Capture the beauty of nature with SANBI this Nature Photography Day

In celebration of Nature Photography Day on 15 June 2025, the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) invites all garden lovers, nature enthusiasts, and photography fans to take part in a special campaign, to capture nature’s wonders.

Nature Photography Day is a global moment that celebrates the breath-taking beauty of the natural world. People across the globe will be turning their lenses toward nature, and SANBI is making it easy for South Africans to join in and celebrate local biodiversity.

To enter, simply visit any SANBI botanical or zoological garden between now and 20 June 2025. While you're there, take a photo that captures the essence of the space, whether it’s a blooming flower, a towering tree, a playful primate, or a peaceful moment by a pond.

Share your photo on Instagram, Facebook, or X using the hashtag , and tag SANBI along with the garden you visited.

There’s something special in store. One winner will receive a SANBI Gardens membership for two people, giving them free entry to their favourite garden for an entire year.
