"The Splendour of South Africa " a South Africa Travel Page by TheWanderingCamel

The chance to see the magnificent wildlife of Africa is probably the biggest drawcard of all. Kruger Park is the biggest and the best known of all South Africa's many game parks and animal reserves and a visit here is always a fantastic experience. Patience is a necessary virtue here and you have to be prepared to wait and be still as you watch at a waterhole (This one is actually in Botswana, not South Africa, but you can practice your waiting skills here - who knows what your reward will be).

To see the "Big 5" is everybody's aim, but there are many other species that inhabit the park - and none are more visible than the pretty impala. No matter how elusive the others may be - you can always count on seeing these graceful creatures.
