There’s nothing like seeing the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo) in the wild on a safari in Africa. But destinations like Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and other parts of Africa aren’t the only places to enjoy wildlife and have memorable safari-style adventures. While you won’t be able to catch the Big 5 in these safari destinations, you can still spot some incredible flora, fauna, and natural wonders in these top spots for wildlife viewing and experiences outside of Africa .

The best Indian safaris for spotting wildlife in India are tiger safaris. One of India’s most popular places for a tiger safari is Ranthambore National Park , which is 3 or 4 hours by car from Jaipur. Here, you can spot Bengal tigers , as well as leopards, deer, gazelle, foxes, wild boar, and serpents like cobras and pythons , among others, from Jeep (for 6) or by Canter truck (for up to 20). The best time to visit is between October and June (the park is closed from July to September).

Kaziranga National Park in Assam has also been made a tiger reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Additionally, there are more than 2,000 rhinos in the park (the largest population of Indian rhinoceros) and many elephants, water buffalo, swamp deer, and bird species. November to April is the best time to visit, as the park closes between May and October for monsoon season.

Other places to spot wildlife in India include Gir National Park , home to 500+ Asiatic lions (the only place outside of Africa where you can spot lions in the wild), Tadoba National Park , where you can view tigers, and Panna Tiger Reserve , where you can admire tigers, leopards, and more than 200 different bird species .

Many safaris in Africa have an age requirement, and young children are often not allowed. While you should check the details of the park you choose, safaris in India and other destinations are often more flexible about age limits and allow children. However, you might want to think twice about bringing a child younger than 5, as safaris are often long, hot, and require a solid attention span.

Some of the best Amazon jungle safaris occur in Peru . Start in Iquitos, the world’s largest city that’s only reachable by boat or air . Known as the gateway to the Amazon, this trip is ideal for anyone who wants to take a safari by boat and understand more about the unique wildlife of the Amazon rainforest.

Most Peruvian Amazon River safaris are about a week long, and you stay overnight in jungle river lodges along the way. Expect to view pink dolphins, river turtles and otters, spider and saki monkeys, sloths, black anacondas, and so many more. Along the way, you get to explore the depths of the Amazon rainforest and local river villages and Indigenous communities.

An Amazon River safari is enjoyable year-round, but there are important considerations, as river depths can vary by up to 23 feet depending on the time of year you visit. June through November is the low water season , meaning you must trek deeper into the jungle on foot to see more wildlife. If you prefer to simply glide along the river and admire the flora and fauna from the water, it’s best to go during the high water season, which is December through May . Although you see more rain and have to deal with higher humidity levels then, you may spot more wildlife, especially monkeys.

Wild elephants roam in many areas of Sri Lanka and aren’t just limited to nature reserves. I’ve spotted them crossing random lagoons and munching on leaves along the forest-lined highway from a bus. But if you want a true safari experience, you have options. Northern Sri Lanka has Minneriya National Park and Kaudulla National Park, where large herds of Asian elephants gather .

And you don’t have to plan too far in advance. Just look for local guides in the nearby town of Sigiriya, and they’ll tell you which park has more current herd sightings, which usually depends on the season. For about $60, you can arrange a private, 3-hour Jeep safari into the park to watch these gentle giants gather.

Down south, Udawalawe National Park, which sits on the banks of the Walawe River, is another excellent place to spot elephant herds. Not too far away, Yala National Park is also a prime place to spot elephants, leopards, and 215 different bird species . Since the south and north of the country have different rainy seasons, you can find an elephant safari year-round to fit your travel plans as you explore the country.

There are 2 areas in Alaska where you can spot polar bears in the wild: Kaktovik and Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) . A Kaktovik polar bear tour means getting a charter flight to Barter Island (part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge ) between August and October when polar bears tend to gather along the coast. Tours are often done in polar rovers , large, bus-like vehicles with lots of windows and a viewing deck.

In Utqiagvik, it’s best to go with a guide , and you may need a permit to visit some of the areas where you’re most likely to spot polar bears. In either region, the best way to view bears safely without disrupting the natural environment is with a reputable guide. Most tours aren’t cheap , so this type of wildlife adventure is best for luxury travelers or those ready to splurge .

Flying to Alaska? Alaska Airlines is overhauling its award chart in March 2024. Make sure to educate yourself on the changes and updates before booking any trips with the airline.

The island of Borneo is unique, as it’s shared by 3 different countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei . The best areas to spot orangutans are the Sabah and Sarawak regions of the Malaysian part of the island . Orangutans sit high in trees along rivers such as the Kinabatangan River, which is why small-boat safaris are popular in the area. However, be prepared to learn about the loss of habitat in the region, including deforestation, to create palm oil farms, which will rapidly reduce the natural spaces in which orangutans live.

Another area where you can see an orangutan in the wild is the Danum Valley Conservation Area , home to a 130-million-year-old ancient rainforest . Here, you may spot Bornean pygmy elephants, clouded leopards, and orangutans via Jeep safaris, treks, or canopy walkways.

