A fabulous open-air zoo
The Big Five (African lion, African elephant, African buffalo, black rhinoceros and African leopard) may have become over the decades the group of animals most sought after by tourists, the wildlife of southern and eastern Africa is of course not limited to these five totems.
Many other felines (cheetahs, leopards, servals, African lynx, etc.), the largest land mammals (giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, rhinos, hippopotamuses, etc.) as well as dozens of other species (antelopes, hyenas, wild dogs, pangolins, elands, meerkat, monkeys...) and hundreds of species of birds (flamingos, pelicans, waders, African ostrich, vultures, etc.) inhabit its various and numerous ecosystems. It is the largest open-air zoo on the planet !
