Where to land on a Cretaceous-like planet

Where could humans land on an Earth-like planet with life resembling the Cretaceous Period?

The poles are suggested as cooler landing areas where encounters with large animals might be easier to avoid.

In this hypothetical world, the poles are the preferred landing area because they would probably be cooler. Landing elsewhere is treated as possible if the visitors can protect themselves from the animals. The recommendation depends on avoiding the local wildlife, without a detailed survey of landing conditions.
