South Africa is often the first choice for visitors to Africa thanks to its sheer amount of safari lodges, national parks and wildlife viewing opportunities. This country is vast and full of great national parks to experience the Big 5 up close, so it is little wonder this is the most visited country in Africa for a safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you might be wondering, is it the best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For first time safari-goers, yes. South Africa offers the best introductory safari experience and is a great starting point to explore Africa. Plus, you&#8217;ll be able to make the most of a city stopover in Johannesburg and if you fancy, add a visit to Cape Town onto the end of your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/ultimate-south-african-safari-checking-singita-boulders\/\">Checking In to Singita Boulders Safari Lodge<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"San Camp Botswana | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-43039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1889.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Brooke_Saward_Sable alley Botswana | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-43079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-Alley-3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sable alley Botswana | World of Wanderlust\" class=\"wp-image-43080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Sable-alley.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-ivory-lodge-lion-sands-game-reserve\"><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Botswana<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Botswana is personally my favourite country to go on a safari.

And my top pick for a safari in East Africa is to visit Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Particularly if you can time your visit during the Great Migration, an annual wildlife event where animals cross from the Maasai Mara in Kenya to the neighbouring Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Early in the year is also a great opportunity to see newborns, with baby giraffes and baby elephants being particularly enjoyable to watch experiencing the world for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/the-12-best-bathtubs-in-africa\/\">These are the 12 best bathtubs in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1132\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/giraffe-manor-kenya.jpeg\" alt=\"giraffe-manor-kenya\" class=\"wp-image-53894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/giraffe-manor-kenya.jpeg 1132w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/giraffe-manor-kenya-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/giraffe-manor-kenya-800x534.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1132px) 100vw, 1132px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cottars Safari Camp Kenya | World of Wanderlust\" class=\"wp-image-44562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-scaled.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Cottars-8-700x1050.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bateleur Camp Kenya | WORLD OF WANDERLUST\" class=\"wp-image-44641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-scaled.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bateleur-700x1050.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-royal-malewane-thorny-bush-game-reserve\"><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Kenya<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming in closely alongside with Tanzania is neighbouring Kenya.

This country is a mecca for dry deserts, sand dunes, and the desert creatures that come along with it. So, where should you go on a safari in Namibia? If you want a completely unique experience in the desert dunes, head over to Sossusvlei. This is where you will find Namibia&#8217;s iconic red sand dunes, vast open landscapes and dry heat. For a more traditional safari, head straight to Etosha National Park where you will encounter much more wildlife than a visit to the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Thorntree-Zambia.jpg\" alt=\"Thorntree Zambia\" class=\"wp-image-48479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Thorntree-Zambia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Thorntree-Zambia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Thorntree-Zambia-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Thorntree Lodge Zambia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-tree-tops-safari-lodge-lalibela-game-reserve\"><strong>6.

And with that risk of the unknown comes great reward! Zambia is home to the Victoria Falls, an incredible waterfall on the Zambezi River with an impressive width of 1708 metres. There are also many great parks to experience a safari and an abundance of wildlife surrounding the falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-1440x2160.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria Falls\" class=\"wp-image-50850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-1440x2160.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jason-zhao-hdsY-INDuvk-unsplash-800x1200.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption>via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@tmapigoti?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-tree-tops-safari-lodge-lalibela-game-reserve\"><strong>7.<\/strong> <strong>Zimbabwe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbabwe might not be your first thought for going on safari, but for travelers who are looking for something out of the ordinary and surprisingly spectacular, Zimbabwe (or &#8220;Zim&#8221; as it is affectionately known) is a great choice.
