There are many animals you can come across on a safari holiday, but obviously some animals are more anticipated than others.

Here’s a quick list to give you a taste of what’s out there in Africa, and we know some of you will share these animals as favorites on a safari holiday.

• Gorilla – The size of these wonderful creates is unbelievable, and it can be a privilege to get a glimpse of them in their high flying life.
• Elephant – Again, size is important with these but by observing elephants you come to realise just how clever these animals are.
• Lion – They have to be on the list, especially as they’re King of the Jungle, the only drawback is that they can sleep for over 20 hours.
• Meerkats – They may be small but they are actually becoming one of the favourite animals, and a well known insurance advert has definitely played a part in their popularity.
• Tigers, Again another wonderful creature, which is quick fierce and not always easy to spot, so it really is fantastic when you do.
