The world is rapidly losing a lot of its natural beauty and wildlife. In such a situation, safaris have become a god-sent miracle. Safaris are established in reserved areas, which help protect the local flora and fauna. They bring people closer to the wild, letting them live in luxury, surrounded by scenes that once surrounded their ancestors, discovering what it means to live in the midst of nature.

The world is filled with stunning safari parks that will completely blow your mind. Here are the top 4 safari parks you must definitely visit in your lifetime.

Serengeti National Park

Tanzania lies in the heart of Africa, and has some of the most stunning views the world has to offer. The Serengeti National Park is home to quite a large portion of these beautiful panoramas. This national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it’s home to some unique flora and fauna, and a number of local tribes that have resided in the area for hundreds of years.

There are a number of matchless attractions within the national park. There’s an annual wildebeest migration which happens between January and August that will make you feel like you’re in a nature documentary. You can take a safari into the park to view lions, gazelles, and zebras any time you want. You can even take a hot air balloon over the plains, and get a bird’s eye view of the action going on below.

The Serengeti is untamed, wild, and unpredictable. This safari is a once in a lifetime experience you will always cherish.

Ngorongoro Crater

In the four billion years the Earth has existed, a number of meteors have crashed into its surface. Some meteors have even shaped the structure of our planet. One such meteor created the Tanzanian caldera in which the Ngorongoro Park is located. This crater is one of the world’s largest, and more uniquely, one of the rare calderas not filled with water.

When you visit the Ngorongoro Crater, you will be able to spot the endless plains surrounded by 500-meter-tall walls formed eons ago. This is one of Africa’s most popular safari destinations, and it’s easy to see why. The valley draws a number of large and small animals the year around, and this will be your main attraction during the safari. Ngorongoro Park has dozens of different species for you to observe: from lions to black rhinos to leopards, wildebeests, hyenas, and buffaloes.

This particular safari is unique because it gives you an opportunity to observe and interact with the Maasai and other tribes that have resided in the area for centuries. It’ll be a unique and enriching experience you do not want to miss out on!

Kidepo Valley National Park

This is probably the most remote national park on this list, but it’s here for good reason. Located in Uganda, the Kidepo Valley National Park, bordering South Sudan and Kenya, offers magnificent views, and big game spotting opportunities. Over 70 mammal species, and 400 bird species call this part of the African savannah their home, and you’ll definitely have a lot of fun trying to spot all these different species. Be sure to pack your binoculars for this one.

A safari at Kidepo is best done between January and May, and from October to December, as there won’t be rain. You can strap yourself into your jeep, and prepare for a long session of big-game viewing, and bird-spotting. The area has been inhabited by Dodoth and Ik people for a long time, so you can engage in their history and culture as well. The resorts and hotels surrounding the area are quite stunning, and staff will definitely pamper you after a long day on the savannah. What are you waiting for? Get your tickets to Uganda immediately.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a unique place. Not only is it incredibly remote (it’s 450 kilometers from the nearest big city of Alice Springs), it’s also a cultural and biodiversity hotspot. It’s home to the world famous Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock), and is home to the Anangu, the traditional Aboriginal owners of this land.

A safari through this national park is an experience like no other. You can observe animals and plants you cannot see anywhere else in the world, while enjoying the isolation and peace that comes with the location of the park. Camp out in the Australian outback, and keep your eyes open for lizards, moles, and the world-famous wallabies. There are some safaris that let you explore the underground city of Coober Pedy, so keep an eye out for that one too.

Safaris let you disconnect from the busy world full of stress and deadlines, and help you reconnect with nature and the small things that really matter. So, lay back, explore, and enjoy the most beautiful safaris the world has to offer. We’ve found that Bookmundi is a good place to start finding and booking your next safari.
