Every safari-goer hopes to spot Africa's Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo). But did you know Southern Africa also offers a wealth of opportunities for birders to find equally coveted avian sightings? Expedition Leader Lorraine Doyle introduces us to some of the region's diverse birdlife, from colorful lilac-breasted rollers and malachite kingfishers to elegant grey crowned cranes and birds of prey like the African harrier-hawk. Learn about their biology, the roles they play in their ecosystems, and how you can spot them for yourself on our Southern Africa safaris.

With their spiky horns, adorable ears and wrinkled, armor-like hides, rhinos always make us smile. But the threats against them – primarily poaching and habitat loss – also provoke concern.

Plus, find out where to see rhinos in the wild and how sustainable tourism can aid conservation efforts.
