Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: It is one of the best places to see cheetahs. With its wide open grassy plains and variety of prey animals, this is unquestionably the ideal cheetah habitat.

Masai Mara National Park, Kenya: One of the largest cheetah densities in Africa can be found in Masai Mara National Park. It also has one of the greatest tourist populations, therefore, many animals, including the cheetah, are less cautious of cars. In some situations, the cheetahs are so accustomed to the cars that they utilise them as a high ground to climb up and have a nice view of the green plains. (Unsplash)

Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana: The Central Kalahari is made up of a combination of grassy plains and basins which are ideal hunting grounds for cheetahs. Due to less number of predators, it is home to a healthy cheetah population. The months of March through July are ideal for visiting the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.(istockphoto)
