What you should consider before booking an African Safari
Guest Post
It tops many a bucket list: ‘go on an African safari’. And unlike sleeping with Angelina Jolie or seeing out your dotage in a French chateau, with a bit of careful planning, the African Safari is an achievable dream.
For many of us who dream of African adventures, however, there’s a big question mark over where and what to do. Companies such as Wild Africa can help you work out what you need to consider before booking your safari. To begin with, ask yourself: What’s within my capabilities, budget and comfort zone? How many sights do I want to see? What’s the primary objective of my trip? The term ‘African Safari’ is a bit nebulous, as an African safari can encompass such a huge breadth of destinations and experiences.
Whether you fancy holidays that incorporate a bit rough with the smooth, prefer wanton luxury and pampering, or require family friendly environs, there’s a safari for you. One thing you can be assured of, whatever choice you make, is a startling abundance of memorable landscapes, wildlife, and culture.
For many, the primary drawcard of the African safari is stunning wildlife. If that’s your priority, a visit to Chobe National Park is a must do. Home to some of Botswana’s most incredible and varied wildlife, it’s a wondrous animal kingdom where elephants, buffalo, lions, wild dogs, puku, red lechwe, sable, giraffes and roan antelopes dominate the landscape. For landscape nuts, the red dunes of Sossusvlei are an essential destination. The dunes form part of the worlds oldest and driest ecosystems. They change colour and shape constantly due to the changing light and winds.
I’ve described but a sliver of what’s out there. For more information about booking an African Safari, visit www.wildafrica.com.au. 🙂 – Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog.
