A
There are hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to. Here are the top four travel destinations in Africa:
Tanzania—Serengeti National Park
During the yearly migration(迁徙), when the wildebeests and zebras pack up and leave their living areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It’s a very good travel spot, for migration here has been ranked as a wonder of the natural world.
Kenya—Masai Mara National Park
If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best. There are lots of lions, leopards and cheetahs, and they are relatively easy to see because you can get good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going off-road is allowed and it is a big advantage because the animals will rarely follow you and stay next to the major roads.
South Africa—Kruger National Park
For the variety of species no other place in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is well equipped, too.
Zambia—South Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful place in the crown(王冠) of prime Africa trips. It has been considered as one of the best places in Africa to see the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel.
