KRUGER PARK'S RECORD SEASON The 1936 season of Kruger ParkSouth Africa’s famous game sanctuary where motorists may see herds of all kinds of animals—has proved to be easily the most successful in its history. Final statistics reveal that during the season, which ended on October 31, 29,334 visitors entered the park, as compared with 24,805 last year. In 1927, -when the park was first thrown open to the public as a national game sanctuary, only three cars entered its gates.
