HIGH HOPES

Who’d have realised how little we really know about the giraffe, that most iconic and engaging of African animals. The April issue of Africa Geographic offers fascinating and entertaining insights into recent, unexpectedly tricky giraffe research on just how many there actually are, their species and subspecies data, etc.

In addition, the issue features a truly amazing story on caecilians (creatures of a fearsome, toothy, subterranean amphibian persuasion), a heart-warming photo essay on a pride of lions and their cubs crossing the Savute Channel in Botswana, a make-you-want-to-get-yer-boots-on story hiking De Hel and much more. In fact, all the great wildlife and nature stories you’d expect from Africa Geographic.

And all beautifully illustrated with the magazine’s typical world-class photographs, of course.
