South Africa

Officially listed as one of the most biologically diverse countries on earth, South Africa is made up of a staggering variety of landscapes and habitats. From near-desert on the west coast to sub-alpine scrub at the top of the Drakensberg at 3000 meters above sea-level, the unique Fynbos in the Cape and the savanna of the north-east, the visitor to South Africa will be enthralled by constantly changing landscapes. This diversity lends itself to an incredibly rich fauna and flora component, making South Africa a particularly exciting destination for the birder and natural history enthusiast.
