kruger National Park came about.
Flora and fauna
147 species of mammals including the ” Big Five ” live in the park, as well as around 507 species of birds and 114 species of reptiles, 49 species of fish and 34 species of amphibians. For more information about the continent of Africa, please check ethnicityology.com.
