Southern/Cape Giraffe in Kruger National Park South Africa. "There are three main groupings of true giraffes i.e. those that occur in central-western Africa, those that occur near the Horn of Africa and those that occur from the equator south to South Africa. There are nine sub-species of giraffes. The only subspecies that occurs in South Africa is the southern giraffe. The subspecies differ mainly in slight changes to the lattice patterning on the body. In the southern giraffe the older males often get darker and darker with age and some of the big bulls in our area have almost black patches interspersed with paler bands." Reference:
