Kruger National Park, in northeastern South Africa, is one of Africa's largest game reserves. Its high density of wild animals includes the Big 5: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos. Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, as do diverse bird species such as vultures, eagles and storks. Mountains, bush plains and tropical forests are all part of the landscape.
Kruger Park is a fascinating destination for archaeological enthusiasts. There is ample evidence that prehistoric man (Homo erectus) lived in the area over 500 000 years ago. There are 254 known cultural heritage sites in the Kruger Park, which includes 130 rock art sites. Archaeological sites have been found in Kruger Park that date back to the Stone Age and Iron Age. There is also sample evidence that Bushman tribes inhabited the region many decades ago
