There is nothing more fascinating than seeing animals in their natural habitat. In the last hundred years, animal watching has replaced hunting as the motive behind most people's interest in animals in the wild. That is not to say that hunting, as a phenomena, no longer exists, only that more people now travel the world with a view to seeing animals in the wild for the sake of it rather than for an ulterior motive. There maybe a criticism of the 'safari' industry, and, indirectly, the people who go to the see the animals on account of the pressure that these people bring to bear on animal habitats. However, with local encroachment of man upon the habitats of most animals, the easiest way to secure their survival is for local economies to be able to afford to conserve.
Tourism is the main means by which countries can afford to do so.
The answer is 'no'. There are enormous opportunities to see animals just like they have always been. There are numerous companies offering excellent guided trips to experience animals in their natural habitat. Those without the will or desire to organize their own expeditions can chose from one of these companies. Many provide delightful accommodation in remote areas - sometimes exquisite thatched properties or tented camps.
