South Africa and Mozambique create a conservation park

In 1991 South Africa and Mozambique began discussions which  led to the creation of a conservation park which includes the Kruger National Park.  Named after President Paul Kruger, the Kruger National Park became a living memorial to Paul Kruger and those who have upheld his vision of a protected wilderness. It is now one of the largest conservation parks in the world.
