Tips for a jungle safari

Pack appropriately.

Remember to pack clothing in neutral colours as well as warm layering pieces like down jackets, long sleeve tops, and hats for those chilly early morning game-viewing drives.

Hire a guide

Having a tour guide can make your jungle safari experience better for a number of reasons. The main benefit? Guides can easily navigate through areas with wildlife and potentially predict (or estimate) where animals might be located.

Bring water & snacks

Snacks and water are essential for those long stretches in between wildlife sightings (just be sure to properly dispose of any rubbish in national parks and reserves).

Things to consider before booking a jungle safari

When should you go on your jungle safari.

The most important factor to consider when booking a jungle safari is the time of year you plan to travel. In India, several parks — including Ranthambore National Park — close during the monsoon season (between July and September), so remember to keep this in mind when finalising your travel plans. If you choose to go on an  African jungle safari  you have more flexibility - although it's more comfortable to trek during dry season.

What jungle safari animals do you want to see?

Do you have your heart set on seeing tigers in the wild, or does your dream jungle safari include tracking critically endangered mountain gorillas? The wildlife you most want to see will ultimately help you decide on a destination. Check out the best tiger safaris and gorilla trekkings . 

What level of activity are you looking for?

Certain jungle safaris — like gorilla trekking in Uganda, for example — can be physically challenging, requiring a moderate level of fitness, so it’s best to take this into consideration prior to booking.

What type of accommodation do you prefer?

Are you looking to stay in a luxurious lodge or at a budget-friendly campsite? A range of accommodation options are available, but they will vary depending on your destination and the tour operator you choose to book with.

15 Animals to See on an African Safari

The word "Africa" is an evocative one that usually goes hand-in-hand with mental images of vast savanna plains dotted with exotic game. The majority of overseas visitors to Africa will go on  safari and, in doing so, discover that there is nothing more magical than a close encounter with the continent's incredible wildlife. Most of the species one sees on safari are unique to Africa, and many of them are instantly recognizable. In this article, we look at 15 of the continent's most iconic animals, including those that make up the African Big Five . 

TripSavvy / Felicia Martinez

To see a lion in its natural habitat is one of the most humbling, impressive sights an African safari can offer. However, while witnessing a kill is the ultimate prize, you're more likely to see one sleeping than in active pursuit of dinner. Lions spend up to 20 hours a day at rest and are most active at dusk and dawn. They are the most social of all wild cat species, living in prides consisting of between five and 10 adult lions. Tragically, lions are threatened by human expansion throughout Africa, with experts prophesying that populations could fall by as much as five percent in the next 20 years.

Best Places to See Lions: Head to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on the border of South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana; or to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park during the wildebeest migration. 

There is nothing quite like the first time you see an  African elephant  in the wild. As the largest living terrestrial animal on Earth, their size alone is overwhelming; but many visitors also find themselves drawn by the elephants' tangible aura of wisdom. Elephants are found in various sub-Saharan habitats, including forests, deserts, and savanna. They are herbivorous, processing up to 600 pounds of vegetation per day. Although most elephants are peaceful by nature, they can be dangerous if provoked; however, they are far more at risk from humans than we are from them. 

Best Places to See Elephants: Vast elephant herds roam Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park in Botswana. 

As the tallest animal on Earth, you'd think that giraffes would be easy to spot on safari. However, their distinctive brown and white markings serve as excellent camouflage, and it's not unusual for giraffes to materialize out of the bush just a few feet away. There are nine subspecies found across sub-Saharan Africa, all of which boast blue tongues, stubby horn-like protrusions on their heads, and of course, outrageously long necks. To drink without losing consciousness, the giraffe's neck contains unique veins and valves that regulate the flow of blood to its head. 

Best Places to See Giraffes: Spot large herds of Masai giraffe in the Serengeti, or head to Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda to see the endangered Rothschild's giraffe. 

The elusive  African leopard  is a subspecies of leopard found only in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite its wide range, leopards are among the most difficult of all safari animals to see, as they are both nocturnal and exceptionally wary of humans. Leopards use trees as observation platforms and for protection, and that is where they are most often spotted during daylight hours. They are solitary animals with exceptional predatory skills, including the ability to climb, swim, and drag prey weighing up to three times their body weight up into the trees. Leopards are classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. 

Best Places to See Leopards: South Africa's Sabi Sands Game Reserve and South Luangwa National Park in Zambia are famous for leopard sightings. 

White Rhino

The easiest way to tell Africa's two rhino species apart is by the shape of their bottom lip: wide and square for white rhinos and pointed for black rhinos. The name "white" rhino comes from a mistranslation of the Dutch word for "wide." Although the survival of both species is threatened by widespread poaching, white rhinos are more numerous and therefore easier to spot, especially in Southern Africa, where they prefer grassland and savanna habitats. White rhinos are the largest of five extant rhino species. Adult males averaging around 5,100 pounds are also one of the world's heaviest land mammals.

Best Places to See White Rhinos: Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park and Kruger National Park in South Africa offer a good chance of spotting white rhinos.

Black Rhino

Once found across Southern and East Africa, the black rhino is now considered critically endangered, with fewer than 5,000 individuals left in the wild and three subspecies already classified as extinct. Adult black rhinos have no natural predators, and their population collapse is predominantly due to poaching. They are killed for their horns, made of keratin, and exported to Asia for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Unlike white rhinos, which can sometimes be seen living in herds, black rhinos are generally solitary (although the bond between mother and calf is strong). They favor thick scrub and bushland.

Best Places to See Black Rhinos: Etosha National Park in Namibia is a rhino conservation success story with a thriving black rhino population. Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy is another renowned sanctuary for black rhinos.

The cheetah is the most slender of Africa's big cats, a magnificent animal known for its incredible speed. They are capable of short bursts of up to 70 miles per hour, making them the world's fastest land animal. However, cheetahs often have their kills stolen by other, more powerful predators despite their speed. They are a vulnerable species with only around 7,100 individuals left in the wild, including a tiny population of approximately 40 individuals in Iran. Cheetahs are found throughout Southern and East Africa in wide-open spaces that allow them to reach their top speed while pursuing prey. 

Best Places to See Cheetahs: The Maasai Mara National Reserve provides the ideal habitat for cheetahs. Alternatively, track rehabilitated cheetah on foot at  Okonjima Game Reserve in Namibia. 

African buffalo have a robust build and distinctive fused horns. They are grazers, typically moving in herds, with no natural predators except lions and crocodiles. Unlike other species of wild buffalo, the African buffalo has never been successfully tamed, thanks to its naturally aggressive and unpredictable nature. Although seeing a buffalo herd ranging across the savanna is undoubtedly an unforgettable sight, it's crucial to treat these animals with respect. They are responsible for multiple human fatalities every year and are considered one of the continent's most dangerous species. 

Best Places to See Buffalo: Katavi National Park in Tanzania is famous for its enormous buffalo herds. Chobe National Park is another good bet. 

Hippopotamus

Hippos are a common sight in Southern and East Africa's rivers, swamps, and lakes. Often found in groups of up to 100 individuals, hippos spend most of their life in water, only leaving their aquatic homes to graze on the riverbanks at dusk. They have several fascinating adaptations, including webbed feet, large canine tusks, and the ability to secrete a kind of natural sunscreen. Male hippos are territorial and, like buffalo, can be exceptionally aggressive when provoked. Similarly, take care never to get between a hippo mother and her calf. 

