Planning your safari holiday in Africa is hugely exciting. There are so many bucket-list experiences to choose from; natural wonders to see; gorgeous tented camps and lodges to stay at; and alluring landscapes to soak in from mountains to beaches, rainforests to deserts.
- Know When You Want to Go
In Africa, timing is everything. Most of the continent’s best safari experiences depend entirely on naturally occurring factors, like seasonal rainfall. This means that having preferred travel dates will make a big difference to your itinerary. - Know Where You Want to Go
Start with having a specific goal for your safari. Maybe you’ve dreamt of seeing gorillas since you were a child, or witnessing Victoria Falls in full flood, or seeing all the Big 5 in the wild. What animals or experiences are at the heart of your dream safari? The answer will more than likely help determine your ideal destination. - Have a Budget Estimate
An African safari is not an inexpensive holiday. Even though there is a wide range of available itineraries and travel styles, there are a lot of logistics involved in going on safari in Africa. It’s also worth keeping in mind that safari lodges must deliver excellent service, food and accommodation in very remote destinations and that costs much more than delivering the same standard of comfort in a big city. - Know Your Travel Style
Your travel style is a matter of personal preference and influenced by the people you intend to travel with, your budget, and the time you have available for your vacation. If your budget is limited, you’ll want the most affordable options. If you have limited time, you’ll want the most efficient travel logistics. - Choose the right agency to travel with
When choosing a travel agent who can add true value to your African safari, look for the following criteria: - Personal travel experience in the specific countries you want to visit.
- Independent, unbiased advice from your agency in regards to your demands
- Financial protection the necessary supplier insurance to protect your travel investment.
- Full travel booking service – it’s in your best interest to work with a full-service partner, an agent that takes care of every detail from your flights, activities, accommodation, transfers… everything.
- 24/7 on-safari support – an important advantage of booking through a credible agent who is based in Africa.
- Recent reviews published on independent sites. It is necessary to cross check the party you want to work with and make a decision accordingly.
