2019 Wildlife Photo Competition Finalists
The Kariega Game Reserve 2019 Wildlife Photo Competition ran from 1 May 2018 until 30 April 2019. Kariega safari guests were invited to enter by uploading their favourite wildlife photographs to our Facebook page. As always we have been amazed at the talent of our guests and the quality of their wildlife images.
Our judges have had a challenging task to select the finalists from the 423 photographs that were submitted during the twelve months of the competition.
An entire year of magical wildlife photos through the lenses of our guests leaves one feeling overwhelmed at the awesome beauty of a Kariega safari. Thank you to everyone for submitting your photos, either by posting them on our Kariega Facebook page or emailing them to us. It is greatly appreciated.
