Some people travel halfway around the world to visit ancient old buildings or embark on a culinary adventure. However, animal<\/a> lovers will travel to catch a glimpse of a rare creature.<\/p>

Nothing stirs the wanderlust of an animal lover like wildlife documentaries<\/a>\u00a0such as\u00a0BBC\u2019s Planet Earth<\/em>. For these aspiring David Attenboroughs, a week in a glamorous city can\u2019t compare to the open range where the deer and the antelope play.<\/p>

While most cities have zoos and aquariums, viewing an animal in captivity saddens animal lovers more than it does excite them. Thankfully, there are plenty of places to observe animals in their natural <\/a>habitat, where they are nurtured and cared for rather than exploited.<\/p>

If you can\u2019t justify travelling just to shop, eat and see yet another shabby building, why not head to the wild savannah to spot cheetahs and wildebeest.<\/p>

For that, we\u2019ve rounded up a list of 10 places all animal lovers should visit at least once in their lifetime.<\/p>
