2020 Facebook Photo Competition Finalists
(no comments)
Our 2020 Facebook Photo Competition finalists have been selected! It was a very tough decision for our judges to choose the finalists from the 665 photographs submitted by guests between 1 May 2019 and 30 April 2020.
We have been amazed at the talent of our Kariega safari guests who uploaded their favourite wildlife photographs to our Facebook page over the past twelve months. An entire year of magical wildlife photos through the lenses of our guests leaves one feeling awed at the incredible beauty of a Kariega safari.
Thank you to everyone for submitting your photos. We remain delighted by our annual Facebook Photo Competition.
