Today (day 2) we continue our South African "virtual tour" during lockdown and visit the amazing Kruger National Park.
Paul Kruger, president of the South African Republic at the time, proclaimed a "Government Wildlife Park" in 1898. This park would later be known as the Sabi Game Reserve. In the Northern part of this area the Shingwedzi Reserve was proclaimed in 1903.
In 1926, Sabie Game Reserve and the adjacent Shingwedzi Game Reserve, and some farms were combined to create Kruger National Park. A sanctuary for the protection of its wildlife
Today it is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 km2. About half the size if Switzerland.
The first three tourist cars entered the park in 1927, jumping to 180 cars in 1928 and 850 cars in 1929. Today it is visited by thousands to enjoy the wonderful wildlife. ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ
Fรผr meine deutschen Gรคste:
Heute setzen wir unsere "virtuelle Tour" durch den Sรผden wรคhrend der Sperrung fort und besuchen den erstaunlichen Krรผger-Nationalpark.
Paul Kruger, der damalige Prรคsident der Sรผdafrikanischen Republik, erklรคrte den Krรผger-Nationalpark 1926 zum Schutzgebiet seiner Wildtiere. Heute ist er eines der grรถรten Wildreservate in Afrika. Es umfasst eine Flรคche von 19.485 km2. Etwa halb so groร wie die Schweiz. Nach der Proklamation des Krรผger-Nationalparks im Jahr 1926 betraten die ersten drei Touristenautos 1927 den Park und sprangen 1928 auf 180 Autos und 1929 auf 850 Autos. Heute besuchten uns Tausende, um die wunderbare Tierwelt zu genieรen. ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ
