1 ~~~ Tips for Planning an African Safari ~ SmarterTravel ~~~
An African safari is a true adventure—imagine thousands of zebras migrating across emerald grasslands,
flocks of florescent flamingos creating a field of color across a shining lake, and lions feasting on a hard-earned kill.
With 54 different countries more than 11 million square miles between them, Africa is a very large and very diverse place.
The types of safaris are endless. And while there’s no right way to go on safari (it all comes down to personal preferences),
there is a lot to consider when it comes to picking out your perfect experience.
Here’s how to make the right choice.
Many travelers trek to Africa in search of the “Big Five”: buffalo, lions, leopards, elephants, and rhinoceroses.
The chance to get close to these animals in their natural habitats is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but your trip to Africa is anything but a trip to the zoo.
Safaris can be physically taxing and strenuous, and you may not see all the animals you expected.
Since most safari destinations are in developing sub-Saharan nations, travelers must take certain safety and health precautions.
If you’re planning a safari (or just dreaming about it), be as prepared as possible.
Get some good guidebooks, talk to friends who’ve been to Africa and research, research, research.
We’ve outlined some important African safari tips, from choosing a destination to getting vaccinated, to help you start planning a successful adventure.....
