South Africa 3: Kruger Game Park, Londolozi, and Lost City

Part of the Series: Exploring the World Series: Africa

Kruger Game Park is one of the most renowned wildlife reserves in the world, and the oldest in Africa. It was named after the President of the former South African Republic, Paul Kruger, who in 1898 established a protected area for the wildlife in the Lowveld region. Londolozi, which in Zulu means "protector of living things" is another excellent safari destination, and has grown to become one of Africa's finest game reserves. From the real jungle we travel next to a fantasy world of Africa's jungles, visiting the incomparable "Palace of the Lost City." Legend tells the palace was built as the royal residence of an ancient civilization and was destroyed by an earthquake; now it has been restored as one of world's most extraordinary hotels in remote Sun City. Entering the palace we see a life-sized model of South Africa's most famous elephant, Shawu.
