Here are the top four travel destinations in Africa: Tanzania-Serengeti NP During the annual migration, when the wildebeests and zebras pack_up and leave their living areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It"s a very good travel spot in Africa at other times of the year too but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the wonders of the natural world. Kenya-Masai Mara NP If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get good views for miles around.
