South Africa Wildlife
South Africa is perhaps most famous for its beautiful abundance of wildlife, and so it should be. There is such incredible variety of mammals, birds, plants, insects and marine life that the hardest part of enjoying such natural riches is usually trying to decide where to start. Well, we can't make that choice any easier for you but we can whet your appetite with a few stunning photographs of these natural beauties.
Below is a gallery of pictures focusing mainly on the country's spectacular big five - the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and buffalo. Each of these magnificent creatures have become the focus of legends, fanciful tales, romantic stories of Africa, photographic exhibitions and have otherwise earned their place at the top of South Africans most visited attractions. They are the generally considered to be the most fantastic animals that can be seen while on a safari due to the animals size, grace and the danger involved with getting so close to these animals in their wild state. However, remember that South Africa is full of wild animals, mysteries and natural beauty and keep an eye out for the many other fine creatures that this country is happy to care for.
