Skukuza

Skukuza is the administrative headquarters and main camp of the Kruger National Park. Skukuza is a shortened word for Sikhukhuza in the local Shangaan language. Skukuza was given by the local Tsonga Shangaan people as a nickname for James Stevenson-Hamilton. It could be translated as 'a new broom', as Stevenson-Hamilton swept the area clean of poachers and outlaws.
