On the western borders of the magnificent Kruger National Park, are the private game reserves of the Sabi Sands, Timbavati and Manyeleti.

Kruger Park history begins in 1898 when the Sabie Game Reserve was established. It was founded by Paul Kruger after he became aware of the damage being done to wildlife caused by hunting. Sabie Game Reserve’s development was put on hold during the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902) but continued under the leadership of warden James Stevenson-Hamilton.
The park was expanded to nearly 2 million hectares (4.9 million acres) in 1926 when Sabie Game Reserve was joined up with Shingwetzi Game Reserve and various farms. The new enlarged park was named Kruger National Park and was opened to the public in 1927.
