Here’s our selection of some of the most stunning wildlife footage shot at game reserves in South Africa. Most were taken at Kruger National Park, but some of the photos were taken at Addo National Park or along the Garden Route among other fascinating locations in South Africa

Covering a vast expanse of land over seven thousand square miles, the Kruger National Park is the place to go in South Africa for a lifetime safari experience. Because of its size the park contains six eco-systems, from open plains to forest, and is home to nearly 2,000 different species of plant. Amongst these, over 500 types of bird can be seen at different times of year and there are, of course, lots of different animals. The Big Five are all present and in numbers that dwarf the stocks of other parks. Over 25,000 buffalo, 2,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 10,000 elephants and countless grazing animals.
