Fauna and flora on a real mapWhere our species are recorded

This map lines up 306 of our 291 wild species with real-world observation records from GBIF, the open global biodiversity database. It shows why South Africa is our first place to visit, not our limit: the same species carry on across Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique and up into East Africa, and every other continent needs a library of its own.

Countries with 3 or more human observations on GBIF.org (fetched 18 Oct 2026), per species or summed over the library. Records include introduced and garden plants, so a few species show far outside their native range. The Waterberg cycad has no public records: its locations are hidden to protect it from poachers.

Behaviour

Herds grazing and browsing, drinking at waterholes, and keeping their distance when you come too close.

Seasons

Calves and young, breeding colours, winter coats, and trees that green up and drop their leaves.