Best Places to See Hippos:  Zambia's  Luangwa Valley  is home to the world's largest concentration of hippos. The Okavango Delta in Botswana is also full of them. 

Nile Crocodile

After the saltwater crocodile, Nile crocodiles are the world's largest living reptile, with the biggest on record exceeding 20 feet in length. In sub-Saharan Africa, they are found in various aquatic habitats, including lakes, rivers, and deltas. Crocodiles are well camouflaged in the water and are most often spotted sunning themselves on the riverbank. They have been around for millions of years, and with heavily armored skin and powerful jaws, they certainly look prehistoric. Nile crocodiles are perfect predators, employing ambush tactics to take their prey unawares. 

Best Place to See Crocodiles: Watch herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River during East Africa's annual migration to see Nile crocodiles in action. 

There are three species of zebra in Africa; the plains zebra most commonly seen throughout East and Southern Africa , and the rarer mountain and Grévy's zebras. Although they may look like domestic horses, zebras are almost impossible to tame; their distinctive stripe patterns are unique to each individual as a human's fingerprints. Zebras live on grass, and in some areas, form great migratory herds to seek out the best grazing grounds. They often create a mutually beneficial relationship with another African species during the migration, the wildebeest . 

Best Places to See Zebra: For sheer numbers, you can't beat the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara during migration season. To see the endangered Grévy's zebra, head to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in northern Kenya.

Easily recognizable by their tan, black, and white fur, African wild dogs are the largest (and one of the rarest) canids in Africa. They are highly social animals, living in packs led by an alpha male and female and communicating with a series of high-pitched twittering sounds. Wild dogs hunt as a team, chasing their prey until it collapses from exhaustion. Unlike other social carnivores, weaned pups are allowed to eat first at the kill to give them the best chance of survival. Nevertheless, African wild dogs are endangered, with populations declining due to habitat fragmentation, human conflict, and diseases spread by domestic dogs.

Best Places to See Wild Dogs: Top destinations for spotting wild dogs include Ruaha National Park in Tanzania, Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa, and Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.

The most common large carnivore on the African continent, the Hyaenidae family comprises four species of hyena: spotted, brown, striped, and aardwolf. Though their mighty jaws and strong digestive tract are ideally suited for scavenging, hyenas only feed on carrion and other refuse for 30 percent of their meals; for the other 70 percent, they prey on animals of all different sizes and shapes, including wildebeest, antelope, birds, and snakes. Hyena clans can consist of up to 100 members, and individuals will communicate with each other through wailing, screaming, and "laughing." Hyenas (particularly spotted) live in a range of habitats throughout sub-Saharan Africa, from savannas and grasslands to subdeserts and mountains.

Best Places to See Hyena: You can find hyenas in many national parks in Africa, including Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, Namibia's Cape Cross Seal Reserve , and Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. For your best chance at seeing them, plan to sign up for a night safari.

This antelope species can be subdivided into the greater kudu and the lesser kudu subspecies, both of which can be identified by their white vertical stripes, spots, and chevron pattern between their eyes. Greater kudus are most prevalent throughout southern Africa's lowland Bushveld but can also be found throughout East Africa—particularly Kenya and the Horn of Africa region; similarly, lesser kudus tend to prefer the dense thornbush around East Africa. Males, characterized by elongated horns that can grow up to 6 feet in length, can typically be seen alone or with other bachelors, though you may find them with females during mating season. On the other hand, female kudus live in small herds with their offspring.

Best Places to See Kudu: Greater kudus are best seen in Kenya's Tsavo National Park and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

Warthogs thrive in savanna woodland, grasslands, and marshes, taking up natural burrows and abandoned aardvark holes. With the use of their strong neck muscles and padded knees, warthogs will spend the day foraging for food, digging through soil to uncover tubers, roots, berries, and grass. Sows can be found in matriarchal groups comprising up to 40 female warthogs and piglets, while boars prefer to live alone or with other bachelors.

Best Places to See Warthog: Warthogs live all over sub-Saharan Africa but are most common in the eastern and southern parts of the continent. If you want to spot them on safari, consider planning a trip to Kruger National Park , Masai Mara , or South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.

30 African Safari Animals You Need To See (With Pictures)

Africa’s natural beauty is unmatched, luring you to gaze at the passive stride of a lioness that you forget to breathe and marvel at a giraffe’s tripod bent to water.

The continent’s jungles, savannahs, forests, and other natural habitats contain mysteries that even a wise man cannot understand.

Therefore, seeing one-tenth of these African animals would bring about an incredible safari escapade.

It would be impossible to find all of Africa’s wildlife species, prompting us to compile a list of thirty African safari animals you need to see, including lions, elephants, zebras, and antelopes, among others.

Each animal we will consider has its scientific name, geographical range, conservation status, and photo highlighted, with a description that features the best places to find them.

So come along with us as we explore the beautiful world of these animals you can see on an African safari.

African Safari Animals You Should See

• Scientists Name: Panthera Leo
• Conservation Status: Vulnerable

Lions are endemic to Africa, occluding in savannahs, scrublands, grasslands, grassy plains, open woodlands with bushes, and bordering rivers.

Between 300 and 1,500 mm of annual rainfall, Savannahs constitute most African lion habitats.

Some populations reside in West African tropical moist forests and montane forests.

Sadly, Africa’s lion population has declined substantially by fifty percent in only twenty years. 1

However, one can still find lions in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa, and Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

• Scientific Name: Panthera pardus
• Conservation Status: Not Extinct 

The leopard resides across sub-Saharan Africa and is aboriginal to many African nations.

These spotted cats inhabit the Cape Provinces of South Africa, Somalia, Ethiopia, and West Africa, occurring in mountainous forests, grasslands, and savannahs.

Leopards are among Africa’s “Big Five” safari, attracting many tourists; Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and South Africa’s Sabi Sands Game Reserve are some of the most prominent leopard centers in the continent.

The Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has recorded leopard sightings as the animals drink the park’s thermal waters.

3. Elephant

• Scientific Name: Loxodonta africana
• Conservation Status: Endangered 

African elephants are considered endangered by the IUCN; still, they are indigenous to the continent, inhabiting the Sub-Saharan arid regions and Sahelian scrub.

They also reside in the continent’s jungles in tropical rainforests, mopane, and miombo woodlands.

African elephants primarily have populations in Central Africa.

Still, they exist in the Chobe National Park in Botswana, the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, East Africa, and the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa.

4. Rhinoceros

• Scientific Name: Rhinoceros
• Conservation Status: Critically Endangered

The black rhino species is endemic to Africa, living in its eastern and southern regions.

Rhino populations inhabited eleven countries, but most wild rhinos today, from the estimated six thousand, occupy only four countries — Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, and Kenya.

They roam the open savannahs and grasslands and naturally exist in Etosha National Park, Namibia, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda, Nairobi National Park, Kenya, and Kruger South Africa.

Black rhinos have a size worthy of making them major African wildlife, growing up to 5.2 feet, and weighing 1,760 to 3,080 pounds.

