From the wild and wonderful nature of Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, to the best of both sea and bush in South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia, the area is a top choice offering several experiences, from wildlife encounters to adventure excursions. National parks and game reserves offer ample opportunity to get up close and personal with the famed Big Five—the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. A myriad of other mammals, reptiles and bird species will keep binoculars and cameras pointing in all directions.
Highlights on the wildlife trail in Southern Africa include the Kruger National Park in South Africa, Chobe National Park in Botswana, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in Botswana and South Africa, Etosha National Park in Namibia, South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.
