African Safaris are great, but afterwards you are no longer interested in the zoo
African Safaris are also known as game drives where the goal is to see and admire wild animals in their natural environment. This includes the Big Five (Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo) and also Giraffe, Antelopes and Zebras. In India you may not be able to see the big Five, but Tiger Safaris are unique.
Goal should always be to give the animals space and let them roam freely without endangering or hurting them. Taking a good picture is fine, but not an absolute must-have under all conditions. Being surrounded by animals in their natural environment is already a privilege that should be cherished.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of those places in Africa where you can find all wildlife - including the Big Five - on a very small area. And they will stay there till you visit as well, because they are "trapped" in a large volcano crater with steep walls around them...
