On 30 March 1898, President Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger of the South African Republic issued a proclamation establishing a Government Game Reserve in the Eastern Transvaal between the Crocodile and Sabi Rivers. In 1903 the Shingwedzi Game Reserve lying north of the Groot Letaba River was added, and these two reserves became the Union's first national park, the Kruger National Park, in 1926.
