The 20 Best Safaris in the World

For the adventure seeking traveler, just the mention of the word 'safari' is enough to stir up powerful images in our heads. We envision the lush wet season plains stretching as far as the eye can see, hear the lions roar, and feel the excitement course through our body as we daydream about upcoming safari holidays. To see African wild animals locked in the never ending struggle between predator and prey in their natural habitat is a heart-pounding experience that will long be remembered. It is here, in the world's best game reserves where the dream safari becomes an unforgettable reality, and we become immersed in cycle of life that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

With such a large amount of information about African safari trips to pour through, it can be a daunting task trying to decide on the right safari for you.
