This new, thoroughly revised edition of Bradt's Southern Africa Wildlife guide provides an overview of all southern African wildlife - not only 'big game' and other large mammals, but also birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Excellent for independent travellers, it is reliable as a standalone guide combining both wildlife and visitor information, and is also a perfect complement to traditional field guides. Countries covered include Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini and Zimbabwe, with Malawi and Zambia both added to this new edition.

Colour photographs illustrate all key species and the engaging text extends beyond basic identification features to illuminate the natural history and ecology of the wildlife that visitors will encounter. Text has been updated throughout to reflect the latest conservation initiatives and wildlife population figures. Included are a practical guide to tracks and signs, plus top tips for optimising your wildlife experience, as well as a 'where to go' overview which outlines the key wildlife attractions of each country and, together with a seasonal highlights calendar, enables visitors to plan a safari that suits their interests.

This updated Bradt Zimbabwe guidebook, now in a fifth edition, remains the only detailed, standalone guide from a major publisher to cover one of the premier safari and cultural destinations in southern Africa.

Best known for the Victoria Falls, which leaves visitors awed by the world’s largest curtain of falling water, Zimbabwe offers manifold other experiences for the intrepid traveller – from evocative wildlife to fascinating arts, jaw-dropping landscapes to astonishing World Heritage Sites.

Soak up the laid-back atmosphere of the capital, Harare, with its bustling arts scene and trendy restaurants, or head to the mighty Zambezi River for fast-flowing adventure. Visit national parks that offer a variety of wildlife encounters: enjoy canoe-based game-viewing at Mana Pools (where African wild dog is a highlight) or remote camping beside rare nyala antelope in the wilderness of Gonarezhou.

Capitalise on the exciting revival of Matusadona, which boasts one of Africa’s highest densities of leopard, or combine watching white and black rhinos with admiring the world’s greatest concentration of ancient hunter-gatherer rock art, at Matobo Hills.

History buffs will marvel at Zimbabwe’s plethora of historical and cultural sites, most famously the World Heritage-listed, stone-built, ancient cities of Great Zimbabwe and Khami, the latter once controlling a lucrative international trading empire. Birdwatchers, meanwhile, will delight in a trove of avian encounters, notably in Bunga’s lush forests, one of Zimbabwe’s best-kept secrets.
