Plan a wildlife viewing vacation for an experience you'll never forget. Cities can provide a quick glimpse of your favorite critters, while safaris, wildlife parks, or a trip to a rainforest will give you the adventure of a lifetime. Most areas with large populations of animals provide touring services and accommodations so that even if you’re not an animal expert, a guide will help you follow the path of the herd and understand the animals in their environment better.
