1. Story
2. South Africa's flagship national park, roughly 19,485 km2 along the Mozambique border, consolidated as a national park in 1926 from the Sabi and Shingwedzi game reserves proclaimed under the South African Republic and British administrations. Its present boundaries were reached through successive land acquisitions and, in the apartheid period, through the removal of resident African communities — most documented among them the Makuleke, removed from the Pafuri area in 1969. Kruger is administered by SANParks and is a core anchor of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area.

21. Evidence
22. Kruger National Park was constituted in 1926 from the Sabi and Shingwedzi game reserves and covers approximately 19,485 km2 under SANParks management.
23. The Makuleke were removed from the Pafuri area in 1969 and their land incorporated into Kruger National Park; a 1998 settlement restored roughly 25,000 hectares in title on condition of continued conservation use, with commercial rights to the community. South African protected areas were expanded through forced removals that post-1994 restitution law reopened as legal questions.
