Hurd Jennifer
  1. Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
    The Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya is home to many wild animals such as lion, hippo, cheetah, leopard, crocodile, elephant, as well as a center of migratory wildebeest. Over 95 species of mammals live in the reserve, making it one of the largest wildlife safari destinations. The reserve borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and together they form the most diverse ecosystem in Africa.
  2. Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
    The Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana covers over fifty thousand square kilometers of land, most of which is inaccessible to animal rescue. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is known for being the best place for an adventure wildlife safari in remote areas. The diversity of species that are more prolific here than anywhere else in Botswana, such as brown hyena, dire wolf, oryx, fox ears and ostrich, attract the region’s top predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards.
  3. Kruger National Park, South Africa
    Kruger National Park in South Africa is a picturesque and magical place where tourists return again and again. Ideally located between the South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga and bordering Mozambique, the park is home to the big five animals and is a center for wildlife research. But as we have said before, any paradise can turn into a disastrous dystopia if the rules are not followed. The simple act of feeding wild animals can be dangerous for you, as feeding animals will make them lose their natural fear of humans and in some cases can become aggressive and dangerous. Kruger National Park is one of the most dangerous tourist destinations in the world. So, before you go on a jungle safari, ask your travel agent about the do’s and don’ts.
  4. Jim Corbett National Park, India
    Located in the state of Uttarakhand in northern India, Jim Corbett National Park is famous for its Bengal tigers, leopards, wild elephants, as well as rich flora and fauna. Named after the British hunter Edward James Corbett, Jim Corbett National Park is a famous destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
  5. Zambezi River, Africa
    The Zambezi River is the longest river in Africa, flowing eastward, and flows through 6 different African countries – Zambia, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Together with its tributaries it creates the fourth largest river basin in Africa, which attracts all kinds of mammals, reptiles and birds in search of water and food.

The Zambezi River is famous for exploring the region by boat, which is not recommended for the faint of heart. Perhaps the story of the unfortunate incident will give you a better idea of why a boat safari on the Zambezi River can be dangerous.

A dangerous encounter on safari happened to a couple from Florida. The river is filled with hippos, which are known for their unpredictable nature. The couple was celebrating the woman’s birthday, and suddenly the hippo, trying to save his baby, took hold of the boat and began to pull the girl under the water. But, fortunately, she was saved with the help of the guide.

Now you understand, don’t you?

  1. Ranthambore National Park, India
    Ranthambore National Park, India
    Another dangerous jungle safari from India! Ranthambore is an ancient princely state that is famous for two things – Ranthambore Fort and Ranthambore National Park. You can enjoy exploring the ruins of the past in the fort and an exciting jungle safari in Ranthambore. It is a former royal hunting ground and home to tigers, leopards and marsh crocodiles.
  2. Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania
    One of the oldest in Africa and the largest in Tanzania, Selous Game Reserve is included in the World Heritage List due to the large number of active poachers in the region. The Selous Game Reserve is home to African elephants, black rhinos, hippos, giraffes and cheetahs. In the early 1970s, there were more than 110,000 15,217 elephants in the reserve, which have now dwindled to only XNUMX XNUMX due to intense killing because of their white teeth. The forests are now filled with armed guards to protect the wildlife.

It is recommended to follow professional guidelines for a safe yet adventurous safari experience. Tourists are advised to keep their voices down when animals are around, otherwise they may become aggressive and attack. In addition, it will be safer if you keep your distance from the animals.

  1. Namib Desert, Namibia
    Safaris in remote areas are dangerous not only because of wild animals, but also because of the harsh climate that can send you to the hospital, so the Namib Desert is on this list. These dry and dusty wastelands are the oldest in the world, if not the largest. The Namib Desert has strange weather. When you drive to the inland dunes, you will be covered by a thick fog and you will start to feel the cold, which can be disturbing and dangerous.
