  Kraal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kraal (also spelt craal or kraul) is an Afrikaans word for either an enclosure for horses, cattle and the like, or a native village surrounded by a palisade, mud wall, or other fencing, roughly circular in form.
The term has been more broadly used to describe the way of life associated with the kraal that is found among some African, especially South African, peoples.
Among certain peoples of KwaZulu Natal, for example, the kraal consists of a collection of huts.

 The Slaying of Piet Retief - Brief History of South Africa
The kraal contained four cattle kraals, which were also strongly fenced, and four huts erected on pole, which contained the arms of the troops.
With these cattle they approached the kraal of Dingaan, to whom they delivered them: and at the same time expressed their earnest desire that peace might exist between the king and the emigrant farmers, whom they now represented.
Retief a short time after this entered the kraal, accompanied by the other farmers and all their servants, with the exception of one or two, who were sent out to fetch the horses; their aims being left unguarded under the two milk-trees without the kasal.

 Destiny - David McKissock
Without a seconds thought Kraal obeyed the command, dropping to one knee, he was just in time as a bolter shell raced through the air previously occupied by his head, a wet squelch and a shriek of pain showed that the loyalist sneaking up behind him had not been so lucky.
Kraal glanced up and then wished he had not, his masters body was constantly in flux, writhing and wreathing, as his body started to accommodate and change to accept his elevation to daemonhood, wings that were growing daily sprouted from just below and out from the base of his neck.
Kraal forced himself to his feet just in time to watch the two sides pause, a matter of feet from each other, Kraal wondered why until he felt the nausea, his master was coming to join the battle.

Rhodes who, on the ruins of Lobengula's royal kraal at Bulawayo, built Government House, and in the vicinity, laid out the streets and avenues of what was intended soon to become a great city.
At one time Bulawayo had a population of some 7000 white inhabitants and seemed to be fulfilling the dreams of its founder when its progress and that of the whole country was cut short by the cattle pest, the native rebellion of 1896, and by years of stagnation and inactivity consequent upon the Boer War.
There are other stations of more recent date at Salisbury, Driefontein, Hama's Kraal, and Mzondo, near Victoria, all under the charge of the Jesuit Fathers.

 San Diego Zoo's Animal Profiles for Kids: Barasingha
When Bonnie was born at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park in July 1990, keepers noticed that her mom wasn’t treating her the way a mother deer usually treats her fawn.
It was decided that good-natured Bonnie would make a great addition to the Park’s Petting Kraal, where guests could interact with her.
Bonnie has such a calming influence on the other animals in the Kraal that when she lies down, she’s often immediately surrounded by Eld’s deer who lie down next to her, apparently feeling better just being in Bonnie’s presence.