Visit Borneo in the dry season (April to August) , when orangutans are more likely to come out into sight in search of food and water. However, if you visit between March and October, your chances of seeing pygmy elephants and proboscis monkeys are high. This region is also relatively affordable, so it’s perfect for a budget to midrange safari, especially if you don’t mind roughing it in no-frills jungle camps.

Admire iconic wildlife in the continental U.S. in Yellowstone National Park . The park makes for the ideal family-friendly, quick dose of wildlife , as you can drive through the park’s Hayden Valley , a massive meadow filled with wolves, bears, bison, and birds.

While you can drive through fairly quickly if you’ve got young kids in the backseat, you can also park, sit, and pull out those binoculars for a more leisurely connection with nature. There are also viewpoints and stops where you can walk down to the river, but hikers should take real caution, as grizzly bear encounters can and do occur. Lamar Valley is another area where you can usually see bison and other animals. Note that park entry is $35 for vehicles, valid for 7 days, which also allows access to Grand Teton National Park .

Although August is one of the most popular times to visit (you’ll definitely encounter crowds), it’s also the best time to visit Yellowstone National Park when it comes to viewing bison.

Be sure to follow park guidelines for viewing wildlife and never try to get close to wild animals, feed them, or take selfies with them. There’s been a spate of people getting injured and animals being harmed or even dying in recent years at Yellowstone because of tourists ignoring the rules. You can be jailed, fined, and banned from the park for disturbing the wildlife.

Spot alligators, turtles, deer, wild hogs, and more with an Everglades Safari Park tour, an easy addition to a trip to Miami or Fort Lauderdale . Safaris range from group airboat tours to private airboat tours, making it the ideal half-day adventure for those who want a fun wildlife activity without overspending (group tours are $47 per adult and $20 per child).

Besides taking a boat ride, visitors can wind their way around the jungle trail boardwalk to spot birds and reptiles. Although you can visit year-round, heading over in the winter months (the cooler season, though still warm and sunny in Florida) means the park’s less likely to be buggy and humid , and you may spot American alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the swamp. You may also discover raccoons and opossums.

These toddling, tuxedoed birds are some of the cutest animals out there, and you can see them in various destinations in Chile. One of these spots is Isla Magdalena, about 2 hours away from Punta Arenas in southern Chile . The island is home to the Monumento Natural Los Pingüinos , thanks to the 60,000 penguins that reside there .

You must visit the protected space on a tour, and tours are only available from September to March when the penguins breed (February is ideal for spotting the penguin chicks). Know that the weather can be extremely unpredictable, so plan accordingly for any conditions, even if it’s sunny and dry when you first set off.

Chiloé  is another Chilean island where these adorable, fuzzy creatures live and one of the few spots on the planet where you can view both Humboldt and Magellanic penguins . Stay in the main town of Castro, then drive an hour or 2 to the Puñihuil islets to view the penguins. As with Isla Magdalena, you want to head to Chiloé during the breeding season, usually from October to March. Chiloé also has highlights like Chiloé National Park (home to the pudu, the world’s smallest deer) and a collection of colorful UNESCO World Heritage-listed churches.

Chile isn’t the only country where you can spot penguins. You can also see them in South Africa, New Zealand, the Galapagos Islands, and Antarctica.

If seeing historically significant wildlife off Ecuador is on your bucket list, the Galápagos Islands — where the diversity and uniqueness of the local fauna inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution — is the place to do it. Some of the largest colonies of sea lions reside in San Cristobal , but you may spot them from many different areas in the Galápagos Islands. If you want to do this adventure on your own (and more affordably), fly into San Cristóbal Airport (SCY), where you can spot sea lions around the island and snorkel with them on La Loberia Beach.

Luxury travelers with big budgets should consider a Galápagos cruise . Don’t expect massive cruise ships here, though. These boat trips are intimate, often carbon neutral, and adventure- and nature-oriented, with variants that let you kayak, canoe, snorkel, and stargaze as you cruise through the islands.

One of the best Costa Rican wildlife tours is viewing the sloths at Manuel Antonio National Park . Here, you can also find reptiles and monkeys (they’ll even open your backpacks in search of food, so don’t leave them unattended). The park also offers activities beyond guided day tours, like zip lines, mangrove tours, and night walks.

Another place to see animals in the wild in Costa Rica is Corcovado National Park . It’s the largest primary forest on the American Pacific and home to 13 different ecosystems, featuring an impressive range of biodiversity within its cloud forests, beaches, mangroves, and waterfalls. Keep an eye out for sleepy sloths in trees, 25 different lizard species, 400 types of birds, and more than 10,000 insect species. And watch out for snakes!

The best time to see wildlife in Costa Rica is year-round . Birdwatchers and sunseekers may prefer to visit when birds nest during the dry season (December to April). However, the rainy season (May to November) is deemed “the green season” and is also an exceptionally beautiful time to visit if you don’t mind daily rain showers.

About 50% of the world’s jaguars roam the tropical wetlands of Brazil, primarily in the Pantanal, flooded grasslands that also cover part of Bolivia and Paraguay. Because the wetlands are so massive (42 million acres), it’s important to head to the area where you’re most likely to spot these large cats: Mato Grosso .

