The Balule Reserve covers over 100,000 acres of wooded savannah in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It is a vast, open space within the Greater Kruger National Park, home to some of the world's most charismatic megafauna, including lions, elephants and the endangered white and black rhinoceroses.
