Africa's Wild Horizons

A rocky landscape, carved over eons by wind, water and fire, these are the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa. These imposing peaks are home to an incredible diversity of plants and animal.

The Namib Desert is a land of extremes, from icy ocean to baking sand. It takes toughness and adaptation to live in this desert, and only a special few can.

The Namib is the oldest desert in the world, hugging Africa's shoreline for over 400 kilometers. It is one of the most inhospitable habitats on earth.

On rocky islands off the coast of South Africa, thousands of creatures congregate to breed. Among these, huge colonies of cape gannets dominate.

The Eastern Cape Province is investing heavily in ecotourism and conservation as an alternative to fishing and commercial development.
