2. Moremi Reserve
Botswana
The Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana is situated around the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO world heritage site and Africa's premier destination for an all inclusive luxury safari.
In addition to the Big Five, the reserve is home to large elephant herds, pods of Hippo and one of the last wild dog refuges in Africa.
The meandering waterways of the Delta attract wildlife to its banks and there's no better way to see them than up close and personal on a traditional canoe or Mokoro safari.
3. Kafue National Park
Zambia
Zambia may be considered the forgotten jewel of Africa but that's a good thing, because it means you can get an all-inclusive African safari for considerably better value than some of the more popular reserves, avoid crowds, enjoy the same abundance of wildlife and experience an unspoiled destination.
Kafue is Africa's second-largest game reserve with three rivers running through it attracting an incredible variety of wildlife including the Big 5, large hippo herds, big cats like lion, cheetah, leopard and many familiar favourites namely giraffe, zebra, hartebeest and more.
4. Chobe National Park
Botswana
The Chobe National Park in Botswana boasts two safari experiences in one destination, with a bushveld setting and a watery wilderness setting.
As Botswana's first national park the Chobe is teeming with wildlife and is additionally fed by the neighbouring Hwange National Park, which sees thousands of elephants crossing the plains each year.
The Chobe National Park is also in close proximity to Victoria Falls making it an ideal destination on a multi-stop all-inclusive African safari vacation.
5. Serengeti
Tanzania
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is most renowned as the location for The Great Animal Migration, where more than 2 million animals move in a circular pattern throughout the park, following the rains in search of greener grazing pastures.
This in turn attracts the predators who hunt them or as in the case of the crocodiles, wait patiently for the river crossings.
This game of hunter and prey creates one of Africa's most incredible wildlife spectacles, attracting visitors worldwide to the many camps and lodges where you can enjoy an all-inclusive African safari experience.
