Kruger National Park
Without doubt Kruger Park is a premier game viewing destination with an estimated 1500 lion, 17 000 elephants as well as 48 000 buffalo and 1 000 leopards.
But let’s take a look at Kruger’s vegetation.
Boasting some 336 tree species, the most common are the baobab, knob thorn, natal mahogany, leadwood and marula.
One of my favourites is the sausage tree (kigelia africana).
The fruit is unmistakable with its long and cylindrical form (up to 50cm long) and 10cm in diameter and a greyish brown colour.
The fruits are not edible but are eaten by baboons and bushpigs.
Elephants and kudu will eat the leaves and the flowers are enjoyed by the nyala and primates.
Marula is another tree prevalent throughout the park. A large variety of wildlife will eat the fruit and leaves.
