The African safari camps are tented dwellings that offer you accommodation during the tour to the various destinations and game reserves. Every visitor must include an African safari on their bucket list. One of the finest travel experiences is being able to see some of the most fascinating creatures in the world in their natural environment.
African safari camps
The ‘Big Five’—the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—can be encountered in a variety of contexts, from essential to purely incidental, but they are always delightful and unquestionably unforgettable. We have put up a top African safari list of the greatest National Parks & Reserves in Africa for a safari journey to help you pick your perfect safari destination.
- Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Maasai Mara (Masai Mara), which is located in southwest Kenya, is maybe the most well-liked safari location on the continent. It is a Maasai National Reserve, not a National Park, and the local county authorities are in charge of managing it.
It has more than 95 species of animals and more than 570 species of birds, making it one of Africa’s most diverse, magnificent, and stunning eco-systems together with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (cf. below).
The 1.5 million wildebeest that migrate through the Mara and cross the crocodile-infested Mara river (from July to October) as well as the large number of predators, including lions and cheetahs, who inhabit the reserve are what make it so well-known.
- Kidepo National Park, Uganda
Kidepo was established as a national park in 1962 and is located in the rocky, semi-arid valleys between Kenya’s and Sudan’s borders.
Although Kedipo National Park is the most remote in Uganda, those who undertake the lengthy trip there concur that it is also the most beautiful and one of Africa’s best wildernesses.
A savannah environment stretches from Apoka, in the center of the park, well beyond the gazetted area, in the direction of vistas framed by distant mountain ranges.
It is common to observe herds of elephants strolling elegantly down valleys as the hungry Kidepo lions hunt wandering herds of more than 4,000 buffalo (the park’s estimated overall population is 13,000).
- Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Many tourists have it on their bucket lists to see a wild gorilla in Rwanda, especially those who were moved to tears while seeing the film Gorillas In The Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey. Of all non-human primates, mountain gorillas are the most magnificent and, tragically, least common apes.
There are just 1000 of these amazing animals left in existence, and they are all located along the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A guided gorilla tracking can take two to ten hours, and once the gorillas are located, you can spend an hour with them.
- Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
The Serengeti, the oldest and most well-known national park in Tanzania, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently named the seventh wonder of the world. A 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra dramatic voyage that follows the rains in a race for survival while being devoured by deadly predators is the park’s yearly Great Migration, which has gained it prominence.
When you travel to the region during the right time of year, your chances of seeing a kill are fairly high. Either in June, when 40 km (25 miles) long columns of animals make their annual migration north through crocodile-infested waters, or in February, when they repopulate during a brief population explosion that results in more than 8,000 calves being born every day.