• Scientific Name: Syncerus caffer
• Conservation Status: Near Threatened 

Various species of the African buffalo occupy every part of the continent. The Cape buffalo inhabits Southern and East Africa, while the forest buffalo occurs in Central and West Africa.

These species are enormous, measuring up to 5.6 feet in shoulder height and weighing up to 1,900 lb.

They live in savannahs, swamps, mopane grasslands, and densely covered habitats.

Some wildlife parks include Masai Mara National Park in Kenya, Chobe National Park in Botswana, and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. 

6. Hartebeest

• Scientific Name: Alcelaphus buselaphus
• Conservation Status: Least Concern

The hartebeest is an antelope species native to the black continent.

It is a large-sized species with a prominent hump, a large chest, and a long face that distinguishes it from other antelope species.

Hartebeests are primarily grazers, with grasses making their menu, but they mostly occupy wooded grasslands, dry savannas, and open plains in Central, West, southern, and southeast Africa.

The hartebeest roams in their natural habitats in the Kruger and Bontebok National Parks in South Africa, Etosha National Park in Namibia, and Camp Linyanti in Botswana. 

• Scientific name: Tragelaphus eurycerus

The bongo is another antelope species native to African jungles, with white-yellow stripes and black-and-white markings on its reddish-brown coat.

Bongos exist in tropical forest mosaics with dense undergrowth around West and Central Africa.

The Aberdare National park in Kenya is one major spot to find the bongo.

• Scientific name: Okapia johnstoni
• Conservation Status: Endangered

The okapi, a zebra look-alike, is the only extant member of the Giraffidae family along with the giraffe.

However, the okapi is not as tall as a giraffe, measuring only four feet and eleven inches.

It occupies canopy forests but is essentially solitary, with wildlife populations in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, Ituri Rainforest, and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

9. African Wild Dog

• Scientific Name: Lycaon pictus

The African wild dog is a threatened species now mostly located in the southeast of Africa, with only over 6,000 individuals left. 2

These wild dogs primarily inhabit Africa’s savannas and dry regions, preying mainly on antelopes.

African wild dogs have a strong sense of socialization to form packs of about thirty dogs.

The best places to find the African wild dog include woodlands, scrublands, and mountains, and they are open to the public in their natural habitats in:

• Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa
• Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe
• Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana
• Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania
• South Luangwa National Park in Zambia

Also See: Different Types Of Wild Dogs (Species List With Pictures)

• Scientific Name: Hyaenidae

Hyenas occupy Africa’s savannas, sub-desserts, grasslands, forest edges, and woodlands and hold an apex position on the food chain.

Hyenas control prey populations and prevent the spread of diseases, primarily by consuming animal remains that could rot and cause diseases.

They have unparalleled bone-crushing abilities, helping them fight off potential competitors. 3

Hyenas may not be among the most beautiful animals, but they attract visitors around Kruger National Park and Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa. 

11. Wildebeest

• Scientific Name: Connochaetes taurinus

The antelope’s imposing appearance is why the Afrikaans named it the wildebeest.

However, it is never too fearsome to the African wild cats, wild dogs, and hyenas that constantly prey on it.

Wildebeests are among the jungle animals in southern Africa that also occupy grassy plains and open woodlands that support their grazing routine in Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, and Tanzania.

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya are some of the best places to watch the wildebeest.

12. Warthog

• Scientific Name: Phacochoerus africanus

The common warthog is a plump, hooved wild pig with little fur, a mane through the spine to the middle of its back, and upper tusks that protrude upwards from the mouth.

Warthogs, commonly called Pumba by many safari guides, are among Africa’s highly-watched safari animals.

They reside in grasslands, savannas, and woodlands in sub-Saharan Africa, across western, eastern, central, and southern Africa.

The Kruger National Park, South Africa, and Meru National Park, central Kenya, are famed for housing the warthog. 

13. Vulture

• Scientific Name: Accipitridae (Old World vultures); Cathartidae (New World vultures) 

About eleven vulture species from the Accipitridae and Cathartidae families reside in Africa, popular among many as a scavenger and keystone species in most of the continent’s ecosystem.

Sadly, about seven of eleven African vulture species are critically endangered, with West Africa losing about ninety percent of the native White-backed vulture. 4

However, vultures spread across the black continent in west, north, east, central, and southern African cliffs and tall trees.

The Kruger National Park in South Africa and Comoé National Park have vultures, and one might be fortunate to find one while visiting.

14. Marabou Stork

• Scientific Name: Leptoptilos crumenifer

While most storks are beautiful, the marabou stork has a reputation for horror due to its black cloak, large, fleshy pouch, and featherless features.

However, even the world’s most unattractive creatures attract large fanbases, explaining why the marabou stork ranks among Africa’s safari animals you should see.

Marabou storks are also large birds, reaching four feet, eleven inches in height, and 6.5 feet in wingspan length.

The IUCN ranks these birds as ‘Least Concern,’ with a stable population to support their evaluation.

Therefore, one can find the marabou stork in the west, east, central, and southern Africa.

One can find the marabou stork in Ben Lavin Nature Reserve and the African Bird of Prey Sanctuary in South Africa. 

• Scientific name: Beatragus hunteri

The hirola is the world’s rarest antelope, native to Kenya and southwest Somalia.

White spectacles around its eyes, a white tail through to the hocks, and lyre-shaped horns are distinctive features that distinguish the hirola from other antelope species.

The hirola occupies parched environments with relatively low annual rainfall.

However, it is a primary grazer, enjoying grasses with more leaves than stems. Hirola populations exist in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya.

16. Giraffe

• Scientific Name: Giraffa camelopardalis
• Conservation Status: Vulnerable 

Everyone wants to watch the world’s tallest living terrestrial and largest ruminant creature.

Giraffes occupy semi-arid savannah and savannah woodlands and are highly distinguished by their extremely long necks and legs.

Some best places to find the Giraffe in its natural habitat include:

• Africa’s Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda
• Etosha National Park in Namibia
• Serengeti National Park in Tanzania
• Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya
• Kruger National Park in South Africa
• Kouré in Niger

Also See: Amazing Long Neck Animals (List With Pictures)

• Scientific Name: Equus  

Three zebra species reside in Africa, but the common zebra is the most popular. They all share black-and-white striped coats, but patterns are unique to each species.

The common zebra ( Equus quagga ) occupies much of southern and eastern Africa, the mountain zebra ( Equus zebra ) in southern Africa, and the Grévy’s zebra ( Equus grevyi ) in east Africa.

Zebras are herbivores and inhabit grasslands, savannahs, shrublands, woodlands, and mountainous areas.

The best places to find Zebras in their natural habitats include:

• Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana
• Lewa Conservancy in Kenya
• Klein Karoo in South Africa

18. Hippopotamus

• Scientific name: Hippopotamus amphibius

Hippos are famed for their round and cute appearance and a fearsome reputation for being the world’s deadliest land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people annually in Africa.

They weigh up to 2,750kg, with large tusks and speeds reaching 30 km/h. Hippos are everywhere in the black continent, occurring in Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa.

The hippo’s history with man implies that encountering it in the wrong place might not end well.

However, the South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks in Zambia, Okavango Delta in Botswana, and Selous in Tanzania are among the best places to view the hippopotamus.