One of the safest and most enjoyable ways to see jaguars in the Pantanal is by river cruise along the Cuiaba River . You can admire the cats safely from afar while also spotting other wildlife in Brazil, such as crocodiles, giant otters, marsh deers, giant anteaters, anacondas (green and yellow), and the jabiru , one of the largest flightless birds in the Americas.

Head to the Pantanal from June to October (dry season), where jaguars meander to the river banks to warm up in the sunlight.

Heading somewhere called the “Graveyard of the Atlantic” might seem rather morbid, but Sable Island’s nickname comes from its more than 350 offshore shipwrecks, not its population of around 500 wild Sable Island horses .

The Nova Scotian island’s horses survive entirely without human intervention , and visitors must stay 20 meters (about 65 feet) away without touching, feeding, or interacting with them. The horses gallop around Sable Island National Park Reserve , which you can visit between June and October or in January and February by air or sea .

More than 350 migratory bird species i nhabit the island, and you can discover wildlife like the world’s largest breeding colony of gray seals . Although the seals have their pups in February, June is also a good time to spot them lounging on beaches — it’s their molting season.

Tasmania is the only destination in the world where you can view Tasmanian devils in their natural habitat . There are only 25,000 of these carnivorous marsupials left , thanks to devil facial tumor disease, a contagious form of cancer.

These creatures tend to be nocturnal, so it’s tougher to spot them in the wild. If you want to see them, it’s best to visit a wildlife sanctuary such as Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary or the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo , both of which work to protect this and other endemic species. Both spots offer tours and interactive experiences where you can view and learn more about these endangered creatures.

Although you can visit year-round, the best time to visit Tasmania is the dry, warm summer season, which runs from December to February.

While Tasmanian devils aren’t normally aggressive to humans, they have extremely strong jaws and a very sharp bite. It’s best to look and not touch.

You’ll have to head to a remote Indonesian destination to spot these dinosaur-like creatures: Komodo National Park . The park spans nearly 30 different islands, but you’re most likely to spot these massive creepy crawlers, also known as Komodo lizards or Komodo monitors, on islands like Komodo, Rinca, Gili Motang, Gili Dasami, and Flores . The dragons can grow to nearly 10 feet and can be aggressive , so it’s best to view them on a guided tour and at a distance. Besides being the place to check out these huge creatures, the islands are beautiful, home to pink sand beaches, jagged peaks, cloud forests, mangroves, and crystal-clear ocean waters.

For the best weather conditions, head over in the dry season, from April to December . July and August are Komodo mating season, so you may notice male dragons fighting for the attention of female dragons. To arrive, fly from Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali to Labuan Bajo Airport (LBJ) and hop on a boat tour or overnight liveaboard diving boat from there .

You can swim, snorkel, or dive with manta rays in many destinations around the world, but for some of the clearest waters and best chances of seeing these underwater creatures, Maldives is the place to go. In particular, Hanifaru Bay on the Baa Atoll (declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve) attracts mantas with its plankton-filled waters from May to December . On a clear day, you might be able to spot dozens, if not hundreds, of mantas when snorkeling .

Since the area is protected, diving isn’t allowed (only snorkeling), and the number of boats is limited and may be subject to timed entry. The small bay is off an uninhabited island, and you may also catch sight of whale sharks and other marine life, too.

One of the closest points hotels to Hanifaru is the Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort . Bulk up your stash of Marriott Bonvoy points and stay for free using a Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card such as the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express ® Card or the more premium Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant ®  American Express ®  Card . Chase Ultimate Reward points earned with a card such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve ® also transfer to Marriott’s Bonvoy program.

While Africa is an incredible safari destination, it’s not the only destination around the world where you can view animals in the wild. No matter your budget or travel style, there’s a wildlife experience around the world that’s right for you.

Best Safaris Outside Africa

Where in the world to see serious wildlife.

Most people think of safaris and big five spotting in Africa comes to mind, but there are countless other equally fascinating safari experiences available for nature buffs outside the traditional safari heartland of Africa.

What’s more, some of these less well-known safari destinations can work out far cheaper than that out of reach luxury tent experience in Kruger . Want to see tigers, jaguars, elephants and leopards? You need to check out one of these destinations on your next safari trip, from our list of best safaris outside Africa :

1. Sri Lanka for an alternative “big five”

Sri Lanka has recently been tipped off by wildlife experts as the best safari destination outside of Africa, thanks to its own ‘big five’: Asian elephants, leopards , sloth bears, blue whales, and sperm whales.

The Asian elephant, the largest terrestrial animal on the continent can be spotted in Minneriya National Park during ‘ The Gathering ’ from August-September – when up to 300 elephants can be seen gathering by the lake bed. (Do you know the differences between African and Asian elephants ?)

For leopards, head to Yala National Park – home to the highest density of wild leopards in the world. The open nature of the park’s terrain makes it a prime sport for leopard watching on a jeep tour. The park also boasts a plethora of colourful birdlife, and promises a rare sighting of the sloth bear, which is only found in the Indian Sub-continent.

