Let’s face it, Africa and its wildlife go hand in hand, so chances are you will be doing a game drive. There are no shortages of places to do this, from East to South, the continent offers some fantastic private reserves and local national parks. The private reserves are a great option as they have guided drives with rangers and trackers that can not only be informative but know just how to find the wildlife, giving an up close encounter with some of Africa’s unique animals. The national parks are also accessible by self-drive so you can go at your own pace. Time your visit with the Great Wildebeest Migration which is best viewed in Kenya from July to October.
