Best safari parks to visit worldwide

A safari park is one you visit from a vehicle. The animals decide the timetable: game drives leave at dawn and again in the late afternoon, because the hours between are hot and most animals lie up in the shade. What you book matters more here than anywhere else in the catalogue. A day trip from a coastal hotel or a city gives you a long drive and one midday circuit; a night inside the park or at its gate gives you the two drives that produce the sightings.
