Mountain Gorillas in Uganda

Uganda may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of safari, but its gorilla population makes it an incredible destination. Take a private charter flight from Entebbe to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - or charter a car from the nearby Butogota. Home to around half of the world's mountain gorillas, the park is the best place to track the endangered, majestic creature. The lush scenery, as well as the chance to spot lions, zebras, buffaloes, elephants, leopards and baboons, completes the experience in this untouched area of Africa. Uganda Wildlife Authority

Snow Leopards in Ladakh

Equally rare, is the elusive and beautiful snow leopard. Ladakh, a high-altitude desert situated in the Indian side of the Himalayas, is one of the best places to catch the mesmerising creature. It's a tough place to access, and the environment is harsh, but efforts are rewarded with breathtaking scenery. Tour groups here tend to be kept small due to the intimate nature of the area and, as well as tracking the snow leopard, guides often include meetings with locals and an insight into the small Ladakh community's way of life. If you miss the snow leopard, the stunning, mountainous region is is also home to the golden hawk, brown bears, blue sheep and Argali. For an example tour, see here.

Jaguars in Brazil

The beaches of Rio aren't the only thing Brazil has going for it, nor is the Amazon. Step into Pantanal - a tropical wetland in western Brazil - and you'll find a world of flora and fauna. Ecotourism is big here and it's easy to find eco-friendly lodges and local inns within the 54,00 square mile area. Special safari tours can be organised from interior cities such as Corumba, Miranda or Coxim with the aim of spotting the magnificent jaguar as well as other endangered species and wildlife including alligators, capybaras, macaws and anacondas.

The Big Five in South Africa

Famously home to the 'big five' - leopard, lion, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant - South Africa is one of the world's most familiar safari destinations. Seeing these mammels in their natural habitat has been wowing tourists since the days of Livingstone and non of the novelty has worn off. South Africa has game parks aplenty around the country, offering budget day parks, luxury five star resorts and everything inbetween. South Africa Tourist Board

Elephants in India

Elephants are worshipped in Hindu mythology as the deity Ganesha, Remover of Obstacles. Forget the tired tourist experience of riding on the back of an elephant and set out in search of elephants in the wild - there are an estimated 25,000 wild elephants in India, so the odds are good. Southern India, particularly the Nagarhole National Park in Karnataka, is the best area to see elephants in their natural forest and bamboo thicket environment. Package tours are available here to tourists. Nagarhole National Park
