Kruger National Park Celebrates 100 Years of Conservation Excellence

Minister Willie Aucamp reflects on a century of protecting South Africa's natural heritage

SKUKUZA – The Kruger National Park marked a historic milestone this week as Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Willie Aucamp, led centenary celebrations honouring 100 years of conservation, scientific research and tourism in one of the world's most renowned protected landscapes.

The event brought together government leaders, SANParks officials, traditional authorities and key stakeholders to commemorate a century of environmental stewardship at the iconic park, which has become a global symbol of wildlife preservation.

Speaking at the celebrations, Minister Aucamp reflected on the delicate balance that has shaped the park's evolution over the past century.

"For 100 years, the Kruger National Park has been defined by a careful balance between conservation, scientific research and tourism," Aucamp said. "These three pillars have defined Kruger's development and contributed to its global reputation as a leading conservation area."

The Minister described the park as far more than a protected area, calling it "a living classroom, a source of inspiration, and a national treasure that has shaped the lives of generations of South Africans."

Stretching nearly two million hectares across Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces, the Kruger National Park is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including the famed Big Five, and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually from around the globe.

Aucamp emphasised that the park's significance extends beyond biodiversity protection to encompass deep cultural and emotional value for the nation.

"The legacy of Kruger must be preserved for future generations," he said. "Its importance extends beyond conservation to its cultural and emotional significance for our country."

As the centenary celebrations continue, SANParks officials reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the park's world-class conservation standards while expanding community involvement and sustainable tourism initiatives for the next 100 years.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Saturday, 30 May 2026, address the official launch of the Kruger National Park (KNP) Centenary Commemoration at Skukuza Rest Camp in Mpumalanga.

The year 2026 marks a significant milestone in South Africa’s conservation history as Kruger National Park commemorates 100 years since its formal proclamation in 1926.

Held under the theme, “Our Heritage, Our Future,” the centenary commemorations will reflect on a century of conservation leadership, biodiversity protection, scientific progress, tourism development and heritage management.

This milestone also reaffirms the country’s commitment to environmental sustainability, inclusivity and shared heritage.

The centenary further provides an opportunity to honour the generations of rangers, scientists, communities, conservationists and leaders who contributed to the development and protection of one of the world’s most renowned protected areas.

The commemoration highlights the importance of collaborative partnerships in conservation, tourism and environmental sustainability, as well as the resilience and recovery of the Park following recent flooding that affected infrastructure, tourism operations and surrounding communities.

Kruger National Park remains one of South Africa’s leading conservation and tourism assets and continues to contribute significantly to biodiversity conservation, research, economic development and job creation.

Phola SAPS Youth Crime Prevention Desk Child Protection Week awareness at Sukumani Primary School

PHOLA: Each year, the South African Police Service conducts the Child Protection Week awareness initiative that emphasises the fundamental rights of children. This initiative promote the idea that safeguarding children is a collective responsibility, aiming to rally communities and society as a whole to prevent child abuse, exploitation and neglect.

Consequently, on Friday, 2026/05/22 at 07:30am, Phola SAPS proceeded with the educational tour focused on child protection at Sukumani Primary School alongside the Youth Crime Prevention Desk, Community Policing Forum (CPF), and the Foundation for Victims of Crime (FOVOC).

As a result, learners were informed about the constitutional rights of children and the particular threats they encounter, such as violence, neglect, cyber safety and how to recognise and report abuse. Finally, Serg. Petros Ntuli stressed that government agencies cannot do this alone, so families, neighbors and community organisations need to collaborate to build secure, supportive surroundings.

Consequently, learners participated in a range of activities during the event, including poetry recitals, choir performances, and posters focusing on the Child Protection issue.

The event was conducted successfully.

Ends.
