In Search of the Big 5

An African safari is an unforgettable adventure that immerses you in the world of wildlife and allows you to see animals in their natural habitat. Travelers often seek the well known Big 5 — elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard. If you dream of an African safari, here are the 5 best places to enjoy breathtaking views and diverse wildlife!

Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Masai Mara is one of the most majestic wildlife reserves in Africa and the most popular among visitors to Kenya. Here you can observe countless herds of animals, including zebras, gazelles, buffalo and elephants, and also follow the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, which takes place here from August to October, before moving to the Serengeti in November. It is also famous for hot air balloon rides over the savannah and meetings with the Maasai. Interesting fact: the famous movie "Out of Africa" starring Meryl Streep was filmed here.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Another renowned safari destination, Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, is famous for its diverse wildlife and vast savannahs. It is considered the best park for observing lions. Unsurprisingly, Animal Planet and National Geographic frequently film their programs here. You can choose from jeep safaris, horseback safaris, airplane safaris, and night safaris to observe wildlife in the dark. The most unique experience is a hot air balloon safari at sunrise!

Chobe National Park, Botswana

Chobe is one of Botswana's most famous parks, known for its large elephant population, currently numbering around 50,000. The concentration of animals in this area surpasses that of any other national park in Africa. In Chobe, you can see four of the Big 5: elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo.
