The use of digital elevation models has proven to be crucial in a large number of studies related to savanna ecosystem research. However, the insufficient spatial resolution of the input data is often considered to be a limiting factor when conducting local to regional ecosystem analysis. The elevation models and orthorectified imagery created in this dataset represent the first wall-to-wall digital elevation products of the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa at 25 cm pixel posting. In the light of regular flight campaigns carried out by the South African government, the workflow of the presented data sets can be reused to create height models and orthorectified images of a vulnerable ecosystem in the future. Flight campaigns were carried out by GeoSpace International, Pretoria. Data processing and preparation as well as validation of the final products was carried out by Kai Heckel (Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany) with the strong support of all co-authors of the related study. The methodology is described in the following publication: Heckel, K.; Urban, M.; Bouffard, J.-S.; Baade, J.; Boucher, P.; Davies, A.; Hockridge, E.G.; Lück, W.; Ziemer, J.; Smit, I.; Jacobs, B.; Norris-Rogers, M.; Schmullius, C.
