The Kruger National Park in South Africa is an enormous nature reserve (2 000 000 hectares) stretching 350 kilmeters (217.4 miles) along the Mozambican border and being 60 kilometers (37.2 miles) wide on average.
In general most of the park exists out of flat grass and bush covered plains. Better known in South Africa as the savanna or bosveld. The border with Moçambique is clear because of the always-present Lebombo mountain range that forms a natural barrier.
There are a number of rivers flowing from east to west within the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Being the Limpopo, Luvuvhu, Shingwedzi, Letaba, Olifants, Timbavati, Sabie and Crocodile river from north to south.
