Few achievements in South Africa’s conservation history can rival that of Colonel James Stevenson-Hamilton, whose career of 45 years at the helm cemented the Kruger National Park as one of the world’s premier conservation areas. If you’d like to learn more about Stevenson-Hamilton and the Kruger’s formative years, have a look at our special post on Skukuza.
“Achievement” is this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme.

45 years??!!!! That’s an entire lifetime! Definitely an achievement no matter how you look at it. Thanks for sharing this very interesting take on the challenge moreso because conservation of what we have today is important in making sure we have something for the future.
Very true words Gale, thank you!

Ek salueer hom. Kan net dink hoe maer my eie lewe sou gewees het sonder die pragtige Kruger Nationale park.
Jy praat Spokie! Dit sou behoorlik “woes en leeg” gewees het!
Dankie tog vir sulke mense,anders het ons vandag geen natuurerfenis oorgehad nie!
Wat n jammerte sou dit nie wees nie! En nogtans is daar elke dag steeds n stryd om ons natuurskatte te beveilig. Dink maar aan die voorgestelde oopgroef steenkoolmyn wat hulle nou reg op die Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park se grens wil begin, om nie te praat van die renosterslagting nie.
Ek wil huil oor sulke goed!Alles gaan oor geld en vraatsug.
Ons gaan ons fout uitvind wanneer dit te laat is…
