This beautiful and varied country is the finest wildlife habitat in Africa. The country consists of an area of 352,720 square miles and has a relatively small human population, resulting in large wilderness areas with abundant game. The country and terrain vary enormously, from semi-desert in the North East, to open plains and thorn bush in the North; swamps in the North West; to Miombo woodland throughout the country. This unusual diversity creates ideal habitat for the widest variety of wildlife to be found anywhere in Africa.
