Or seen the ocean turning black as a sperm whale glides under your boat? Seeing an animal in its natural habitat can be the best bit of your trip (and provides dreamy photo potential). The good news is that you definitely don\u2019t have to fork out for a long-haul ticket to have a brush with Mother Nature. Get planning your trip with the <strong>best safari parks in Europe<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Best safari parks in Europe:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Azores, Portugal<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Calimani Park, Romania<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Camargue National Park, France<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Merfelder Bruch Nature Reserve, Germany<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Skinnskatteberg, Sweden<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Somiedo Natural Park, Spain, Asturias<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bia\u0142owie\u017ca, Poland<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Coa Valley, Portugal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Whales, The Azores<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you see pictures of The Azores\u2019 lush green pastures and volcanic lakes, you could be forgiven for thinking that this string of nine islands is in the tropics. In fact, it\u2019s a region of sunny Portugal! Between April and October, some of the ocean\u2019s most gentle giants glide by on their yearly migration, including blue, fin and sei whales. Sperm whales live in the islands all year round, gorging themselves on giant squid and growing up to 20m long, while humpbacks tend to appear in October.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115235 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/European-safari-isa-jokela-gomes-657x875.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris - Whales, The Azores\" width=\"657\" height=\"875\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7<em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/_yixyw60G8U?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Isa Jokela-Gomes<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: May to October<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and many bird species<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Ponta Delgada Hostel, Green Island Hostel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Lynx, Romania, Calimani Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With its epic ridges, gravity-defying fir trees and mountainous peaks, Calimani Park is one of Europe\u2019s last great wildernesses. Stags, wolves and eagles all roam freely, but most elusive of all is the Eurasian lynx, a fur-ocious wild cat that looks like a cross between a leopard and your average tabby. Between February and April, heavy snowfall makes this usually shy predator easier to track, with a good chance of seeing them at dawn or dusk.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115237 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/European-safari-uriel-soberanes.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris -Lynx, Romania\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/eAfDPzehe2I?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Uriel Soberanes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: May to October<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: brown bears, lynx, wolves, and deer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: C\u0103limani Lodge, Mountain River Cabins<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Flamingos, France, Camargue National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Soar above the Camargue National Park in a plane and you could be forgiven for thinking that this stretch of marshland just south of Marseille is bright pink. In fact, it\u2019s home to tens of thousands of flamingos, particularly during the June to September breeding season when fluff-ball chicks hatch and take their first wobbly steps out of the nest.

Wild Horses, Germany, Merfelder Bruch Nature Reserve<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Spot a D\u00fclmen Pony frolicking in the Merfelder Bruch Nature Reserve and you\u2019re pretty much looking back in time in one of the best safari parks in Europe. The last truly wild horses in Europe, their family tree can be traced back more than 700 years. Although they live without human intervention for most of the year, the young stallions are rounded up and auctioned off on the last Saturday of May to prevent the herd becoming bigger than the reservation can handle. Watching the wranglers gather them with their bare hands is quite the show, and the money raised goes towards protecting the rest of the herd.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/European-safari-isabella-juskova.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris - Wild Horses, Germany\" width=\"875\" height=\"580\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/9aNltHjuOc0?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Isabella Juskov\u00e1<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Base yourself at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/H-ostel-Munster\/Muenster\/289957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">H.ostel M\u00fcnster<\/a>, which has an industrial chic vibe and a prime location in the medieval old town.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: May to September<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: wild horses<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Haus Mariengrund, Pension Haus Waldesruh<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5.

In Skinnskatteberg, just two hours from Stockholm, you can spend a night tracking these fierce creatures with an expert guide. Afterwards, listen to local folk stories around the campfire and spend the night under canvas. Visit between June and September for the best chance of spotting these ferocious canines in one of the best safari parks in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115245 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/European-safari-eva-blue.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris - Wolves, Sweden\" width=\"875\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/fi4E2oZnHnw?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Eva Blue<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to leave the wild, check into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Generator-Stockholm\/Stockholm\/267266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Generator Stockholm<\/a>, a well-located hideaway with serious design credentials.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: June to August<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: bears, wolves, and moose<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Skinnskattebergs Vandrarhem, Kolarbyn Ecolodge<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6.

It\u2019s not at all unusual to see mothers and their cubs ambling through the Somiedo Natural Park, particularly during April, May and June when they\u2019re just emerging after the chilly winter and on the hunt for honey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/European-safari-anthony-renovato.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris- Brown bears, Spain\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/6HxC-fZjlI0?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Anthony Renovato<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: June to September<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: brown bears, wolves, and wildcats<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Casa Rural La Solana, Albergue de Torrest\u00edo<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Bison, Poland<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>10,000 years ago, most of north-eastern Europe was densely covered in primal forest. Today, Poland\u2019s Bia\u0142owie\u017ca area is the last significant tract left. It\u2019s home to more than 900 European bison, nicknamed \u2018the kings of the wilderness\u2019 because of their bulk. Sadly, they were hunted to extinction at the start of the 20th century, but have been reintroduced with the help of a careful breeding programme. January to March is the best time to spot Europe\u2019s heaviest land animal, and a walk through this ancient forest in the snow is a magical experience. Just remember to pack your coat as temperatures can dip to -5 degrees&#8230; brrr!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-115248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/luuk-timmermans-44273-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"European safaris- Bison, Poland\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/2rffgYQrZVk?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Luuk Timmermans<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: May to September<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: European bison, wolves, and lynx<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Hostel, Pokoje Go\u015bcinne u Karoliny<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. Egyptian vultures, Portugal, Coa Valley<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The hills of the Coa Valley in north-east Portugal are covered with startling shades of citrus yellow and parsley green, making for some seriously pretty hiking. Even higher than the hilltop caves, which are still scrawled with mysterious paintings from paleolithic times, you\u2019ll find the craggy nests of Egyptian vultures. They\u2019re instantly recognisable by their bright yellow faces and the fact that they\u2019re the smallest vultures in Europe, typically weighing just 2kg. Between November and March they spend the winter in Africa and fly 7,000km on the round trip. Keep your eyes peeled for other airborne icons such as golden, griffin and Bonelli\u2019s eagles too.<\/p>\n<p>The nearest major city is Porto and it\u2019s full of character. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Porto-Spot-Hostel\/Porto\/42599\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Porto Spot Hostel<\/a> is in a historic Estado Novo building with several unique and beautifully designed rooms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best time to visit: May to October<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife: ibex, wild boar, and birds<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nearby hostels: Casa da Cisterna, Casa das T\u00edlias<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you spotted any of these incredible creatures in the wild?
