It is critical to understand that it is possible to see wildlife while not DISTURBING the wildlife. And for purposes of this article, we are not discussing animals in captivity in zoos, wildlife parks or aquariums. The best places to see wild animals in their natural habitat can vary depending on the species you're interested in, but here are ten destinations known for their incredible wildlife viewing opportunities.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Famous for the annual wildebeest migration, Serengeti offers sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, and a variety of other wildlife.

Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Home to unique species such as marine iguanas, giant tortoises, and blue-footed boobies, the Galápagos Islands offer unparalleled opportunities for wildlife encounters.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Similar to the Serengeti, Maasai Mara is renowned for its wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhinoceros) and the Great Migration.

One of Africa's largest game reserves, Kruger National Park is home to diverse wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and buffalo.

Borneo's rainforests are home to orangutans, pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, and a wide array of other wildlife species.
