South Africa: Northern Kruger National Park Map

The Northern Kruger Park region Map extends from the Shingwedzi to the Limpopo rivers. The area between the Luvuvhu and Limpopo rivers has been handed back to its previous owners, the Makuleke, in a groundbreaking process. It is now run as a concession, directly benefiting the Makuleke people. The northern section is the driest and least occupied part of the park and it is markedly different from the other areas.

Although the low rainfall makes the area less attractive to more common herbivores, the north of the Kruger Park does provide refuge for rare antelopes, like hartebeest, roan antelope, sable and eland. The north is also well known for wild dog, because lions, their chief competitor, are less common here.