19. Common Ostrich

• Scientific Name: Struthio camelus

The common ostrich is the world’s largest and heaviest extant bird . However, such feats make the bird incapable of flight due to its immense weight.

However, the common ostrich makes up for its lack of light with speed, running up to forty-three kilometers per hour.

They are also impressive with using their long, powerful legs as defensive weapons.

A mature ostrich can grow to a height of nine feet and weigh up to 160 kilograms, a size worthy of ranking among African Safari animals one should see.

Many zoos feature ostriches in captivity, but the Kidepo Valley National Park in Uganda and the Kruger National Park in South Africa are nice places to find the common ostrich in their natural settings. 

20. Shoebill

• Scientific Name: Balaeniceps rex

The bird’s large, striking shoe-shaped beak earns it the distinguished name. However, its enormous bill is just one of its features.

The shoebill is one of the world’s largest birds, growing up to four feet, eleven inches, thus becoming one of the five most captivating birds in Africa, according to birdwatchers.

The shoebill can be found in the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda, Kasanka National Park in Zambia, and a few wildlife centers in the continent present views of shoebill storks.

21. Leopard Tortoise

• Scientific Name: Stigmochelys pardalis

The leopard tortoise is one of the smallest wildlife Africa’s safari offers. However, the leopard markings on its shell account for the most prominent feature.

The leopard tortoise has populations scattered across Africa’s semi-arid shrubland of the Sahara, from Sudan to the cape of South Africa.

The tortoise’s leopard markings are not its only distinctive feature, but its ability to swim is unique as it is the only Testudinidae with such an ability.

The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Mountain Zebra National Park in South Africa are wonderful destinations to find the leopard tortoise. 

22. Meerkat

• Scientific Name: Suricata suricatta

Mongooses are popular for killing snakes, and here is the meerkat, an animal belonging to the same family — Herpestidae.

The meerkat is a small mongoose native to Southern Africa, inhabiting arid, open habitats containing little woody vegetation in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa.

Mongooses have a distinctive banded pattern, big eye circles, thin tails, and sharp, curved foreclaws that support digging.

They dig burrows in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in South Africa.

• Scientific Name: Tragelaphus
• Conservation Status: Least Concern 

The kudus are two large-sized antelope species found in East and Southern Africa.

The most distinctive feature differentiating both species is size, with the greater kudu measuring over five feet and the lesser kudu within the four-foot range.

They inhabit savanna near Acacia and Commiphora shrubs, relying on thickets for protection.

Therefore, these antelopes are found in the Addo Elephant National Park and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, Chobe National Park in Botswana, and Etosha National Park in Namibia.

• Scientific Name: Canis aureus

Jackals are dog relatives of the genus Canis. Three jackal species exist — black-backed, golden, and side-striped, all occurring in different parts of Africa, especially the eastern and southern countries.

The black-backed jackal inhabits savannas and wooded areas; the golden jackal occupies dry environments, including deserts, open savannas, and arid grasslands.

The side-striped jackal lives in damp savannas, marshes, bushlands, and mountains.

Visiting the Kruger National Park, Shongweni Resources Reserve, and the wildlife parks offers the intriguing sights of jackals in South Africa.

The Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, Chobe National Park in Botswana, and Etosha National Park in Namibia are other nice places to find a jackal.

25. Cheetah

• Scientific Name: Acinonyx jubatus

Watching the world’s fastest land animal stalk its prey and initiate its signature high-speed chase is a dream sight to anyone willing to enjoy the untamed beauty of the African safari.

Therefore, some of the best places to watch a cheetah in your next safari escapade include:

• Okavango Delta in Botswana
• Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa
• Phinda Private Game Reserve in Tanzania
• Kidepo Valley National Park in Uganda
• Kafue National Park in Zambia
• Scientific Name: Aepyceros melampus

The Impala is one of the most elegant antelope species, featuring a graceful stride, plush, glossy, reddish brown coat, and slender, curved horns.

While you might love to admire them, it will be more thrilling to watch them jump clear of obstacles, leaping up to ten meters long and three meters high.

Such a sight lies in the Lake Mburo National Park and Katonga Wildlife Reserve in Uganda, Kruger National Park, Hluleka Nature Reserve in South Africa, and Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. 

27. Waterbuck

• Scientific Name: Kobus ellipsiprymnus

It would help if You never get tired of seeing antelopes if you visit Africa for its safari.

The waterbuck is among the many antelope species you may find, especially if you cruise through Chobe National Park in Botswana, Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Kruger National Park in South Africa, or Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya.

Waterbucks are large, robust antelopes with reddish-brown to shaggy gray coats that become darker with age.

As the name suggests, the waterbuck depends on water, thus inhabiting areas close to water sources.

28. Kori Bustard

• Scientific Name: Ardeotis kori
• Conservation status: Near Threatened

Kori bustards are very large birds — the heaviest flying bird native to Africa. Male kori bustards weigh between seven and eighteen kilograms.

The male kori bustard’s wingspan ranges from seven feet seven inches to nine feet.

Even though they have large wings, they do not frequently fly unless necessary.

Therefore, there is much to admire in this feathered giant, bringing you to the Etosha National Park in Namibia and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, where it occupies sparsely wooded savannas and open grasslands. 

29. Nile crocodile

• Scientific Name: Crocodylus niloticus
• Conservation status: Least Concern

Some insects and amphibians might be insignificant during a safari escapade, but not large reptiles and apex predators like the Nile crocodile.

The crocodile occupies various habitats, including rivers, lakes, and marshes, and earns a fearsome reputation for its size, fearlessness, and extremely powerful bite.

One can find the Nile crocodile in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda, among others.

Frequently Asked Questions

What animals feature on africa’s top safari.

Africa’s safari features several animals, but lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants, and buffalos are the continent’s top-five safari animals.

Some of the world’s most popular animals, including zebras, cheetahs, giraffes, and antelopes, also feature on an African safari. 

Would you see a tiger on an African safari? 

While Africa is home to some of the world’s largest wild cats, including lions and cheetahs, it is very unlikely to find a tiger that is not in captivity in Africa.

However, one can find the tiger in a zoo or special reserve; the Laohu Valley Reserve, Tiger Canyon, Jugomaro Predator Park, and Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa are some places to find the world’s largest wild cat.

What is the most common animal on the safari?

The lion tops most people’s wishlists of animals to find on a safari. Without a doubt, it is one animal almost everyone coming on a safari would want to see, thanks to the beast’s title as the king of the jungle and the continent’s top carnivore. 

What is the largest safari animal?

Lions, giraffes, hippos, and buffalos are in contention for Africa’s largest safari animals, but they do little to match the African bush elephant ( Loxodonta africana ).

The mammal can grow up to 13 feet and weigh almost 23,000 pounds, more than any other safari animal.

What African habitats support wildlife?

Most African habitats support wildlife, including savannas, rainforests, semi-deserts, wooded grasslands, deserts, and plains, because they have the perfect climate and terrains to support specific animals.

One might never get enough of Africa’s scenic terrains and the breathtaking explorations of its safari.

However, various challenges, including habitat degradation, human activities, and climate change, pose considerable threats to the survival of several African safari animals, driving some of these species to extinction.

