What’s life without adventures? One of the craziest things you can ever do is go on an African safari. These trips are adrenaline-filled, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Take a look at the top locations you should consider.

Maasai Mara, Kenya

This is probably currently the most popular location in Africa for safari trips. The period between July and October is the time of the year when all the animals migrate, so the chances of seeing a huge group of them are very high.

'I lean into my horse’s neck as her gallop quickens. The herd swerves to the left as my mare expertly follows, gaining ground on a couple of tail-end zebras. My hands tighten on the reins as I encourage her deep into the stampeding herd of zebra. Stripes of black and white move in a cryptic wave around me. Impala leap hysterically into the air, eland stampede and giraffes dance awkwardly on the outskirts of the herd. The thundering noise of hooves hitting the ground is deafening and the heady smell of dirt and horse sweat swirls in the air as my mare tugs on the bit. This is Kenya on horseback.' Throwing it back to the very beginning – to Globetrotting founder Kate Pilcher's life-changing ride in the Maasai Mara, Kenya in 2010.

Kruger National Park, South Africa

This is one of the oldest African safari locations that every single adventurer has to go to. It is an amazing place where you can see literally every animal you’ve ever dreamed of. It is a bit dangerous when you think of it better, but there’s nothing quite like the thrill of being close to a leopard.

Chobe National Park, Botswana

Another stunning location, known for the high number of elephants and Cape buffalos.

Roars, snorts, trumpets, squeals, whoops, and chirps all have meaning derived over eons of expression… We have yet to become fluent in the language – and music – of the wild 🐘❤️. 🇪🇸 Hay un lenguaje ahí afuera, el lenguaje de lo salvaje. Los rugidos, los resoplidos, las trompas, los chillidos, los gritos y los chirridos tienen un significado derivado de eones de expresión … Aún tenemos que ser fluidos en el lenguaje, y en la música, del salvaje 🐘❤️. . #beautifulworldandme #botswana #chobenationalpark #africatravel #earthvacations #womentravel #africa #safari #elefante #elephant #travelblogger #travel #viajar #viaje #viajes #instatravel #travelgram #mytravelgram #traveler #backpacker #traveling #travelling #wanderlust #ilovetravel #travelphotography
