Named after the Maasai people, this spectacular eco-system is home to every member of the legendary &#8216;Big 5&#8217;: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and rhinos. Therefore, it&#8217;s considered the best destination for African safaris. Over 95 mammal species and 570 recorded bird species can be spotted on safari in the Maasai Mara.<\/p>\n<p>Vast grasslands, interspersed by seasonal rivers, characterise the landscape of this reserve. The Maasai Mara is a great choice for a wildlife tour at any time of year, but if you visit in July or August you can witness one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/blog\/the-great-migration\/\">Great Migration<\/a>! If you travel to the Maasai Mara at this time of year you&#8217;ll be able to watch the unfolding spectacle of the largest mammal migration on earth as millions of wildebeest, zebras and other herd animals arrive in Kenya from Tanzania in search of fresh grazing grounds.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kruger_National_Park_South_Africa\"><\/span>Kruger National Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/africa\/south-africa\/south-africa\">South Africa<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Kruger-BLOG-safaris.png\" alt=\"Lions in Kruger National Park\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the largest game reserves in Africa, Kruger National Park encompasses an area of 7,576 square miles. Known for its large population of lions and elephants, Kruger offers one of the most exciting African safaris imaginable. In fact, it plays host to all members of the &#8216;Big 5&#8217;. Furthermore, this vast national park is home to many lodges and safari camps. Kruger offers comfortable accommodation in the midst of Africa&#8217;s most exciting ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>One of the unique experiences you can enjoy at Kruger National Park is taking a walking wildlife tour through the bush. Instead of heading out on a game drive, give a bush walk a try. Accompanied by a professional guide, a bush walk is an unmissable highlight if you travel to Kruger. Alternatively, night-time game drives give you the chance to witness nocturnal wildlife such as genets and owls.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chobe_National_Park_Botswana\"><\/span>Chobe National Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/africa\/south-africa\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Chobe-BLOG-safaris.png\" alt=\"Chobe National Park African Safaris\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Named after the river that forms the park&#8217;s northern boundary, Chobe National Park is a paradise for wildlife lovers, Chobe is famed for its huge elephant herds and lion prides. Furthermore, it&#8217;s not unusual to witness lions hunting elephants in Chobe National Park. Thanks to the extensive waterways, the landscape is incredibly lush, with rich vegetation inviting a diverse mix of animal and birdlife. The Chobe Riverfront is an important watering hole and the most popular area of the park for game drives. As well as lions and elephants, there are also large populations of Cape buffalo, antelopes and giraffes.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Chobe National Park is situated close to the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe and the legendary Victoria Falls. Combining African safaris in Chobe with a sightseeing trip to Victoria Falls is a great idea!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bwindi_Impenetrable_National_Park_Uganda\"><\/span>Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/africa\/east-africa\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bwindi-BLOG-safaris.png\" alt=\"Bwindi Impenetrable National Park\" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although Bwindi Impenetrable National Park does not offer the usual safari experience, it is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. Nestled in the depths of these mist-covered primaeval forests are half of the world&#8217;s population of mountain gorillas! An endangered species, around 400 mountain gorillas live in Bwindi. Sandwiched between plains and mountains, this vast woodland is also a sanctuary for Colobus monkeys, chimpanzees and rare birdlife species.<\/p>\n<p>Gorilla tracking excursions are the most popular way to experience this rich ecosystem. In order to preserve the environment and limit wildlife disruption, only a limited number of tracking permits are available. Typically, gorilla tracking excursions include a guided walk with a professional guide who is able to locate gorilla families within the park. Once the group are located, visitors are able to spend up to one hour observing the interactions and daily lives of these amazing, endangered animals. Surely, one of the most exciting wildlife tours on earth!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etosha_National_Park_Namibia\"><\/span>Etosha National Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/us\/africa\/south-africa\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Etosha-BLOG-safaris.png\" alt=\"Etosha National Park \" width=\"690\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Situated in northwest Namibia, Etosha stands out as a unique African safari destination.