Few people know of the whale watching opportunities on the South Coast of the island, but there are extraordinary numbers of Blue and Sperm whales congregating off Dondra Head from January to April. Tour operators like Responsible Travel offer itineraries with private chartered boat tours, for your own sea safari.

2. Singapore for a night safari

The “world’s first safari park for nocturnal animals”, Singapore’s Night Safari has 2,500 different species of animals from all over the world, all existing in their naturalistic nighttime habitats.  The main aspect of the safari is a guided tram ride through seven different geographical zones and their wildlife, from the Himalayas to creatures of the rainforest – for a more personal, close up experience you can opt to do this tour on your own with a dedicated guide.

One of the huge advantages of the night safari is the range of animals you can see, and the different ways to see them – especially the dedicated nature trails that allow you to walk through the habitats and see the animals up close – park has a leopard, fishing cat and wallaby trail, and two giant aviaries where you can see flying foxes and squirrels more closely.

3. Brazil for jaguars

With its diverse range of natural habitats and huge rainforests, South America is an underrated, but excellent place to see a huge range of wildlife up close. Home to most of South America’s largest mammals, countless bird and reptile species, and the most prized animal sighting in the area – the jaguar, the Pantanal region in Brazil is the world’s largest wetland area, and a great starting point for a South American safari trip.

The expanse of the Pantanal means there is a broad selection of Brazilian animals to spot, from the jaguars, giant otters and macaws in the north, to the pumas and giant anteaters in the south, and there is a good selection of safari options are available, from horseback, to walking and jeep safaris – although safaris by boat are the most popular option (with more chances to see jaguars). It’s also possible to manage a trip on pretty much any budget – from high-end luxury stays to backpacking Brazil in style .

Fancy a trip? The best time of the year to visit is during the drier months of June to October, when the jaguars are easiest to spot on safari, as they congregate around areas of water looking for prey. Not sure how leopards are different from jaguars ?

4. India rhino spotting

Whilst Africa’s rhinos are beasts to be extremely wary of, north-east India is home to the relatively approachable one-horned rhino. The expansive flat grasslands of Kaziranga National Park   has a population of over 1600 Indian one-horned rhinos, comprising over two-thirds of the world’s total. There are several ranges within the park that offer excellent viewing opportunities for rhinos, as well as elephants, swamp deer, and plenty of birdlife.

The extra twist with rhino-spotting in Kaziranga is the option of an elephant-back ride around the park, which allows you to get within 2 meters of the very relaxed rhinos. Elephant rides start in November when the grass is elephant-high so the ride can feel like sailing mysteriously on a green sea. The grass burns off in December or January improving visibility, and by February new sprouts and cooler temperatures tempt more big game to venture into the open. In especially dry years the park opens for jeep safaris from mid-October.

5. Nepalese jungle safari

The southern belt of Nepal is known as the Terai – a low land covered in dense subtropical forest offering some great jungle safaris . The outstanding safari area in the vicinity is Royal Chitwan National Park, where you can choose from an elephant back safari, canoe safari, walking safari or four-wheel drive safaris to view the local wildlife in their natural habitat.  Chitwan is home to the elusive Royal Bengal tiger and leopard, as well as one-horned rhinoceros, a variety of deer, wild boar, wild bison, monkeys, and sloth bear.

Sharjah Safari: An Enchanting Experience

Karlin Van Der Vyver

Nestled within the embrace of nature, Sharjah Safari has emerged as a captivating haven for adventure enthusiasts. As the largest safari outside of Africa, this remarkable destination offers a unique opportunity for tourists and visitors to witness Africa’s native wildlife thriving in their natural habitat. Unlike traditional zoos with enclosures, Sharjah Safari allows the African fauna to roam freely, recreating the essence of their true environment. Boasting an impressive array of over 120 animal species, spanning across 12 diverse African-inspired environments, Sharjah Safari is an extraordinary living representation of the continent’s rich life forms and landscapes.

The Visionary Behind Sharjah Safari

The driving force behind this visionary endeavor is none other than HH Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed al Qasimi, the Ruler of Sharjah and a prominent Member of the Federal Supreme Council. His unwavering commitment to preserving biodiversity and the environment for future generations sparked the conceptualization of Sharjah Safari back in 2016. This ambitious project came to fruition in 2022, guided by the noble vision of acquainting UAE citizens and tourists alike with the mesmerizing African flora and fauna.

Collaborative Effort for Ecological Sustainability

Realizing the vision of Sharjah Safari required close collaboration between local and international experts. Their collective mission was clear: to create an ecologically sustainable project that seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape while safeguarding the existing ecosystem. One crucial aspect of this endeavor was the careful selection of construction materials.

Cape Reed: A Perfect Fit for Sustainability and Authenticity

Enter Cape Reed, renowned for its expertise in utilizing wood and thatch in architectural projects. This choice was a natural fit, as their structures harmoniously blend with the environment, perfectly aligning with the project’s ethos. Animal enclosures, viewing platforms, fences, gates, thatched roofs , and shading structures were meticulously crafted from responsibly sourced timber and natural thatch. The infusion of wood and thatch throughout the park breathed life into diverse areas and environments. This fusion of sustainability, authenticity, and cultural resonance created an extraordinary experience for both inhabitants and visitors, forging a connection that goes beyond mere architecture.

