Its assortment of species includes gazelles, African buffalo, rhinos, lions, giraffes, hippopotamus and other African species in Kruger National Park and other national parks. Its largest city, Johannesburg, has a population of over 9 million, and the second largest, Cape Town, is a cosmopolitan city of over 4 million.
