I have been in Africa sometimes, but for some reason I have never been on a real African safari. Recently, I've heard and heard a lot about safaris and that's really making me want to participate in it!

So, I did a research on when to go, what not to lose, and talked with many other travelers and bloggers about their experiences. As I learned, I learned the following:

These are the top 3 things to see/experience on an African Safari:

1- The Great Migration
There is nothing like Grande Migração. Every year, thousands of zebras, gnus and other antelopes gather their flocks to migrate across the plains of eastern Africa. He moved from the Serengeti National Park, in Tanzania, to the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Quênia, in search of better pastures.

Some of the best safari opportunities around the world are found here, across a landscape made up of volcanic meadows and vast plains interrupted by rocky outcrops, rivers and forests.

In general terms, this migration is a process that lasts or all year; They move from south to north and vice versa, in an interminável cycle. Not so, but what they are doing on a specific point and where the interest is drawn.

The river crossings are especially dangerous and spectacular to experience. The flocks gather for thousands of years to forge the waters of the Grumeti River in Tanzania and the Mara River in Quênia – both with strong currents and spirited crocodiles. Killings of crocodiles and hordes of animals in panic mean that the journeys are not only for the broken hearts; However, we offer, without doubt, some of the most dramatic encounters in the jungle life of Africa.

These migrant herds also attract some of the continent's most renowned predators, ensuring that if travelers are following the Great Migration, big cats, crocodiles and hyenas will never be far behind.

A Great Migration is the longest movement of masses of terrestrial mammals in the entire world and was listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience, for sure!

Where and when to attend Grande Migração?
The Great Migration generally moves clockwise across the Serengeti Plains, in Tanzania, and in the Masai Mara Reserve, in Quênia, and then forms a large circle again.

2- The Big Five

The Big 5 are a group of mammals endemic to Africa and say they are the most difficult to hunt. Embora você não faça isso, it's still fun to try to identify them. Eles são o leão, cheetah, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros. Unfortunately, the latter may be more difficult to find due to declining numbers.

Identify the five big goals of many travelers. I personally recommend that you do not expect to find all five, since many travelers will not see all of them and, at least, you will be surprised when you see all of them.

Also, there are many other animals worth watching! Personally, it's a bad idea to wait to see a giraffe or a hippopotamus!

3- The green station

The green season is low, but your advantages!

The green station is burned due to the amount of people that are low and low due to the increase in chuvas. Transform dry Savannah into verdant grasses.

This sudden abundance of food means that it is the perfect time for animals like antelope to reproduce – or it means that, further into the feeding chain, animals and cheetahs have a perfect meal waiting for them.

It is worth venturing on a safari in Botswana during the green season to see how much impact a little bit of green can have on the landscape and on the lives of the animals we live in. It's not just a good thing for you to cheer up, but the amount of jungle life that appears also increases. In particular, you need to watch for bugs and birds that are beginning to appear – the birds naturally come out of their habitat to hunt for insects that are beginning to fly due to fauna that is appearing. It's a big circle!

For photographers, Estação Verde presents the best light of the year. The washing of the chuva is crisp and clear, making the cores jump and by the sun piled in clouds seem incredible. There is very much time in the jungle to capture; two babies taking the first steps in dramatic scenes of life and death of interactions with predators and prey.
