  • Kruger Big 5 Geology Safari*
    KRUGER BIG 5 GEOLOGY SAFARI* Wes Gibbons 2019 This guide describes a self-drive tour of Kruger National Park that provides the opportunity not only for abundant wildlife viewing but also to learn about the geology underlying the scenery of the savanna. Many people seem to visit Kruger obsessed with the intention of photographing the “Big 5” (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhinoceros), completely unaware that there is another Big 5 waiting to be enjoyed in the rocks. So here it is: a Holiday Geology Guide to Kruger National Park. It is something of an adventure. If you have never visited Kruger before, then you are in for a treat. The route has been carefully chosen to maximise wildlife and scenic geology viewing, although note that this is mostly car seat geology as you can only leave your vehicle in a very few designated areas, and then at your own risk. Kruger is a zoo in which the humans are restricted to confined spaces, not the other animals. Rock exposure is generally poor across the deeply weathered and magnificently ancient African land surface, although there are notable exceptions in some parts of the park. The varied and beautiful landscapes found in the park however are a direct expression of the underlying geology which impacts on the scenery, soils, ecology and therefore wildlife distribution. The rocks range from some of the oldest found on planet Earth to relatively young sediments and volcanic lavas produced when Africa split from Antarctica during Jurassic supercontinental break-up and the world’s oceans as we know them began to form.

  • Community Perceptions of a Mine Recruitment Centre in Pafuri and the Development of a Cultural Heritage Site in the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE Community Perceptions of a mine recruitment centre in Pafuri and the development of a cultural heritage site in the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park Heidi Suzanne Hansen A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Johannesburg 2008 Declaration I declare that this Dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. _______________________________ Heidi Suzanne Hansen ________________ day of __________________ 2008 ii Abstract The TEBA recruitment centre in Pafuri has come under discussion and debate with the developments of the GLTP. The site has played a signficant role in the social and economic history of this dynamic permeable borderzone. Through documenting the experienced memory and meaning of the site on either side of the border, developments of the site as a heritage site in a Transboundary protected area have been considered. Ethnographic interviews were used to document these meanings. TEBA is a reminder of a prosperous past amidst the current desperate poverty and unemployment and with little faith in the government, the Kruger and Limpopo Parks, TEBA is looked to for the provision of employment. This lack of faith in the parks and their insensitivity towards the historical significance reflects the lack of real transformation in conservation philosophy that the Transfrontier Initiative claims to have achieved.

The private reserves and the KNP are next to each other and there are no fences between them, so the animals and birds roam freely. This is a vast area of land so the fauna and flora changes in different areas and the wildlife reside in parts which best suits their needs. In the Greater Kruger area, one can experience wildlife in isolated areas on open vehicle safaris. There are tours arranged which almost guarantee that you will see the “Big 5”in these areas and afterwards you can stay in some of the world’s top luxurious hotels and lodges. Page 6 The accommodation provided in the private reserves which are part of the Greater Kruger offer some of the best African experiences for international tourists. Alternatively, you can make reservations to stay in one of the chalets in the KNP and then make bookings to fly from Cape Town or drive from Johannesburg to visit a game reserve run by Sanparks.

  • KRUGER NATIONAL PARK – “MORE THAN FOOD for the SOUL” by Nadine Bolttler
    Page 1 MEMORABLE WILDLIFE ADVENTURES: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK – “MORE THAN FOOD FOR THE SOUL” By Nadine Bolttler When one mentions the Kruger National Park, images of Africa’s free roaming wildlife immediately pop into your mind and invariably those of the “Big 5”, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard, Lion and Buffalo. But this massive tract of magnificent land is not only home to these big creatures. With thanks to the visionary of great people such as Paul Kruger and James Stevenson-Hamilton, the rich diversity of animal, bird and plant species has been preserved for many years and the Kruger National Park is one of the largest sanctuaries on the African continent. There are rest camps, hides, picnic spots, wilderness and adventure trails, mountain bike trails, bush braais, guided walks, historical sites and even a golf course at Skukuza for the visitor to enjoy. The Park also has a unique cultural link with evidence of prehistoric man, stone age man and bushman like sites of the Albasini and Masorini ruins and Thulamela in the far Northern region, a stone walled site which dates back 450-500 years. Many historical tales have been told about settlers in the area and the “Jock of the Bushveld” route also traversed the Kruger in the 1800’s. Jock’s birthplace is marked along the Voortrekker Road which runs southeast of Pretoriuskop Camp. The bronze plaque commemorates the bravery and loyalty of this very special dog. The Park is a learning centre, educating people on how the bush operates and how the different cycles of the environment all play a role.
