If you are looking for a true African experience, then you need to visit South Luangwa National Park in Zambia which is home of the “walking safari”. There are 60 different animal species, the rivers are filled with hippos and you may get to see prides of lions ranging up to 30 in size! There are also over 400 different bird species in this park alone. In the dry season the animals congregate around the waterholes, so you are sure to see an abundance of species.

If you want the classic African safari setting then the grasslands of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania will be the perfect destination for you. Here you can witness the migration of millions of wilderbeast, you may even be able to spot a lion kill, as you definitely have the landscape for it.

For a different type of safari then visit the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. Uganda is home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and many other mammals. In fact, almost half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas live here. Bwindi is also now a World Heritage site.
