The public has voted and the South African National Parks (SANParks) announced the overall and category winners of their Annual Photo Competition that shows off South African nature's best side.
Every year, the conservation authority hosts a competition that gives the Parks’ visitors a chance to showcase the spectacular moments they've captured while enjoying our country's natural splendour.
