African Wildlife

what taking a safari is all about…

We do have a whole African animal section on SafarisAfricana, but this African Wildlife blog category is more for the lists and fun stuff.

This is where you’ll find article on things like the fastest land animals, the wild cats of Africa, big cats of the world, info on African animal migrations (yes, including the big one!), and so much more… including testing yourself on the correct collective nouns for African animals, and birds!
