Every year, the popularity of safaris increases. For those who want excitement and thrills from a trip away, and who want lots of great stories to tell, a safari really is ideal. Safari’s provide an opportunity to experience nature first hand, in a way that just is not possible on any other kind of trip. What follows is a short guide to what you need to take into account having decided that you would like to spend your next vacation on safari…
Safari Tour Operators : To find yourself a reputable safari tour operation you need to check out their reputation by Googling their name and looking for reviews and testimonials. Try to find one that has offices in both your home country and in Africa. Have a budget in mind, as safari pricing varies greatly.
Weather / Climate : It is essential to read up on what to expect weather wise before packing your bag. If you pack the wrong type of clothes then you will regret it for the whole of your trip. Even within one country there can be significant differences in climate between different regions, so you really need to research this thoroughly. It is a common mistake to just pack shorts, t-shirts and sandals.
Accommodation : Luxury accommodation is generally available if you want it, but authentic safari ‘back to basics’ accommodation is more common. Generally, the more prepared you are to leave home comforts behind, the more rewarding your safari experience will be. A common approach is to spend the first and last couple of nights in a plush hotel, and then to sleep under the stars for the rest of the vacation.
Immunizations : Most insurance companies do not pay for travel immunizations but they will refer you to travel clinics. You can also ask them whether the water will be safe to drink, if mosquitoes will be a problem, etc. Ask at the clinic is they have any travel first kits, as it is prudent to have one on hand in case of an emergency.
