            “LIONS, TIGERS & BEARS OH MY?”

When I ask what is your number one priority most will say, “I want to see
wildlife.” You won’t see tigers (go to Asia), bears (our National Parks are
good places) but on almost every safari you are going to see a myriad of
animals – Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Wildebeests, Hippos,
Leopards, Cheetahs, Baboons, Gazelles, Impalas, Vervet Monkeys,
Warthogs, Hyenas, not to mention many others that fill a 900 page guide
book. You will also see a huge variety of bird life including Ostriches,
Flamingos, Hawks, Eagles, Weaver Birds, Kites, Kingfishers and Bee Eaters.
But within that desire to see animals there are options as well and that
may help you narrow down where you want to go. Do you want to see
Gorillas? Then consider Rwanda or Uganda. Want to witness the Great
Wildebeest Migration? The Serengeti in Tanzania or the Maasai Mara in
Kenya is the place for you. Do you love elephants? Tarangire National
Park has the second densest population of elephants in Africa. Chobe
Park in Botswana, Southern Africa has the most.
