Go on a Safari in the most stunning African reserves

Written by Valentina Romano

Surely almost everyone watched the world famous cartoon of the Lion King.

Amazing landscapes of infinite fields of yellow grass and green level grounds, breath-taking sunsets over red coloured mountains: these are all features that were shown in the Walt Disney’s movie, and that were all taken from the stunning African savannah.

Indeed, what the Lion King represents, is an animated version of the real ‘animal world’ of central Africa, which sees lions, elephants and zebras, all living together in full-harmony – and by full harmony I don’t mean holding hands lovingly; but fulfilling the cycle of nature.

In other words, if you are fan of the Lion King, or you have always been fascinated by the African lands, you should definitely go on a Safari and live the beauty and the fascination of the savannah on first hand. The only thing you have to do now, is pick a natural reserve, book your flight and pack comfortable clothes!

To make your life easier, The Golden Scope shortlisted the most beautiful and authentic reserves, where you can actually have the amazing safari experience you dreamt of.

So, what to do now? Sit back, relax and read the following guide to the best parks letting the pictures and the descriptions pull you inside an African dimension.
