AFRICAN WILD ANIMALS

Wild  Animals of Africa

Africa is a unique place of varied habitat and geography. It is the second largest continent of the world.   Africa is the only continent that stretches from the northern temperate region of the world  to the southern temperate region of the world.  This has created  a wonderful place for diverse types of animals to evolve for life in the arid and desert regions in the northern part of Africa, while other kinds of animals have evolved to live on the plains of the African savanna to the east and the dense jungles of the African rainforest  to the west.  Africa is home to the most wonderful and awe-inspiring wild animals on earth. There is no better way to enjoy this incredible wildlife than by taking an African adventure trip that includes a visit to one or more of Africa's National Parks.  These national parks were created to preserve the spectacular wildlife found on this magnificent continent.

It is a good idea to study the African wildlife before you go on your African Safari so that you can easily identify the different animals that you will see. Below is a list of African wild animals, each with a photo(s):
