Kruger National Park is the largest, most famous and most visited of South Africa's national parks. It has a great diversity of wildlife and flora, with birds and trees being two areas of particular interest. Game viewing is done mostly from vehicles that are not allowed to leave the road. Therefore, close-up viewing of lion kills etc is really the exception rather than the rule. Likewise, a good leopard sighting is rare (unlike private game reserves that allow up to three off-road vehicles to approach a single animal, and where one can see and photograph multiple animals in one day). What makes Kruger special for photography is the diversity of habitats and subject material, and its unpredictability.
