Context

Kruger is one of Africa's largest game reserves—vast for a park, but small for a European country. Its elongated shape (360 km long) follows the Lebombo Mountains (E) and Lowveld savanna (W). England's compact, populous, and heavily modified landscape contrasts with Kruger's wilderness mandate.
