Kruger National Park is named after Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic (Transvaal) from 1883 to 1900. He played a significant role in the establishment of the park, originally created in 1898 as the Sabie Game Reserve, to protect the region's wildlife. The park was later renamed in his honor, reflecting his efforts to conserve the natural heritage of the area.
