I’ve been on African safaris that were simply amazing.1 Luck is a part of it, but what’s really key is how good your guide is. Besides being thrilling, game drives offer the speed and distance needed to see wild dog in Madikwe or follow the stunning Makgadikgadi zebra movement. Some animals are safer to observe from a vehicle, like getting near the Central Kalahari’s black-maned lions without making them anxious.
Guides who know their stuff get you near without causing stress to the animals, including the leopards and large cats in Kruger. It’s wonderful to see many animals at once, like the elephant gatherings in Samburu or observing Zimbabwe’s expansive packs. Specific places in Africa are famous for certain animal sightings, like Addo for elephants and Amboseli for those near Kilimanjaro.
