Rescuing Rhinoceros, Kruger National Park, South Africa
|
This area lies in the western half of the park, north of the Olifants River. The two most prominent species there are the red bush-willow (Combretum apiculatum) and the mopane tree (Colophospernum mopane).
• Shrub mopane veld
Shrub mopane covers almost the entire north-eastern part of the park.
There are a number of smaller areas in the park which carry distinctive vegetation such as Pretoriuskop where the sickle bush and the silver cluster-leaf (Terminalia sericae) are prominent. The sandveld communities near Punda Maria are equally definitive, with a wide variety of unique species.
