21 September 1991
Two Southern African countries, South Africa and Mozambique began discussions which led to the creation of a cross-border conservation park which will include the Kruger National Park.  Named after President Paul Kruger, the Kruger National Park became a living memorial to Paul Kruger and those who have upheld his vision of a protected wilderness. It is now one of the largest conservation parks in the world.