Harmony with Nature: The Organic Appeal

The utilization of wood and thatch allowed for an organic blending with the natural surroundings. From a majestic visitor’s center to scenic viewing platforms, these materials exuded an earthy charm that fostered a seamless connection between architecture and the landscape. The warmth of wood combined with the rustic allure of thatch roofing created an undeniable harmony that resonates with everyone who steps foot in the park.

Sustainability at Sharjah Safari

Sustainability was a core focus of this construction project. Responsibly sourced wood, a renewable resource, contributes to forest preservation, aligning perfectly with the park’s commitment to the environment. Moreover, thatch, derived from natural grasses, minimizes environmental impact when compared to energy-intensive alternatives such as metal or concrete.

Cultural and Historical Significance of Thatch

The embrace of thatch extends beyond its ecological benefits. With centuries of use as a roofing material across diverse cultures, thatch pays homage to traditional building practices while infusing the environment with a sense of historical depth. It’s a testament to the cultural heritage of humanity, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the park.

Elevating the Visitor Experience

The utilization of wood and thatch goes beyond sustainability and cultural significance; it also enhances the visitor experience. The natural textures and soothing aromas create an immediate connection with the surroundings. Lodges and shelters fashioned from these materials offer an authentic and cozy ambiance, ensuring a memorable stay for guests.

A Testament to Natural Marvels

Sharjah Safari Park stands as a remarkable testament to the wonders of the natural world. It offers an immersive journey that educates, entertains, and inspires. Whether you’re an animal enthusiast, a family seeking adventure, or an individual passionate about wildlife conservation, the park promises a unique experience. Sharjah Safari allows guests to witness animals in their native surroundings, traversing savannas, jungles, and deserts, all while uncovering the enchantment of the animal kingdom like never before.

Sharjah Safari

A new world-class tourist destination, Sharjah Safari is the new spot for all adventure lovers.

Experience real adventure in the largest safari in the world outside Africa, and enjoy an adventure that takes you to the jungles, here in Sharjah

A new tourist destination, inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, on February 17, 2022, Sharjah Safari is the new spot for all adventure lovers. A picturesque place nestled in the lap of nature, Sharjah Safari constitutes a rare opportunity for tourists and visitors to observe the endemic wildlife in Africa. Native African faunae roam without fences, in an environment similar to their natural environment. Sharjah Safari is host to more than 120 species of animals, which live in Africa and up to 50,000 animals, ranging from birds, reptiles and mammals; such as lions, elephants, giraffes, black and white rhinoceros, crocodiles, deer, bulls and many other endangered animals.

12 different environments, inspired by all parts of Africa, represent the life and terrain of the continent, and the animals and birds that live in it. Sharjah Safari contains several areas that simulate the real regions of Africa, and the first area, "To Africa", takes visitors on a unique walking experience to explore the wildlife endemic to the islands and archipelagos scattered along the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The second region, the Sahel, is represented by deserts, pastures and diverse wildlife. It extends in Africa from the Atlantic coast of Mauritania in the west to Eritrea and the Red Sea in the east, and is a transitional area rich in wildlife between the Sahara Desert in the north and the Savannah to the south.

The third region, the Savannah, extends in eastern and southern Africa from the coast in the north to the Kalahari in the southwest. This African tropical grassland covers half the area of the African continent and is home to the largest concentration of biodiversity on Earth. While the fourth region, the Serengeti, celebrates the largest migration of animals in the world every year, as large groups of herbivores migrate across the Serengeti plains, and works to attract predators and animals that feed on carrion, crossing the Mara River, where Nile crocodiles lie in the murky waters, a dangerous predator to migratory herbivores.

The fifth region, Nkorongoro, formed from an extinct crater, is a unique ecosystem and home to some of Africa's most famous species. While the sixth region, Moremi, is inspired by the canyons and valleys of southwest Africa that were formed over centuries by heavy monsoon rains, and these dry and sandy riverbeds contain aquifers that support life throughout the dry season.

Activities Highlights

• The safari includes many public service sites and recreational sites for children, in addition to a wonderful natural lake surrounded by a group of restaurants and cafes, which is an ideal stop to relax after a long safari tour.

7 Places Where You Can See Big Game Outside Of Africa

People dream of seeing the Big Five— lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceros— in one of Africa's incredible national parks, but it's an expensive and time consuming trip that's not always feasible.

Fortunately, there are plenty of other places to see big game outside of Africa.

India has tigers, Brazil has jaguars, and the U.S. has bears, wolves, bison, and more.

Here are the best places to go on safari that are not in Africa.

Sri Lanka is considered one of the best safari destinations outside of Africa. The Southeast Asian country has its own "Big Five": Asian elephants, leopards, sloth bears, blue whales and sperm whales.

