Southern Africa is home to some of the world’s most majestic animals, along with the world’s largest transboundary protected region to help conserve wild expanses. In 2011, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe came together to formally recognize a 106-million-acre region in Africa’s Kavango and Zambezi river basins as a protected wildlife area.

Photograph Southern Africa’s wildest landscapes, abundant game and charismatic predators on our Botswana & Namibia Photo Expedition, an epic safari into the richest wildlife enclaves of two African countries. Each subject is more arresting than the last, from Africa’s largest elephant herds to the world’s tallest sand dunes in the Namib Desert.
