Huge Kruger park, a photo from Mpumalanga, East

Photographer's Note

This game reserve is the largest in South Africa: it stretches 350 kilometers and 60 kilometers wide. 147 species of mammals live in freedom, this protected reserve was created in 1926.
A territory of bush and savannah where we can observe the animals by walking the tracks and in particular to see the "Big Five" (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, rhinoceros), but in a territory so huge, it is necessary to look for them and be lucky ... it's not a zoo!
Here, near this pond a flock of African Buffalo, there are about 25,000 in all the Kruger.

Hi Jean
A great panoramic view. From your photos you did have the "bit of luck" and saw plenty of wildlife.
cheers

Hi Jean

The eroded granite dome looks like Bald Rock in northern NSW, only I wouldn't go swimming in the water on account of crocodiles or Hippos. The solitary sentinel bird in the tree makes a good focal point. Tfs!

Bonjour, cher Jean,
Tu fais bien de le rappeler ces r駸erves ne sont pas un zoo et il faut aller chercher les animaux.
Mais, j'imagine le plaisir que l'on doit 駱rouver en voyant les animaux profiter ainsi dans leur espace naturel.
La photo est belle.
Amiti駸.
Philippe

Hello Jean,

When the game reserve is so big then it can be difficult to be in the right place at the right time. Usually, the pools are the places where the meeting with the animals is the most probable. Have you seen Big Five? In Etosha, in Namibia, I saw a lot of animals but unfortunately, not leopard.

KInd regards MAlgo

Hello Jean,
Excellent panoramic view from Kruger Game Park that I had the pleasure of visiting some thirty years ago. The herd of buffalo makes a great focal point and is nicely observed across the pleasantly illuminated lake with its lovely reflections. Well exposed with well rendered colours and good sharpness.

Bonjour Jean,
I think Kruger Park is one of the oldest wildlife parks in the world. I can still remember the photos and stories from my earliest childhood.
This is a beautiful peaceful image with the buffalo quietly drinking from this pool, but who knows, there is a lion hiding in the bushes.
Excellent work
Have a nice Sunday, groet Rob

Bonjour Jean,

J'appr馗ie les reflets sur l'eau. La prise de vue permet de voir les d騁ails de la montagne, des arbres et des buffles. La lumi鑽e donne de belles teintes aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne journ馥.

Hi Jean.
Sensational view of this National Park, ideal perpsective with the varied vegetation and a mountain in the distance, the beautiful foreground with this pond with beautiful reflections and the herd of buffalo drinking is ideal.
Very beautiful colorful, in a few tones, very attractive.
Well done. My congratulations.
All the best and have a good start to the week.
Luis.

Hi Jean
Lovely image this one your title says it all. Great shot and so wonderful place to see them roaming free well so to speak in a reserve but certainly better than a zoo I must add.
Excellent shot, Congrats

Nice view of the reserve, with those big mammals drinking water, and the nice reflections enriching the composition. Very well done, my friend!

Bonjour Jean,
beautiful view. I am actually less into animals and more into landscapes so this one is more interesting for me as the animals are a great decoration of the beautiful natural scenery here.
Great use of the water aspect in the foreground.
Fantastic trip, great reportage