Yala National Park is supposed to have the highest leopard density in the world, while herds of Asian elephants make their home in Udawalawe National Park. Several tour operators also organize trips through the Indian Ocean to spot blue whales.

The best time of year to go to Sri Lanka is January to April, during the dry season.

From the dense Amazon jungle to the wetlands of the Pantanal, Brazil is teeming with wildlife. The country also has its own "Big Five": Brazilian tapirs, giant anteaters, giant river otters, maned wolves, and jaguars.

Many of these animals are difficult to spot, but if you head to the right region, you'll have a good chance of seeing them. The Pantanal region, the world's largest wetland, is probably your best bet, as it's home to jaguars, giant otters, macaws, pumas, and giant anteaters. Mato Grosso, which is home to maned wolves, river otters, and countless species of birds, is another good wildlife viewing region.

The best time of year to visit is during the drier months of June-October, when the Jaguars are easiest to spot on safari.

You won't find zebras or giraffes in India, but you will find tigers, elephants, one-horned rhinos, and more.

There are over 80 national parks in India. One of the best places to see one-horned rhinos is in the northern state of Assam in Kaziranga National Park, which has over 1,600 Indian one-horned rhinos, as well as elephants, swamp deer and birds.

The state of Madhya Pradesh in central India is home to several national parks, including Kanha National Park, which served as the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," and Bandhavgarh National Park, a remote park which is one of the few places where you have a good chance of seeing tigers. In Kerala, in southern India, the Periyar Tiger Reserve is home to tigers, elephants, leopards, giant squirrels, and dozens of bird species, including the elusive Kingfisher.

It's best to avoid visiting India during the monsoon, from June to September.

The U.S. is one of the largest and most beautiful countries in the world.

It has almost 60 national parks, which are teeming with wildlife.

Grizzlies make their home in Alaska's Denali National Park, coyotes abound in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, alligators and crocodiles live in Florida's Everglades, and wolves, elk, bison, bears, deer, and moose call Yellowstone National Park home, just to name a few.

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Ever since Charles Darwin discovered and studied countless species in the Galapagos Islands, it has been known as an eco-friendly destination filled with incredible animals.

There are giant sea turtles, sea lions, hammerhead sharks, bottle nose dolphins, iguanas, and more.

The only way to get around is by boat and dozens of tour operators offer tours of the region. The peak season lasts from mid-June through early September and from mid-December through mid-January, but there's really no bad time to visit.

Ok, so it's not a real safari out in the wild, but Singapore's Night Safari —the "world’s first safari park for nocturnal animals”—offers a unique way to see animals' behavior at night.

The park has over 2,500 different species of animals from all over the world, including leopards, lions, and tapirs, all of which are enclosed in their own habitats (much like a zoo).

Visitors can either take a tram or walk around the park. Tickets cost S$35 ($27) per adult.

The Nepalese jungle, known as the Terai, is a subtropical forest that's chock full of rhinos, elephants, and more. 

Explore Royal Chitwan National Park and look for animals either on elephant back, canoe, four-wheel drive vehicle, or on foot. The park is home to the Royal Bengal tiger, leopards, one-horned rhinoceros, deer, wild boar, bison, monkeys, and sloths.

Visit during the dry season from late September to early December, when the views are clearest.

Now see what it's like on an African safari.

See African wildlife including giraffes, lions and a black rhinoceros

Ready for a seriously wild adventure? Sharjah Safari Park is finally open to visitors as of Thursday February 17. Grab your binoculars and safari shirt (we know you have one); you’re not going to want to miss this.

Sharjah Safari Park is the largest safari park outside of Africa; after much anticipation the doors are finally open. Located at Al Bridi Nature Reserve, the safari park was created by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah. It is a massive wildlife attraction with over 1,000 animals and birds to see.

There are more than 120 different species with many rare animals that are native to Africa as well as over 1,000 local and African trees. Strap on your walking shoes because visitors can explore a whopping 12 environments, each representing a different region in Africa.

Aside from the wildlife itself, there are loads of other things to see at Sharjah Safari Park too. There’s going to be a large natural lake surrounded by wide range of cafes, restaurants, a conference hall, safari visitor’s camp and more.

How much does Sharjah Safari Park cost?

Bronze tickets are Dhs40 for anyone over the age of 12 or Dhs15 for kids aged three to 12. With a bronze ticket you can take a two to three hour walking tour “into Africa.”

Sharjah Safari Park Silver tickets are Dhs120 for those over 12 and Dhs50 for kids aged 3 to 12. This ticket gets you a spot on the bus for a five to six hour tour of all the environments, except for the “Serengeti”.

17 unforgettable African safaris

Set off into the wild and see the world like never before with this guide to the best experiences in 11 countries.

Chobe National Park in Botswana holds one of Africa’s largest elephant populations.

What images come to mind when you hear the words “African safari”? Sitting in the bush on a moonlit night, so close to a lion that you can feel the rumble of its roar in your chest?

Many travelers might conjure up visions of tented camps, gourmet meals under a baobab tree, game drives through golden savanna, and sundowners at the end of the day. But safaris can also involve self-guided rental cars , game walks, and fly-fishing. Safaris can be as varied as the continent of Africa itself.

