Africa Travel Information

A safari to Africa, especially a first time visit, is never complete without viewing African wild animals in their natural habitat – the national parks and game reserves.  There are hundreds of wildlife reserves in Africa, each of which offers a unique safari experience.  Any pick of the top five is therefore a subjective judgement. In my opinion however, there are some reserves that stand out from the crowd, and provide an excellent game watching experience. These are South Africa’s Kruger national park, Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya, Zambia’s South Luangwa national park, Selous game reserve in Tanzania, and Etosha national park in Namibia.
