[edit] Nearest City
The Infobox says the nearest city is Johannesburg but Nelspruit is a city and it is right on Krugers doorstep--Jcw69 15:11, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- It did strike me as odd the first time I saw that. Joburg is nowhere near Kruger Park, relatively speaking. Also, the location is listed as "Transvaal". Seeing as this is now out-of-date info, it should be updated with the correct province(s) (I think Mpumalanga and Limpopo, but I'm not the expert). Zunaid 15:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Skukuza, where the head office is based, is in Mpumalanga. I will change the infobox since no-one is objecting--Jcw69 10:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nyala count

[edit] Safety?
*All the Big Five game animals are found at Kruger National Park, which protects over 147 species of mammals. As of 2004, the park has counted approximately: ... * 2,000 Lions
* Wilderness trails - The seven walking trails offer 3 nights of bush solitude in areas of wilderness virtually untouched by humans. There are no set trails in the wilderness areas; you walk along paths made by animals or seek out new routes through the bush.
Is there possibly a safety problem in this park? Is it a good idea to go on a nature walk in a park with 2,000 predatory animals, not counting other wild cats? -Rolypolyman 08:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
There is not a safety problem in the park. I've been on one of those walks. You're surrounded by armed gamekeepers, bright lights, you're constantly near the car and it's a very beaten path, regardless of what the article states. Lions aren't stupid, they know not to mess. I'd be more worried about the 12k elephants, to be honest. MetricSuperstar 01:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] White Rhinos
That figure seems extremely high, do we have a source for it? MetricSuperstar 01:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
