Where is Kruger National Park?

Rangers at Kruger National Park will stage a demonstration of their ranger-y skills tomorrow, and three tourist access roads near Malelane will be closed down. Why? The rangers plan to fire some live ammunition. Things should be back to normal by noon.

That's not the only danger in the park, though. African buffalo, rhinos, cheetahs and hippos all roam Kruger, which covers an area larger than Connecticut. Also worth avoiding are the poachers that hunt in the area. South African news site IOL reports that hundreds animals have been killed in the park in the past four years.
