According to a new report, these are the six most beautiful national parks in the world, with the Kruger national park coming in at first place. 

Here is a gallery of some of the landscape photographs that we, the authors of the Photographer's Guide to the Greater Kruger National Park, have captured on our many visits to the world-famous Kruger National Park.

If you struggle to find suitable landscape spots on your safaris or you feel your landscape images are not impressive, then this eBook is for you! We have been visiting the Kruger Park for more than twenty years and finding appropriate landscape spots is not easy!

Many of the high viewpoints are bushy or are far away from the camps so you need to get creative with your landscape photography! In this eBook we provide all our tips and techniques on our favorite landscape locations - viewpoints, from inside the camps and while in your car on a game drive - and how to best photograph them.

"...the majority of images are really impressive, each chosen for a practical reason, sometimes annotated to stress a point.

The authors clearly know what they are doing. For decades they have mapped their sightings, and in explaining how they achieved their images, they’re sharing invaluable tips on understanding wildlife behavior, reading the signs and getting yourself in the best position for the shot. 
There is a phenomenal wealth of information here; real substance."

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
