The recent boom of safari tourism in Asia can be attributed to the continent’s many national parks, safaris and wildlife reserves being open to travellers from across the world. Your pulse will surely race at the thought of taking a safari through these dense forests, which are home to many endangered animals.
Here are 5 best national parks to explore in Asia
1. Ranthambore National Park, India