Therefore, it will be more helpful for all to support conservation efforts to ensure the continuity of the continent’s beauty of undomesticated animals.

These are designed to involve you in the heart of Kenya’s breathtaking wilderness. Every moment promises an amazing connection with nature.

The final leg of the tour is the perfect finish for your Kenya trip—the Masai Mara—the most sought-after safari destination in the world, rich in wildlife and biodiversity. You will get a chance to view the stunning beauty and vastness of the savannahs. To spot the Big Five animals , the Kenya jungle is the best safari destination. 

These Big Five animals are only found in 11 countries, all belonging to the African continent. Witnessing them in their natural habitats is one of the iconic experiences during your trip. Each of the Big Five animals in the group is part of the charismatic megafauna. It refers to animal species that are large and often have widespread popular appeal. During an African safari, the Big Five are the most well-known among avid safari-goers.

The term ‘Big Five’ was first coined in the late 1800s during Africa’s colonial period. The Big Five refers to those animals that were considered the most challenging and dangerous to encounter during a safari.

However, the safari of the colonial period wasn’t anything like it is today. During those times, the safari was undertaken by trophy hunters to kill animals on foot. So, big game hunters killed the Big Five animals and they classified them as the most difficult animals to hunt. Fortunately, at present, the Big Five Kenya jungle safaris involve shooting these animals but only with cameras.

The Big Five group can be spotted around Africa, from Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Kruger National Park of South Africa and even Namibia’s Etosha National Park. But the Big Five are best witnessed in Kenya jungle safari , also home to Mount Kenya – the second-highest peak on the continent.

Along with the Big Five, travellers also have the opportunity to see other members of the Kenyan ecosystem. These include zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, giraffes, hyenas, cheetahs, and endangered species like African wild dogs and Jackson’s hartebeest.

Tracking elusive leopards, admiring black rhinos from afar, seeing herds of elephants bathing, and witnessing head-strong fights between buffalos and lion pride are just some experiences that can be seen and felt during a Big Five African safari.

With its wealth of wildlife, dramatic sceneries, and beautiful cultures, the Big Five Kenya jungle safaris are one of the most popular vacation itineraries.

Icons of the Savannah: A Quick Glimpse into Big Five Kenya Safari

The Big Five group consists of five different animal species. Each is special and iconic on its own. Here is a brief introduction to the Big Five found in Kenya.

African bush elephant

The African bush elephant is a large mammal with thick, almost hairless skin and a long yet flexible trunk. It is the largest mammal in the world and the biggest of the three elephant species. Despite their gigantic size, they can hide well in tall grass.

African elephants live longer than any other mammal except humans, approximately 70 years. Elephant herds are led by a matriarch – the eldest female of the group.

The African lion is one of the most social among all cat species. They are also the only cats that live in large family groups called pride. They enjoy the title of ‘King of the Jungle’ as lions are considered to be the fiercest and most dangerous predators on land. They use ambush and stalking techniques to hunt most of the herbivores’ animals.

Males are distinguished from females with their big size and shaggy manes. These manes also frighten rivals, protect their throat from attacks, and attract females.

Lions are the most famous of the Big Five animals, and Kenya is home to some of the largest and most well-known pride in Africa. The Maasai Mara Reserve is particularly famous for its lion sightings, and visitors can often see lions lounging in the grass or hunting for prey.

Lions are social animals and live in groups called pride, which are usually led by a dominant male. They are also skilled hunters and can take down prey much larger than themselves, making them a fearsome predator.

The African leopard is one of the graceful yet ferocious hunters. They are closely related to jaguars, lions, and tigers. They are also one of the most elusive and hunt during the night.

The best time to spot leopards is early in the morning or at night. During the daytime, they are particularly camouflaged behind a tree or in the undergrowth.

Leopards are the smallest species of the big cat family. However, they are known for their sharp hunting skills and astounding strength. A leopard’s distinctive spots are known as rosettes as they resemble the shape of a rose.

Leopards are one of the most elusive of the Big Five animals and are often difficult to spot in the wild. However, they are also one of the most beautiful and adaptable animals in Africa, with their distinctive spotted coats and powerful hunting skills.

Leopards are solitary and nocturnal, making them challenging to find during the day. However, visitors on a Big Five Kenya Jungle safari may have the opportunity to see leopards resting in trees or stalking prey in the early morning or late afternoon.

Cape buffalo are regarded as the most dangerous of all Big Five animals when encountered during Kenya jungle adventure safaris . They are large, strong, and have an intimidating set of horns.

These animals are overly protective of their territory and feel threatened when someone disturbs them. They are known to charge with aggressive speed.

Buffalos are mostly found in huddled groups and herds. They spend most of their time grazing in floodplains and savannahs.

African buffalos are one of the favorite prey for lions. Nonetheless, due to their sharp thorns, strong hooves, and formidable defenses, they pose a massive danger to the lion and even cause serious damage. Watching real-time fights between these two is one of the highlights of a Big Five Kenya jungle safari .

African buffalos are large, powerful animals that can weigh up to 1,500 pounds. They are known for their large, curved horns and their tough, thick hides, which make them a formidable opponent for predators.

Buffalos are herbivores and graze on grasses and other vegetation, and they are often found in large herds. Visitors on Big Five Kenya safaris may see these impressive animals grazing in the grasslands or drinking from a waterhole.

Rhinoceros are an endangered species. Today, as a result of persistent conversation across various African regions, black rhinos have a current population of more than 5000.

It is a rare Big Five to see on a Kenya jungle safari and witnessing them from a distance is an extremely special venture.

Black rhinos have hooked lips while white rhinos have a square lip. Black rhinos have two horns, occasionally a third as well, known as the small posterior horn. Both species of rhinoceros weigh at least 5000 pounds individually and their horns grow up to five feet long.

There are two species of rhinoceros in Kenya: the black rhino and the white rhino. Both species are critically endangered due to poaching and habitat loss. Rhinos are large, heavily built animals that can weigh up to 5,000 pounds.

They are known for their distinctive horns, which are made of keratin, the same material as human hair and nails. Visitors during Big Five Kenya safaris may have the opportunity to see rhinos grazing in the grasslands or resting in the shade.

Where to encounter the Big Five during your Kenya Jungle Safari

Spotting these animals is not limited to just one national park or reserve in Kenya. There are various regions where travellers can enjoy witnessing Big Five during Kenya jungle safari s. Experienced guides and rangers combined with world-class game reserves make up for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Here are some places to spot the Big Five animals:

Masai Mara National Park

Among all the places in Kenya , Masai Mara is the most famous jungle safari destination. It is home to the famous wildebeest migration . Other than that, the Mara is characterized by its abundance of wildlife and classic savannah views. The Masai Mara houses the Big Five African animals along with families of hippos and topi.

Since the park has no fences, game drives become even more adventurous and exciting. Travelers can safely spot these animals while being accompanied by guides. The park is the ideal location to enjoy walking safaris, hot air balloon rides, and bush picnics.

Tsavo National Park

The Tsavo East and West National Park are perfect for wild and exciting adventures. The Big Five sightings are always anticipated in this national park. Particularly, Tsavo West displays elephants sand bathing in red dust. This region is also an outstanding protected area in Kenya.

