David Rogers heads our team of contributors on our special feature on National Parks. He is a Cape Town-based photo-journalist who specialises in Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. As senior photo-journalist at Getaway magazine he had more than 100 features published and won numerous awards for his work. His words and pictures have also appeared in Geo, Conde Naste Traveller and the Financial Times and he has contributed to half a dozen books on African travel, including the Reader's Digest Guide to Game Parks of Southern Africa.

"Nowhere else in Africa will you find such a great mix of game, scenery and visitor facilities as in South Africa's National Parks," he said. "Lesotho is much wilder - but there are changes afoot."
