Located in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in the north-east part of South Africa, the park was first protected in 1898. It became the first national park in South Africa in 1926.
The park has 21 rest camps, and two special and private lodge concessions. In order to see all the animals in the park, one needs more than two weeks.
