South Africa Wildlife Photo Gallery

The vegetation varies dramatically from the Wild Coast the inland Game parks and Nature reserves or farms and the hot dry open spaces of the interior.  Apart from the abundance of wildlife there is an abundance of rock art sites left us by the Bushmen for one to explore.

South Africa is quite justly proud of its rich natural heritage, which is being diligently protected in the many nature reserves and wildlife parks. The country is home to more than 300 mammal species, over 500 bird species, over 100 kinds of reptiles and countless insects.

Not all the animals are easy to watch. Besides the fact that many species are night-active, season, place, weather and, of course, luck play a part as well. To observe and photograph animals, always requires a lot of patience and also good lenses with a long focal distance. 

Explore the wildlife world of southern Africa, because the more you know about the animals, the more interesting it gets to watch them. We have collected some basic information and many good photos on the most frequently encountered species.  The following represents a small sample of the hundreds of thousands of species of wildlife found in southern Africa.