The park is dominated by various habitats. It is host to a wide range of animals and more than 500 species of birds. Being one of the oldest yet largest national parks in the county, it offers exciting tours in Kenya. Tsavo is also a lesser-known park. In Tsavo, you can enjoy Big Five sightings while being away from much of the tourist crowd.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli is one of the popular parks, famed for showcasing aesthetic views of elephants traversing against the backdrop of magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro . The park is known as the ‘Land of Giants’ due to the large herd of elephants that roam the savannah. The Big Five in Amboseli is particularly famous for spot in their scenic habitats.

The unobstructed views of Amboseli allow for year-round wildlife viewing. Travelers can spot lions, leopards, buffalos, and even cheetahs during game drives.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru is an alkaline lake and a major attraction of the park. It attracts huge flocks of pink flamingoes which make up for an incredible sight.

Travelers on Big Five Kenya jungle safari s are thrilled to spot rhinos grazing against the backdrop of enormous flamingoes. Near the shallow alkaline waters of the lake, millions of other birds are spotted nesting.

So, along with wildlife lovers, enthusiastic birders can also enjoy exploring Lake Nakuru. Travelers can have frequent sightings of the lion leopard, giraffe, hippo, warthog, and ostrich in the park.

Lewa Conservancy

Located in northern Kenya, Lewa Conservancy is a leading area for the conservation of wildlife and its habitats. This private wildlife reserve was first established to protect rare black rhinos and Grevy’s zebra. Today, there are more than 60 animal species that roam the conservancy. Travelers can enjoy fulfilling Big Five Kenya safaris in Lewa.

To enjoy a unique experience, travelers can also opt for horseback and cam rides. Along with the Big Five, the most routinely spotted animals at Lewa include the reticulated giraffe, eland, Beisa oryx, wild dog, and many more.

Optimal Moments: Planning Your Big Five Kenya Safari for the Ultimate Wildlife Encounter

Each season of Kenya displays something new, making this country a year-round destination. However, the best months to spot the Big Five in Kenya are from July to October. This period in Kenya marks the peak season of jungle safari .

The vegetation becomes sparse during these months and so, spotting the Big Five becomes easier. The weather also remains favorable during these months. This way, you can enjoy your Big Five Kenya safaris comfortably.

Optimal Lodgings for Your Big Five Kenya Jungle Safari

Kenya offers world-class and incredible accommodation options. From lodges to camps, various types of accommodation suiting your taste and budget are found in Kenya. However, to watch the Big Five, we recommend the Olgatuni Camp situated in the heart of Masai Mara.

The Mara itself is the top place to see the Big Five. Furthermore, Olgatuni Camp is strategically built inside the reserve to display the best views of the surrounding animals.

Olgatuni Camp offers the most authentic experiential stay in Masai Mara. In fact, the camp is located close to a resident leopard and lion pride as well as other Big Five animals.

The camp has a rustic ambiance, offering the perfect African safari experience. Its services are high-quality and take care of every traveler’s needs. It is the best accommodation to choose from in Masai Mara for rewarding Big Five safaris.

How to See the Big Five Animals in Kenya

In Kenya , many parks and reserves offer jungle safari s to witness the Big Five in their natural habitats. One of the most popular and classic ways to see Big Five animals is through game drives which take place in safari vehicles. You can also spot the Big Five during hot air balloon rides offered by selected parks and reserves of Kenya.

Going on Big Five Kenya jungle safaris is one of the most exciting vacations to consider. Talk to the experts of Wild Voyager today to enjoy customised and perfect adventure tours in Kenya.

To see the Big Five animals, the Kenya jungle is one of the best safari places in Africa. The Big Five refers to the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros, which were historically considered the most challenging and dangerous animals to hunt.

• Tips For Jungle Safari For An Adventure-Laden Trip Into The Wild

A jungle safari is one of the most coveted experiences to sight wild animals, birds, and exotic flora in a natural habitat. But there are certain rules and tips for jungle safari that one needs to keep in mind before and during the safari tour to ensure it’s an enjoyable and safe experience. While traversing in a jungle is fun and adventurous, it can turn into a disaster if not planned and executed properly .

Whether you are going on your tenth safari or first, preparing for it beforehand cannot be taken lightly. Right from booking well in time, packing the right safari luggage, wearing proper clothes, preparing for the unexpected, to maintaining one’s safety and welfare inside the park, everything needs to be spick and span for a memorable time inside the jungle. Thus, we have compiled for you some essential safari tips that will let you have the most fabulous time inside the world’s biodiversity hotspots teeming with exotic flora, fauna, and avifauna.

Find Below The Best Tips For Jungle Safari

Leave your worldly pleasures and flashy gadgets back home and experience the magic of being one with nature. The more time you spend in the midst of the world’s most primitive parts, the more connected you’ll feel with your inner self. All you need to do is make sure you respect the given rules of the jungle and follow the mentioned hacks for a better safari experience.

1. Planning & Research

The best tips for jungle safari would be to do proper research about the forest reserve you’re visiting and plan your trip accordingly. A well-planned jungle safari in India and abroad can help you have the best safari experience as well as cut down on unnecessary costs.

Know About The Safari Reserve

Do a proper research about the place you wish to explore through your safari tour – everything from the distance, area, best time to visit, type of flora and fauna you’ll encounter, to the rules and regulations set down by the respective forest authorities. One should be well aware of what the place holds, not only to enjoy a great safari experience but also to determine what to carry.

Set Down A Budget

From the transport you’re using to get to the location, to services like a guide, safari vehicle (jeep, canter, elephant, trek), safari duration, entrance fee, food, and accommodation, you will be required to pay for a lot of things, especially during India safari tours. So set down a limit to your expenditures. At the same time, try and be flexible with your expenditures as the cost may fluctuate.

Plan Your Safari In Dry Season

Must Read: Best Safari In South Africa: Adrenaline Pumping Experiences In The Wildest Corner Of The World

It is always advised to plan your safari in the dry season as the heat during this time forces the animals to lurk around waterholes more often. Other than that, there is hardly any vegetation around water holes which ultimately exposes the fauna and enhances the chance to spot them. Besides, many wildlife sanctuaries and reserves remain closed for tourists during the monsoon season since the chances of landslides and marshy terrains increases during this time.

Be Open To Staying Primitive

Too addicted to your tech? A jungle safari and camping is probably not a good idea for you then! One can only enjoy a jungle safari when they allow themselves to blend in with nature, disconnecting from the outside world, and forgetting about the worries of life and work. A safari trip takes you deep into the heart of nature, amid everything serene and secluded, so that you might be able to get a taste of how peaceful life was before urbanization and industrialization set in.

Be Prepared For Temperature Fluctuations

While the afternoons would squeeze the last drop of sweat out of you, the evenings might freeze you to death. It is always a good idea to keep a constant check on the temperature variations and predictions about the reserve area you’re visiting and prepare yourself likewise. Thanks to Google, it is ever so easy to stay up to date on such information so that you may not have to suffer nasty surprises on your trip into the wild.

