South African National Parks (SANParks) is the body responsible for managing South Africa's national parks. SANParks was formed in 1926, and currently manages 19 parks consisting of 3751113 ha, over 3% of the total area of South Africa. Many parks offer a variety of accommodations. The best known park is Kruger National Park, which is also the oldest (proclaimed in 1898), and the largest, at nearly 2000000 ha. Kruger National Park and Table Mountain National Park are two of South Africa's most visited tourist attractions. Though not designated as National Parks, other protected areas exist, such as game and nature reserves.
