South Africa is home to a number of rare and elusive mammals that are a sight to behold if you’re lucky enough to spot them. One such animal is the African wild dog, a highly social predator that has suffered due to habitat loss and human encroachment. Other notable species include the pangolin, a scaly anteater, and the aardvark, a burrowing creature that spends most of its time underground.
In birding terms South Africa is a must for both the world lister and the leisure birder. For the leisure birder it’s a wonderfully diverse destination in which to see a lot of birds as well as some of Africa’s iconic mammal species in a seemingly endless array of habitat types.
