The Best Nature Destinations list highlights travellers’ favorite places to enjoy the outdoors around the world. Kruger National Park, with all its beauty and natural splendour, featured at number 20 on the list and was described by TripAdvisor as ‘a synonym for the word safari‘:

“The largest game reserve in South Africa, Kruger National Park is basically a synonym for the word “safari.” Home to over 500 bird species, 100 reptiles, nearly 150 mammals, multiple archaeological sites, and a stunningly diversity of trees and flowers, Kruger is the country’s flagship national park. Adventurers can explore the park in a 4×4, take a bush walk or fly above in a hot-air balloon.”

The Top 10 TripAdvisor Best Nature Destinations were as follows:

  1. Mauritius, Africa
  2. Kathmandu, Nepal
  3. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
  4. Hurghada, Egypt
