The fascinating, yet sometimes misunderstood lizards of Africa are unique and diverse in shape, size and colour. The Africa Lizard Guide is the ideal source of information pertaining to these scaly and tiny reptiles who are often found sunning on a rock or scavenging for insects through the dusty hills of the bushveld.
The Kruger National Park is home to various colorful lizards and geckos who are hard to find but fantastic to glimpse while on a guided safari walk or game drive. If you are a reptilian enthusiast, ask your game ranger to point out the park's small and elusive cold-blooded animals who you'll probably see on a sunny rock or shaded tree.
