Smallest national parks in Africa
Africa's smallest parks in the catalogue are chiefly South African nature reserves and East African islands and reefs: the Robberg peninsula, Helderberg above Somerset West, Groenkloof in Pretoria, Ndere Island in Lake Victoria, the Watamu and Sainte Anne marine parks, and Serra Malagueta in Cape Verde. None has the Big Five; all can be enjoyed on foot or by boat in a few hours, which is a welcome change on a trip otherwise spent in vehicles.
