The South African National Parks says the Kruger National Park remains one of the country's critical destinations. Spanning nearly two million hectares across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, with its eastern boundary running along the Lebombo Mountains bordering Mozambique, Kruger remains one of the world's largest protected areas.  Today (30 May ) marks 100 years since the Park was proclaimed as the country's first national park. In 1926 the Kruger National Park was transformed from a game reserve to a tourist attraction that prioritises nature conservation. To date the Kruger attracts nearly two million visitors annually and has retained its standing as a top African safari destination. It has become a must visit destination for locals and visitors alike. Bongiwe Zwane caught up with Willie Aucamp, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment
