Kruger National Park (Continued)

Continuing with Kruger National Park the reason I chose to write about this area is because of the many animals large and small that live in this area. The biggest of animals live in this area. For example the African Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, African Leopard, and White and Black Rhinos live in this area. Those are some of the biggest creatures you can see in this park. It is a very good thing that there are protected areas for these animals. The parks climate is very hot and reaches over 100 degrees on some days. The vegetation is very bare with throned bushed and trees. One of the biggest problems with this park is the poaching of these animals. Rhino horns are one of the biggest problems. These animals are down to about 350 left because of the killing for their horns. This is very important that they continue to try and defend these animals. This park would be an awesome one to visit because of the variety of camps, restaurants, and various safari tours that one could go to or on while visiting this area.

Kruger National Park

This week we are going to take a long trip overseas to see one of the biggest game national parks in South Africa. Kruger National Park Is located in the North Eastern part of South Africa by Limpopo and Mpumalanga. The park stretches just over 7,500 square miles which shows that it is one of the biggest parks we have even talked about through this blog. The park has many protected areas that help with wildlife preservation. It was South Africa's first national park and it has be for close to one hundred years. The park has many different camps that one could visit while visiting the park. One of the main tourism attractions are the animals and habitats you see when you visit this park which we will talk about later this week.
