10 of the Best National Parks in Africa
"Evoking vast golden plains, blazing sunsets with solitary acacia trees, and dramatic wildlife scenes, this park is synonymous with the Great Migration — think hundreds of wildebeests plunging into the waters of the Mara River and cheetahs stretching their legs on wide-open plains. Bordering Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve, it's often considered the less crowded of the two iconic destinations (in part because it's bigger) and is a great place to see big-cat action; leopards here can be relaxed enough to allow vehicles to get close." - Heather Richardson Heather Richardson Heather Richardson is a journalist based in Cape Town, South Africa.
