Wildlife Parks in South Africa

One of the oldest and largest nature reserves in South Africa is the Kruger National Park. The park features a range of game and bird life throughout numerous habitats.

Cape Town is a popular area for tourists and Table Mountain National Park can be found here. Named after the famous Table Mountain, this park ranges across 60 km of land, which includes the Peninsula mountain chain from Signal Hill to Cape Point.

In KwaZulu Natal you will find Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve. This is actually three reserves combined in one. Hluhluwe and Imfolozi were founded in 1895 and Corridor reserve was founded in 1989. This reserve covers 96,000 ha of land.

Addo Elephant National Park is located in a great area just near Port Elizabeth. This area is malaria free and safe to visit. This park offers a range of game and outdoor and cultural activities.

If you want to see miles of rolling sand dunes and a scattered range of trees and grassland then you need to visit Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This is a very untamed area that is unique and mysterious.

The fourth largest wildlife park in South Africa is Pilanesberg National Park. This park covers 55,000 ha and is in an interesting location. The park is located on the remains of an old volcanic crater, which happens to be one of only three such volcanic craters in the world.

The Marakele National Park lies right in the Waterberg Mountains. It features the mountain landscape and various breaks of grassy hills and deep valleys. Here you can see large game and an abundant variety of birdlife.

On a rocky coastline you will find Tsitsikamma national Park. This wild area has a range of scenery, from quiet tidal pools to green forests. The name means many waters and that is what you will see in this park. For more information please visit African Wildlife

A Ramsar site, an internationally important wetland is located in the West Coast National Park. It is a place where migrating species come from the north to spend the summer in the warm climate of South Africa.

At the bottom of the Outeniqua Mountains you will find the Wilderness National Park. This park holds lakes, rivers, lagoons and forests. Also here among the various landscapes you will find white beaches and a beautiful seascape.

If you want to see an amazing variety of some of the most spectacular succulents in the world then you should head to the Richtersveld National Park. This area is said to have more succulents than anywhere else in the world.

Protection of the mountain zebra was the main aim for the creation of Mountain Zebra National Park. With mountains, ravines and plateaus, this park features a variety of aloe species and flowering plants.

Wildlife Creations Q&A

Wildlife is truly God's beautiful creations, what in your opinion is the most beautiful bird or animal that

you are in awe of?

I agree there are a lot of magnificent creatures, everything from butterflies to African birds (parrots etc.), the peacock, tigers/leapards/lions/zebras/giraffes.

Owls are very creepy to me yet amazing creatures none-the-less. (In Italy they have no screens and I had one perched on my window each night...all you could see was those eerie eyes! LOL)

I guess if I had to pick one I would say BUTTERFLIES however. There are so many species and they are indeed very beautiful and fragile.