Pre-Book Your Safari And Accommodation

Suggested Read: Things You Ought To Know Before Traveling #PackingHacksIncluded

Most African safari tips would tell you to pre-book safaris so as to avoid last minute hassles of waiting outside the ticket counter in long queues. If you’ve pre-planned your vacay, then booking your safari in advance is the best idea. Indian wildlife reserves and nature parks too offer online booking facilities these days to spare visitors the trouble of standing in long queues before slow ticket counters.

Bookings start way before the onset of summer. With limited safari tours per day in a limited number of vehicles per wildlife sanctuary, your chance of taking your family on that much-awaited safari tour will grow lesser with every delay. So make sure you book well in time to reserve yourself and your loved ones a seat on the vehicle of your choice and a room in the best hotel, lodge, or eco stay in the area.

Opt For Guided Organised Safari Tours

If you’re a pro at wildlife safaris, you can surely opt for a private tour. But then there’s no way you can know more than the (government authorized) forest guides who spend half their life inside the jungle you’re visiting. They are well equipped with the who, what, when, why, and how of every animal and bird in that jungle so that they’ll get you to the right place at the right time well before the beast has even graced the spot with his presence. All it takes them is a glance at that footprint to tell you which animal had crossed your path, and how long ago!

Book A Dawn Or Dusk Safari

The animals and birds are most active at this time, which is why most tips for jungle safari would tell you to book a dawn or dusk safari, or a full day safari beginning at dawn and ending at dusk. Don’t forget to leave very early in the morning for a dawn safari so as to avoid waiting at the entrance gates for things like permit checks.

2. What To Carry

Image Source Packing right is essential for a jungle safari in India and anywhere overseas. If you’re wondering what to take on safari, here are the things that we’d suggest:

• Electronics: A charged camera, extra batteries, extra memory cards, binoculars (ideal – 8X40 or 10X50)
• Sun Protection: A sunscreen lotion, sunshades, a wide brimmed hat, scarf (for dust)
• Personal Safety: Antiseptic cream, insect repellent cream, medication (if allergic to dust or certain flora type), antiviral hand wash, first aid kit, flashlight
• Important Documents: ID proof, tickets, booking confirmation (scanned beforehand)
• Food: Packed snacks like glucose biscuits, energy bars food (only to be eaten during break time), sufficient water
• Clothes: Thin layers (since the weather can be unpredictable)
• Some handy cash

Now, here are some things that ought NOT be in your safari luggage:

• A radio or any other musical item
• Perfume, deodorant, or any other kind of body fragrance
• Unwrapped, pungent food items

3. Dressing Up

You may be a fashionista back home, but here, you have to dress up according to the norms of the jungle. Following are some basic things you need to keep in mind while dressing up for your safari. Abiding by these tips for jungle safari will ensure your safety and that of others.

• Wear comfortable, airy t-shirts, convertible cargo pants (preferably waterproof), fleece jackets
• Wear colours like Greens, Browns, Olives, and Khakis to blend in. Some African safari clothing tips tell visitors to avoid loud colours & bold prints
• Pick cloth material that is lightweight and breathable, like cotton

• Cover your arms and legs. Sleeveless tops & capris won’t protect against insect bites
• Wear strong, comfortable, and covered sports shoes (or sneakers) with socks
• Mask your face to protect from the dust
• Wear a hat or a cap to keep the heat away

A jungle safari will surely take you on a joyride amid the wild and let you get up and close with nature. Though filled with exotic flora and fauna, a jungle can be dangerous if one isn’t cautious. It is imperative to stay safe as one wrong move can turn your ‘fun’ into a disaster. Any general safari advice will always include the below mentioned safety tips.

If you expect your guests to respect the rules and regulations of your house, then you also need to follow the norms of the jungle where you are the guests. There can’t be better tips for jungle safari to make one understand the importance of abiding by the guidelines set down by wildlife sanctuaries across the world.

5. Wildlife Spotting

You’ve planned your trip well, you have all you need for your safari by your side, and you are also following the forest rules. But, alas, you still haven’t been able to spot a single wild animal or bird. Where then, did you go wrong?

There are certain factors you need to consider before embarking on a jungle safari so that you have the maximum chance of spotting the beast of the jungle that you came all the way to see. The following tips for jungle safari will help you while you’re planning and executing your safari ride so that you can make the most of your visit to the jungle.

• Read about the animals and birds in the park to know where you are most likely to spot them on your tour
• As established, visit the jungle in the dry season. During summers, most of the animals can be found lurking near the water holes, exposed owing to the less amount of vegetation at these spots
• Start the safari at dawn and end it by dusk as most of the animals can be found outside their shelters during this time. Reptiles and crocodiles can be spotted during midday
• Stay longer at the hotspots, like canals, river banks, lakes, ponds, etc
• Pick a good guide. Safari guides always stay in contact with each other, so if one spots the highlight animal of the park, it will be communicated to the others and everyone will get a chance to witness it
• Make use of your binoculars (or your camera’s zoom lens). They can help you identify animals hiding in the bushes
• Familiarise yourself with the sounds of different birds if you’re into bird watching and photography
• Be still and maintain silence while observing or photographing fauna, especially birds

Best of Ranthambore’s Safari Zones

Ranthambore National Park is divided into ‘core areas’ and ‘buffer zones’. The ‘core areas’ are regions where tigers roam freely. To protect and support their habitat, deforestation and other commercial activities are prohibited in these areas. In contrast, ‘buffer zones’ are areas of the reserve where the land can be used by local people for farming or other purposes while still being managed for conservation by the government.

For visitor convenience, Ranthambore National Park is segmented into 10 zones for tiger sightings. Zones 1-5 constitute the core areas, while zones 6-10 are part of the buffer zone. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are particularly popular and preferred by many visitors. During the summer, tigers are more easily sighted in these zones due to the presence of lakes and other water bodies. These sites attract tigers and other animals looking to quench their thirst in the hot season.

Best Time for Ranthambore’s Jungle Safari

The best time to visit Ranthambore National Park is during the months of October to March since the weather is pleasant to travel. But it is during the months of April to June that you can see tigers more since they can be seen near the lakes and other water bodies to quench their thirst during the hot summer season.

• Advance Booking: Ensure you book your Ranthambore safari well in advance. Due to its popularity, failing to do so might result in not getting your preferred zone, vehicle, or even a seat.
• Multiple Safaris: Consider taking multiple safaris. This increases your chances of sighting a tiger, as sightings are influenced by both seasons and tiger movements.
• Hydration: Bring plenty of water. A safari typically lasts around 3 and a half hours.
• Binoculars: Given that animals might be distant, carrying binoculars can enhance your viewing experience.
• Clothing: Opt for earthy-toned clothes like brown, green, and beige. These help you blend in with the surroundings. Avoid bright colors like red, which might make animals cautious and deter them from approaching.

Dos and Don’ts During the Safari

• Protection: Carry sun hats, scarfs, and masks. The park’s climate is dry, and there can be considerable dust.
• Behavior: Stay composed and calm. Always listen to your guide.
• Feeding: Never feed the animals. They have ample food, and feeding them can be dangerous given their wild nature.
• Littering: Avoid littering during your safari. Instead, dispose of waste at designated spots.
• Vehicle Safety: Do not disembark from your vehicle and always remain seated.
• Noise: Refrain from making loud noises or sounds. This could deter animals and hinder sightings.
• Substances: Smoking and alcohol consumption are prohibited within the park’s premises.

