South Africa's new national park
South Africa's newly proclaimed Mokala National Park, situated south-west of Kimberley in the Northern Cape, offers visitors an abundance of game and a wide range of accommodation options and activities.
Africa's 'super-park' takes shape
South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe have opened a new border crossing as the project to create the world's biggest animal kingdom - a 35 000 square kilometre transfrontier park spanning all three countries - picks up momentum.
Watching the right whale
Every year southern right whales migrate from their icy feeding grounds off Antarctica to warmer climates, reaching South Africa in June. Then the coastal waters teem with the giant animals, mating, calving and rearing their young - and giving whale-watchers spectacular displays of raw power and elegant water acrobatics.
Riding an African elephant
While Indian elephants have long carried people on their backs, riding their wilder African cousins has traditionally been seen as dangerous. But with animals raised by humans, elephant-back safaris are quite safe - and the perfect way to move silently through the bush viewing game.
