Originally A Game Reserve
The Ambanis have been here for family holidays and have loved the place so much that the visit has been more than once. The National park is located in the heart of Lowveld and is bigger than the country of Israel. 147 species of mammals, 114 varieties of reptiles, and 507 kinds of birds can be found here, including 12,000 elephants, 27,000 African buffaloes, and 1,000 leopards. Sunrises and Sunsets here are simply iconic and a must-experience thing. Originally named the Sabi Game Reserve, Kruger National Park was founded in 1898 by Paul Kruger, who wanted to protect the wildlife of the reserve.
