African Wildlife Parks

The top African wildlife countries include Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. The type and quality of safari varies greatly from country to country, and even from park to park within the same country.

In recent years Botswana has earned a reputation as perhaps the finest safari destination in Africa – offering a pristine, exclusive, un-crowded wilderness experience.

South Africa is the leader in providing the highest level of food, service and accommodations. Many Americans have realized this and are now vacationing in this "World Within One Country."

In addition to wildlife, Namibia has some of the most spectacular desert scenery in the world. It is famous for its stark beauty, diversity of tribes, and it is a geologist's and naturalist's paradise.

Zambia has small, personal safari camps offering a variety of active options, including walking and night drives in remote parks. Zimbabwe is the best country for escorted walking and canoe safaris, and shares magnificent Victoria Falls with Zambia. It's one thing to be driven up to an elephant, it is a completely different experience to walk and/or canoe up to one!

In Tanzania; between Africa's highest mountain, (Kilimanjaro) and Africa's largest lake (Victoria) lies one of the best game viewing areas on the continent. This region includes the world's largest un-flooded intact volcanic caldera (Ngorongoro) and the most famous wildlife park (the Serengeti), as well as Masai and Bushmen tribes.

Kenya is well known for the magnificent Serengeti Migration (shared with Tanzania) of more than one million wildebeest and zebra in the Masai Mara. The culture of the Masai, Samburu and other tribes contribute to making this a top safari destination.

Uganda and Rwanda are well known as the best destinations for trekking to see endangered mountain gorillas – one of the most exciting adventures available in all of Africa!
