How to Choose a Safari

There are lots of things which need to be taken into consideration when booking a safari, please research all travel operators before booking a holiday, you will need to find a company and trip which best suits your needs and interests. There are lots of travel companies in this market, each have slight differences and no two safari holidays are the same. Some safari holidays are tailored to specific needs, for example there are holidays for bird watchers, nature and conservation safaris and also wildlife safaris just to name a few.

There are specific family friendly safaris whilst other companies cater for travellers age between 18-35 year old's. Each destination offers a difference experience and so choosing a country is very important, if you specifically want to see wildlife like lions you will need to make sure you join a trip to a country where these animals are based. Some safari holidays also use different types of accommodation, sometimes this is in the form of camping, a traditional lodge or private reserve. If you are after a better level of comfort it might be better to spend a bit more and get a more comfortable journey.

Most travel operators offer small group safaris to the heart of the animal kingdom where you can observe animals in a relaxed environment.
