Kruger National Park Reptile Species & Reptile Photo's From Kruger
The Kruger National Park plays host to 114 species of reptiles which include lizards, agamas, chameleons, tortoises, monitors, geckos, snakes and, of course, the Nile Crocodile. So many reptiles occur in the Kruger because of the wide variety of habitat and ecozones that make up the Kruger National Park and seeing these reptiles up close, or even just catching a glimpse of them, is an amazing experience. Below are photographs and names of the reptile species we have been able to capture on camera in the Kruger National Park, enjoy...
