40 minutes west of Johannesburg is Krugersdorp game reserve where you can see animals such as rhinos, giraffes and antelopes.
The lions are kept in an enclosure to separate them from the other animals which would normally be prey in the wild. This provided excellent photographic opportunities without the need to track them as would be the case in the bigger reserves. For anyone visiting Johannesburg, perhaps to see the FIFA World Cup 2010, this reserve provides an ideal taster of being on safari if Kruger or Pilanesburg is too far to travel in the time available. There are lodges and camping sites in the game park for those who wish to extend their stay.

Bush fires are common in South Africa and unfortunately humans are often casualties. 
This lone springbok was seen walking among the burnt grass after the flames were extinguished. This bush fire seemed to have transformed the area into an apocalyptic landscape which was amazing to experience.
