Elephants approach a watering hole in Kruger National Park to drink and bathe. As they enter the water a hippo, who’s making the watering hole his current home, is keeping an eye on them.
Taken while visiting Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa, covering an area of over 7,500 square miles in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa’s first national park in 1926.
To the north is Zimbabwe and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.
The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Biosphere Reserve.
