Serengeti National Park
#5 in Best National Parks in the World
Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park is the world-renowned home of The Great Migration. Every year, 2 million wildebeests and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles cross the park in search of food and breeding grounds. Predicting when this momentous event will occur can be tricky, so if you don’t have that kind of flexibility, a traditional safari is your best bet. You’ll have the chance to see Serengeti’s incredible landscape, as well as animals like leopards, lions, elephants, buffaloes and rhinoceroses.
Jasper National Park
#6 in Best National Parks in the World
As the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper offers no shortage of outdoor fun. Come to this Alberta national park to enjoy an array of adventure activities in summer, including hiking, biking and boating, plus snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ice climbing in winter. A spring visit will give you a front-row look at rushing waterfalls and offers prime bird-watching opportunities, while a fall trip lends itself well to camping. No matter when you visit, be sure you take some time to stargaze: Jasper is the second-largest dark sky preserve in the world.
