One of the best parts of travelling<\/g> to Africa<\/a> is being able to see its amazing wildlife in their natural habitats with your own eyes, and one of the best places to do that is in a national park. Africa is home to an astonishing number of national parks, which help preserve the diverse species that live in these areas, many of which face extinction, and are integral to the continent\u2019s conservation efforts. Visiting these parks is a great way to learn about these efforts while taking in truly awe-inspiring wildlife and scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the savannahs of the Serengeti to the forests of Bwindi, there are so many options to choose from, each with something different to offer. Read on to see which park you should visit on your next African wildlife adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n

1.Serengeti National Park, Tanzania <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go for: the Great Wildebeest Migration <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Serengeti National Park is home to your quintessential African savannah landscape \u2013 acacia trees and roaming wild animals dot its expansive open plain. One of the most well-known of Africa\u2019s national parks, it\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the Big Five animals \u2013 elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, and buffalo. Great wildlife sightings are a given here, but the Serengeti\u2019s main draw is the Great Wildebeest Migration, an annual ecological event where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other game animals migrate in search of fresh pasture. Their journey takes them eight hundred kilometers through the park towards the contiguous Maasai Mara National Reserve,<\/g> and is a phenomenal sight that shouldn\u2019t be missed on any visit to the Serengeti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etosha National Park<\/a> is one of the most important wildlife reserves in Africa, and many rare and endangered species are preserved within its borders. Here, you\u2019ll have the chance to see the black rhino, as well as the tallest elephants in Africa. The park has a wide range of landscapes and varying geology, with its grasslands, salt pans, and dolomite hills.

Go for: South Africa\u2019s most accessible park<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kruger National Park is one of the most popular national parks in Africa for a couple of reasons. As one of Africa\u2019s biggest national parks, it receives a high volume of visitors every year, but it\u2019s also known for the webcams that capture a live feed of the park\u2019s wildlife. It\u2019s also well-equipped for self-drive safaris and luxury lodging,<\/g> if you\u2019re looking to view the Big Five in style.

Go for: a lush forest refuge<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Known for its biodiversity, this tropical national park is one of Africa\u2019s most special conservation areas. The park is situated on steep terrain on the edge of the Albertine Rift,<\/g> and is the last remaining habitat for the highly endangered mountain gorillas that live within it. Bwindi is home to half the world\u2019s remaining mountain gorilla population, and as one of the only places in the world where you can visit them in the wild: it\u2019s not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for: a unique ecosystem on the Okavango Delta <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Moremi Game Reserve encompasses one third<\/g> of the Okavango Delta, which gives it uniquely varying landscapes. From riverine forests to vast savannahs, there\u2019s no shortage of wonderful ecosystems here, which means that there are more unconventional ways to view the area.

6. South Luangwa National Park, Zambia <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go for: walking safaris <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In South Luangwa National Park, you\u2019ll find an incredible variety of animals and scenery in a well-preserved setting. The park\u2019s more remote location means that it\u2019s less traveled, resulting in a more unspoiled and authentic experience. South Luangwa is believed to have originated walking safaris, which are popular here. Visit this park for views of hippos crowded in the river and amazing birdwatching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hwange National Park is the largest reserve in Zimbabwe. Located on the edge of the Kalahari desert, it is best known for its vast elephant population, and for having the highest population of wild dogs in<\/g> the continent. While you\u2019re there, be sure to make a trip to Victoria Falls, the world\u2019s largest waterfall and one of the world\u2019s greatest natural wonders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go for: ancient desert dunes<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because the Namib is the oldest desert in the world, the dunes you see are composed of sand that is millions of years old. Namib-Naukluft National Park is the meeting point of the Namib Desert on the west and the Naukluft Mountains in the east. Here, you\u2019ll see a unique collection of creatures that are able to survive the extremely dry conditions and call the area home, like snakes, geckos, and hyenas. The Sossusvlei clay and salt pan is one of the major attractions of the park; visitors<\/g> flock there to see the salt-infused sand stand in contrast from the rich orange dunes around it. If the desert fascinates you, this is the park to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go for: Flamingo-filled shores <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the colour<\/g> orange brings Namib-Naukluft National Park to mind, then pink should conjure Lake Nakuru and its surrounding national park. At any given time, its shores are inundated by huge numbers of pink flamingos, attracted by a feast of algae that thrives in the lake\u2019s alkaline waters. The park is a sanctuary for the black rhino and home to a large population of giraffes, cheetahs, and leopards. With a number of unique bird species in the area, it\u2019s no wonder Lake Nakuru is known as the \u201cbird watcher\u2019s paradise.\u201d

10. Amboseli National Park, Kenya <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go for: elephants against views of Mount Kilimanjaro <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amboseli National Park is one of the most exceptional places for wildlife viewing in Africa. Its large swamp system makes for a unique ecosystem that\u2019s home to hundreds of different species of birds, like pelicans and crakes. Originally created as a reserve for the Maasai, the park is a great place to learn about the Maasai and visit their villages. It\u2019s also the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants, and see them against the immense backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