Jungle Animals

An in-depth look at 13  iconic jungle species from around the globe.

Jungle animals are some of the most diverse and numerous of any habit on the planet. Before we look at some iconic jungle species it’s worth taking a moment to understand exactly what we mean by the term ‘jungle’.

What exactly is a jungle?

Nearly everyone has an idea about how they’d define the biome, and usage of the term ‘jungle’ has evolved significantly over the past fifty or so years.

Prior to the 1970s, all tropical forests were generically referred to as jungle, whether they were rainforests, cloud forests, or mangroves. Since then the terms ‘tropical forest’ and ‘rainforest’ have more or less completely replaced the term ‘jungle’ to describe humid tropical forests.

These days ‘jungle’ is used to describe the ground level of densely forested tropical areas where there is tangled vegetation and underbrush. Plants such as shrubs, grasses, vines, and moss thrive in jungles, which makes it very difficult for humans to penetrate on foot without cutting a path through.

Put simply, a jungle is a forested area that combines warm temperatures with dense, ground-level vegetation.

Is there a difference between a jungle and a rainforest?

Rainforests and jungles are similar in many ways – they are both warm, tropical forest habitats filled with thick vegetation – but there are also some key differences.

Jungles don’t have as much skyscraping vegetation, so unlike rainforests don’t have a thick canopy. In a rainforest the canopy block sunlight reaching the forest floor, so restricts vegetation growing on the forest floor, and holds in the moisture and humidity.

Because jungles have a much sparser canopy they are drier and lighter than rainforests and have much more vegetation growing at ground level.

13 Iconic jungle animals

Like rainforests, jungles tend to be areas unhampered by humans, so can provide one of the most exhilarating places (if difficult) places to spot wild animals in their natural habitat. Here’s our pick of 13 of the most iconic jungle animals:

One horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis)

Found: india and nepal.

one horned rhino

Whilst Africa’s  rhinos are beasts to be extremely wary of, north-east India is home to the relatively approachable one-horned rhino. The expansive flat grasslands of Kaziranga National Park is fringed with jungle   has a population of over 1,600 Indian one-horned rhinos, comprising over two-thirds of the world’s total.

The extra twist with rhino-spotting in Kaziranga is the option of an elephant-back ride around the park, which allows you to get within a couple of meters of the very relaxed rhinos.

Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica)

Found: india.

asiatic lion

Today’s Asiatic lion exists only in India’s Gir National Park and the surrounding areas. The habitat in the park is dry scrub land and open deciduous forest, which could certainly be described as jungle. There are around 300 Asiatic lions in Gir National Park and perhaps only 500 left in the whole world.

Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus)

Found: indian sub-continent.

A sloth bear in grassland

Sloth bears live in a range of dry and moist forests across the Indian subcontinent, seeking out trees, boulders, and shrubs to provide shelter. They are omnivorous but tend to stick to a diet of ants, termites, and fruits. Not yet endangered, sloth bears are listed by IUCN as vulnerable due to habitat loss.

Elephant (Loxodonta)

Found: west and central africa and south asia.

African forest elephant on the edge of the jungle

Whilst African elephants thought of as being found out in the open on the African savannas, there is a second elephant species in Africa known as the African forest elephant. As with their Asian elephant cousins, African forest elephants are significantly smaller than African savanna elephants, to allow them to move with suprising ease through the dense jungles and rainforests of West Africa and the Congo Basin.

African forest elephants and Asian elephants have similar diets of fruits, seeds, and young leaves, and a more varied diet than the African savanna elephant due to the richness of their habitat. They are considered vital to their respective jungle environments as distributors of seeds, as they spend their days foraging.

Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)

Bengal tigers are native to India and Nepal. These stunning cats are the most common tiger, accounting for around half the world’s tiger population.  Bengal tigers are found predominantly in subtropical and elevated forests across the subcontinent, as well as thriving in the Sundarbans mango region on the India/Bangladesh border.

Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)

Found: west and central africa.

These great apes are found in a number of habitats across Central and West Africa. Chimpanzees actually have the widest range of all great apes, living in tropical rainforests and grasslands, as well as being jungle-dwelling animals.

Sharing around 99% of their genes with humans, these animals are our closest living relatives, and quite possibly the smartest animals on Earth other than Man.

Three-toed sloth ( Bradypodidae bradypus )

Found: central and south america.

3 toed sloth hanging in the rainforest canopy

Sloths have an incredibly low metabolic rate and need only a few leaves and twigs for nutrition, along with a very slow digestive system leading to their sluggish pace. In combination, the sloth’s anatomical structure differs from other mammals in having very long arms with very short shoulder -blades, which allows them a large reach without the effort of too much movement, and adds to their languid style of movement.

The three-toed sloth is, in fact, the slowest mammal in the world , moving at the hair raising speed of up to 2.4 meters per minute on the ground. When they’re up in their favored rainforest canopy they’re able to pick up their speed to around a 4.6 meters per minute.

Jaguar (Panthera onca)

Jaguars are found in South and Central America, preferring wet lowland habitats, swampy savannas, and tropical rain forests. They are known to almost anything they can catch, including deer, crocodiles, snakes, monkeys, deer, sloths, tapirs, turtles, eggs,  frogs and toads , and fish. The jaguar has the strongest bite of all the cat family – with a bite-force 1.4M kg per m² its bite is twice as strong as a lion’s.

Gorilla (Gorilla)

Although the most numerous of all gorilla subspecies, the western lowland gorilla (pictured) is still an endangered species . They inhabit the remote, dense tropical rainforests of Angola, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Equatorial Guinea.

Their remote and secluded habitats make it difficult to accurately estimate their numbers, but conservationists put the total population at almost 100,000 . This number is known to be decreasing, however, with the animals threatened by poaching, disease, climate change, habitat degradation, and destruction.

Okapi (Okapia johnstoni)

Found: democratic republic of the congo.

An okapi’s head and hindquarters

Despite having zebra-like markings the rare and unusual looking okapi is actually a member of the giraffe family. Their striking striped hindquarters camouflaged them and help them disappear into the forest.

Living in the dense tropical rainforests of Central Africa they use their long, sticky, giraffe-like tongues to graze on leaves, ferns, grasses, and fruit.

Black howler monkey (Alouatta caraya)

Found: south america.

Black howler monkey

The black howler monkey is so named because of the loud howl it makes when marking its territory. Their call has been described as a strong wind blowing through a tunnel, and can be heard up to 3 kilometers away, carrying across the jungle vegetation.

Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus)

Found: indonesia.

Sulawesi bear cuscus

The Sulawesi bear cuscus is actually an arboreal marsupial rather than a bear but is so named for it’s dark, thick bear-like fur. As with most marsupials newborns are underdeveloped and carried in a pouch on the mothers’ belly until they can navigate the Indonesian jungle themselves.

Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus)

Found: south east asia.

Siamang chilling in the canopy

Growing up to 1.5meters long siamangs are the largest species of gibbons in the world. They have long, shaggy black hair and a mostly hairless face, and are known for their loud whooping call made using an inflatable throat pouch. As with black howler monkeys, these calls are used to mark territorial boundaries between groups.
