An African safari encompasses a variety of landscapes from open
savanna to tropical forest. In addition to the iconic lion, giraffe,
elephant and zebra, the continent is home to over 50 species of antelope,
over 30 primates, more than 40 large and small predators, as well
as heavy-weight rhinos, hippo and buffalo, and a host of other fascinating
creatures. This is not to mention over 1000
bird species
and
an astonishing diversity of plants in a bewildering variety of ecosystems.
Without your help, this could all be in danger of serious depletion if not extinction.
By embarking on a responsible safari in Africa you can help with the following:
the expansion and linkage of protected areas in the Greater St
Lucia region of South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province,
adjacent to CC Africa's flagship Phinda Private Game Reserve

health, water-provision and rural development projects around
