Kruger Nasionale Park is een van Afrika se grootste wildreservate.

Dis geleë in die Mpumalanga en Limpopo provinsies in die noordoostelike deel van Suid-Afrika.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Republiek het aanvanklik begin om dele van die gebied te beskerm in 1898 en in 1926 het dit die volk se eerste nasionale park geword.

Die park is geflank deur die volk van Zimbabwe na die noorde toe, die land van Mosambiek na die ooste en die Limpopo- en Krokodilrivier loop langs die buiterande van die park aan die noordelike en suidelike kante, onderskeidelik.

Die Lebomboberge lê op die rand van die park na die ooste en die westelike grens loop parallel met die bergreeks.

Daar is ook verskeie riviere wat vloei deur die park: die Limpopo, die Krokodil, die Olifants, die Sabie, die Luvuhu en die Letaba.

Die enigste Suid-Afrikaanse dorp wat lê op die grens van die Kruger Wildtuin is Phalaborwa, wat geleë is in die Limpopo provinsie.

Kruger behoort aan die Groot Limpopo Oorgrenspark, wat 'n vredespark is wat die Kruger verbind met Zimbabwe se Gonarezhou Nasionale Park en Mosambiek se Limpopo Nasionale Park.

Kruger Nasionale Park behoort ook aan die Canyons Biosfeer wat UNESCO aangewys het as 'n Internasionale Mens en Biosfeer Reservaat.

Die plantegroei in die Kruger Nasionale Park word geklassifiseer in vier gebiede binne die grense van die park.

Die eerste is die suidelike sentrale streek vanaf die westelike skeidslyn en suid van die Olifantsrivier, wat rooi kierieklappers en doringbome insluit.

Akasias is ook algemeen in die gebied.

Die tweede is die suidoostelike gedeelte van die park, wat oordadige grond het vir weiding, knoppiesdorings en maroelaveld.

Die derde is die noordwestelike deel van die park, wat die tuiste is van volop mopanieveld en rooi kierieklapper. Die vierde is die noordoostelike deel wat weer struik mopanieveld in oorvloed het.

Kruger National Park is one of Africa's biggest game reserves.

It's located in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces in the northeastern part of South Africa.

The South African Republic initially started protecting parts of the area in 1898, and in 1926, it became the nation's first national park.

The park is flanked by the nation of Zimbabwe to the north and the country of Mozambique to the east, and the Limpopo and Crocodile Rivers run along the perimeters of the park on the north and south sides, respectively.

The Lebombo Mountains lie on the periphery of the park to the east, and the western border runs parallel to the mountain range.

There are also several rivers running through the park: the Limpopo, the Crocodile, the Olifants, the Sabie, the Luvuhu, and the Letaba.

The only South African town that sits on the border of Kruger is Phalaborwa, which is located in the province of Limpopo.

Kruger belongs to the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, which is a peace park that connects Kruger with Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou National Park and Mozambique's Limpopo National Park.

Kruger National Park also belongs to the Canyons Biosphere, which UNESCO has designated as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve.

The vegetation in Kruger National Park is classified into four areas within the confines of the park.

The first is the southern central region from the western dividing line and south of the Olifants River, which includes red bush-willows and thorn trees.

Acacias are also prevalent in the area.

The second is the southeastern part of the park, which holds fulsome land for grazing, knob-thorns, and marula veld.

The third is the northwestern part of the park, which is home to copious amou [...]

Johannesburg is Suid-Afrika se grootste stad en die hoofstad van Gauteng provinsie.

Dit is ook een van die wêreld se 50 grootste stedelike agglomerasies en die grootste stad in die wêreld wat nie geleë is op water van watter aard ook al nie (oseaan, meer of rivier).

Baie beskou Johannesburg as die ekonomiese setel van Afrika, aangesien dit een van Afrika se mees gegoede, modieuse en moderne stede is.

Die stadsbeeld is gevul met sommige van die hoogste geboue op die vasteland, insluitende die Carltonsentrum, Hillbrow-toring, die Sentech-toring, Ponte woonstelle en Diagonaalstraat 11.

Meeste van die geboue in die stad is redelik nuut, want die ouer geboue is afgebreek om plek te maak vir meer moderne strukture.

Johannesburg is ook noemenswaardig omdat sommige van die wêreld se grootste internasionale maatskappye en konglomerasies teenwoordig is hier, insluitende IBM, BHP Billiton, Standardbank en (Eerste) Nasionale Bank.

Behalwe vir al die hoë geboue, het Johannesburg ook 'n paar parke wat verstommend is met 'n oorweldigende aantal bome.

Om die waarheid te sê, die stad word beskou as een van die wêreld se groenste stede, want dit het ongeveer 6 miljoen bome. Dit sluit die 1.2 miljoen bome in wat geplant is langs sypaadjies en geplaveide areas en nog 4.8 miljoen wat te vinde is in privaattuine.

Soos met die meeste groot stede is daar 'n wye versameling van mense wat daar bly, met 'n paar gebiede wat luukse wonings bied in die voorstede. Ander het weer plakkers en krotdorpe, terwyl daar 'n paar is met iets van alles tussenin.

Die grootte van die plakkerbevolking in Johannesburg is aansienlik, aangesien baie migrante geskuif het vanaf die landelike gebiede rondom na die stad om te kom soek vir werk.

Johannesburg is South Africa's largest city and Gauteng province's capital.

It's also one of the world's 50 biggest urban agglomerations and the biggest city in the world that doesn't sit on water of any kind (ocean, lake, or river).

Many consider Johannesburg to be the economic seat of Africa as it is one of Africa's most affluent, modish, and modern cities.

The cityscape is filled with some of the tallest buildings on the continent, including the Carlton Centre, Hillbrow Tower, the Sentech Tower, Ponte City Apartments, and 11 Diagonal Street.

Most of the buildings in the city are newer because the older ones were torn down to make way for more modern structures.

Johannesburg is also noteworthy because some of the world's largest international companies and conglomerations have presences there, including IBM, BHP Billiton, Standard Bank, and National Bank.

In addition to all the tall buildings, Johannesburg also has some astounding parks with a stupendous number of trees.

In fact, the city is considered to be one of the world's greenest cities because it has about 6 million trees, including 1.2 million that are planted along sidewalks and paved areas and another 4.8 million trees that are located in private gardens.

As with most major cities, there's a wide assemblage of people living there, with some areas offering luxurious homes in the suburbs, others holding squatters and shanty towns, and still others having everything else in between.

The size of the squatter population in Johannesburg is significant as many migrants have moved from the rural surrounding areas into the city to look for work.