One recent trend: expeditions that enlist travelers in the fight to save endangered wildlife. Tourists make a difference by joining rhino or lion conservationists at work in South Africa or accompanying researchers working on a chimpanzee habituation project in Kibale National Park in Uganda . ( Read about the dark truth behind wildlife tourism. )

No matter where you go and what type of safari you choose, timing is key. Once you’ve narrowed your options, look into the best time to visit. South Africa’s summer (December through February), for example, is prime safari season in that region. You’ll still see wildlife if you go during South Africa’s winter (June through August), but pack a jacket, as temperatures can be chilly, especially before the sun rises.

Set off into the wild and see the world like never before with our guide to top safari experiences in 11 African countries.

Spot animals in these natural wonders.

South Africa

Kruger National Park: South Africa ’s largest game reserve, Kruger National Park makes a perfect home base for self-guided and first-time safaris. Stay in one of the park’s fenced camps, such as the Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp on the northern bank of the Crocodile River. Head into the bush early to explore the Southern Circle, famous for its competing lion prides and their varied hunting practices. Don’t miss the nearby hippo pool, but be sure to stay in your car outside of the camp. ( Take a solo safari through South Africa’s wild grasslands. )

Hazyview: Not far from Kruger’s southwestern Phabeni Gate, Hazyview is a family-friendly hub for horseback safaris, zip-lining, safari golf, and trout fishing. Check in to one of the lodges, such as Hippo Hollow Country Estate , and then head out into the Kruger before sunrise on a self-guided game drive to scout lions and white rhinos. Break for lunch in the town of Skukuza.

Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: The rugged Timbavati is one of the private nature reserves that make up the greater Kruger area. Guests can choose from eight lodges there. An upscale chalet at fence-free Simbavati Safari Lodges , for example, is perfect for families. Wake up early for game drives, perhaps to search for African wild dogs . Mid-morning, kids head into the bush for a scavenger hunt with a guide.

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve: Animals aren’t the only sights to track on safari. In South Africa’s Western Cape region, wildflowers provide the dazzle. The two lodges at Grootbos , part of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World , sit amid the smallest of the world’s six floral kingdoms, home to some 800 plant species. Watch for sharks and southern right whales from your suite’s deck. ( See the world’s best places for flowers. )

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, located in South Africa’s Western Cape, offers a "flower safari" to guests.

Hlane Royal National Park: Head to Swaziland , a country landlocked between South Africa and Mozambique , to see Hlane ’s fiercely protected rhinos and marabou storks. Stay in one of the park’s two lodges, Ndlovu Camp or Bhubesi, and enjoy self-guided drives on the safe game-viewing roads that crisscross the park’s flat terrain. Spot lions, hyenas, giraffes, and vulturess, then picnic at the Mahlindza water hole.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve: Black-maned Kalahari lions roam this reserve in central Botswana . Stay just north of the reserve at Deception Valley Lodge , where you can watch magical sunsets dip into the horizon from the deck of your chalet.

Chobe National Park: To the north of Central Kalahari, Chobe National Park is home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations. And Chobe Game Lodge boasts the only all-female safari guide team in Africa. ( Meet the all-female anti-poaching unit saving rhinos and other wildlife. )

Elephants enjoy a sunny day in Botswana’s Chobe National Park.

Hwange National Park: All aboard the Elephant Express to tour the Ngamo Forest Area and Hwange National Park, known for its pachyderms and 400-plus species of birds. The two-hour safari rail trip is easily accessible to Imvelo Safari Lodges’ Bomani Tented Lodge or Camelthorn Lodge . Check out the game-viewing underground hide at nearby Stoffie’s Pan. North from Hwange, a four-hour drive or a one-hour flight gets you to regal Victoria Falls, a thundering natural wonder you can hear long before you first catch sight of it.

Mana Pools National Park: Try a river-based safari in a kayak at this remote park. The best time to go may be in April, when large herds of elephants, buffalo, kudu, and the elusive eland return to the four (or mana in the local language) large permanent pools along the south bank of the Zambezi River after the rainy season. Accommodations in the park include lodges, thatched chalets, and campsites.

Namib Desert: A safari here means brilliant stargazing, silky sand, age-old views, and resilient desert animals such as oryx, bat-eared foxes, Burchell’s zebras, and loads of lizards. Stay at & Beyond’s Sossusvlei Desert Lodge , located at the desert’s eastern edge. Explore the Namib dunes on a quad bike, and hike a craggy slope to see ancient rock paintings in a nearby cave, making sure to pack water, a hat, and sunscreen. ( See eerie photos of a Namibian ghost town. )

Gorongosa National Park: Located in central Mozambique , Gorongosa has been brought back to life after suffering the devastations of many years of civil conflict. Today, when you visit, you become a part of one of Africa’s most successful wildlife restoration stories. Home to floodplains and preserved palm forests, Gorongosa has an amazing diversity of wildlife, from antelope to primates and huge Nile crocodiles, as well as lions, elephants, and hippos.

