Why Africa's Wildlife Is Unique

From the annual Great Migration of more than a million wildebeest across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem to the largest land animals on Earth roaming Kruger and the Okavango, Africa preserves megafauna and intact ecosystems found nowhere else. The continent contains the world's largest hot desert, its tallest free-standing mountain and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World — all within reach of the 54 countries mapped across this site.