Selous Game Reserve: Visit this off-the-beaten-track and tranquil reserve in southern Tanzania for walking safaris and traditional game drives. Then cruise the Rufiji River to watch for elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, and brindled gnu. Stay at Beho Beho , a hilltop lodge that also has secluded tree-house accommodations for the extra adventurous.

Serengeti National Park: At Asilia’s Namiri Plains camp in northern Tanzania, visitors become part of the migration as they travel in a luxury mobile camp alongside herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. Walking safaris get you closer to the action, with veteran Serengeti safari guides giving the play-by-play. The animals—often stalked by big predators, such as lions and cheetahs—follow one of Earth’s most ancient routes. And if you come too close to an animal, never run. Move away quietly.

Olare Motorogi Conservancy: Cross the border from Tanzania into southern Kenya for an iconic East African lodge experience at the Mara Plains Camp. About a 2.5-hour drive from the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, the eco-friendly camp was built by National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert with their partners at Great Plains Conservation . From camp, you’ll head out on safari to watch migrating zebras and wildebeests make exciting and risky river crossings. You may even see a few big cats. ( Experience an air safari through Kenya. )

Ragati Conservancy: Kenya may be a great place to see the migrations, but it’s also a surprisingly fantastic spot for fly-fishing. On the southern slopes of Mount Kenya (Africa’s second highest peak), the Ragati Conservancy has mountain streams stocked with glistening rainbow trout. What makes the Ragati worth the trip? Nat Geo photographer and fly fisherman Pete Muller says that while Idaho fishing is amazing, “anglers won’t encounter an elephant along the Lochsa!” Fishing in Kenya, he says, also gives fishing enthusiasts the chance to visit locations such as Aberdare National Park.

Rwanda/Uganda

Volcanoes National Park/kalinzu Forest Reserve: Rwanda ’s Volcanoes National Park allows a limited number of visitors per day to hike into the jungle to view endangered mountain gorillas up close, as they groom each other, play, and eat bamboo shoots and fruits. Keep your eyes open for golden monkeys too. Nat Geo Expeditions offers an itinerary that includes a gorilla trek, then heads north into Uganda for a chimpanzee trek through the lush Kalinzu Forest Reserve near Queen Elizabeth National Park. ( Here’s how to visit the endangered mountain gorillas of Uganda and Rwanda. )

Zakouma National Park: Intense wildlife experiences await at this park known for the number of animals that make it their home. A herd of more than 500 elephants and flocks of birds, such as the black-crowned crane, in the tens of thousands, congregate here. Zakouma had a tremendous comeback after enduring civil unrest in the region. Visit between December and April, and stay at traditional Camp Nomade, its tents decorated with local carpets and brass bells.

Haryana to build the largest safari outside Africa on more than 10,000 acres

The biggest safari outside of africa will be built in haryana and would cover 10,000 acres..

Haryana will develop the largest jungle safari park outside Africa, the state government said on Thursday. The 10,000-acre curated safari park will come up in the Aravalli range and cover parts of Gurugram and Nuh districts. "This project will be the largest such project in the world," the government statement claimed. (Also read: Travel Diaries : India's most amazing jungle getaways )

At present, Sharjah is home to the largest curated safari park outside Africa. Opened in February 2022, the Sharjah Safari covers an area of about 2,000 acres. "The proposed Aravalli park would be five times more this size and it would include a large herpetarium (a zoological exhibition space for reptiles and amphibians), aviary/bird park, four zones for big cats, a large area for herbivores, an area for exotic animal birds, an underwater world, nature trails, visitors, tourism zones, botanical gardens, biomes, equatorial, tropical, coastal, desert, etc," the government claimed in the statement.

Union Minister for Forest, Environment and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited Sharjah Safari in this regard, the state government said. Khattar reached Dubai on a day's visit on Wednesday. Upon his return on Thursday, Khattar said the NCR region of Haryana had immense potential for the development of a jungle safari.

The Jungle safari scheme will not only boost tourism but also provide employment opportunities to local residents, he said. "The Jungle safari project of Haryana would be a joint project of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the Haryana government. Under the scheme, the central government will also provide funds to Haryana for the project," said Khattar.

A global Expression of Interest was floated for the project and two companies with international experience in designing and operating such facilities have been shortlisted, the chief minister added. "The companies will now compete in an international design competition for the designing, overseeing and operating of the park. An Aravalli Foundation will be set up to manage the project," said Khattar.

The chief minister added that the Central Zoo Authority had done an evaluation study of the area and agreed on the technical feasibility of setting up such a park. On one hand, developing a jungle safari will help preserve the Aravalli mountain range while a large number of people from Delhi and adjoining areas will come for tourism, creating ample employment opportunities for local residents, he said.

"Furthermore, villagers in the surrounding villages will be benefited from the Home Stay Policy," said the chief minister. The Aravalli mountain range is home to many species of birds, wild animals and butterflies. According to the Haryana government statement, as per a survey conducted a few years ago, 180 species of birds, 15 species of mammals, 29 species of aquatic animals and reptiles and 57 species of butterflies were found in the Aravalli range.
