A safari involves so many components that it can sometimes be perplexing and time-consuming to plan. But we believe the following ten actions will help you prepare a trip to go well and produce the finest holiday for you. Have a look at the below recommendations, then contact one of our professionals here to discuss – it really is the best way to plan a safari just for you.

Plan your trip ahead!

Most of the safari camps we utilize have just 6–12 rooms, making them quite small. If your dates are not changeable, you must book at least six months in advance since the finest camps sell out quickly! You usually have to reserve more than a year in advance for Botswana.

Give us a call to talk things over

Most of us have spent some time in Africa either guiding or running camps, so the Adventure in the Wild Safaris staff is quite knowledgeable. Based on what you have informed them, we will match you with the most pertinent expert who will guide you through the finest solutions open to you. Should you have any inquiries regarding locations or a season to visit, they will be available to respond to any of your questions. Simply call us at this number.

Don’t overdo it on the safari!

You can become “safaried out,” which means you start to feel exhausted and cease enjoying events. Though there are certain exceptions to this (see below), I would generally recommend 3–7 days on safari.

Combine safari with another component!

Africa is not only about safari; you have several other places that complement some time in the bush as well. Among them are Cape Town, the Winelands, Victoria Falls, Zanzibar, and other seaside locations. These locations are also far less expensive, so you can prolong your vacation for less expense.

Plan with a flexible mindset in mind.

Many believe they know what they want to do, yet their ideas might not be feasible in reality. Date of vacation, available activities, camp quality, and often poor advise from other safari firms all contribute to this.

Do your own study

Talking to one of us could help you, but it’s still beneficial to complete your own study to verify all other alternatives. Should you come across a few other options, we can provide sincere feedback and assist in updating the schedule.

You get what you paid for.

Usually, if two groups appear similar but one is more costly, there will be a justification for it. The quality of game viewing, guiding, and service will be the primary factors. I know this is difficult to predict while planning, however one of the Adventure in the Wild Safaris crew will have visited the camps and will be able to assist you.

Shoulder season should not discourage you.

Several of the parks have shoulder seasons (May/June and November) and the name turns some visitors away. Travel during this season excites me much since the parks are far quieter in terms of cars and the campers might be half the cost. Most parks are lovely in May and June; November is outstanding for game as it is centred on the declining water supplies.

Take advantage of offers to save the expense of your trip

Some provide honeymoon deals, while others could provide family discounts; other camps will provide lower rates if you spend time in their sister camps. It helps to significantly lower the price of your journey!

Think about a night close to the airport upon your arrival.

We would recommend a night on arrival close to the airport to allow for recovery if you are coming from the UK or the US and are due to arrive in the evening or afternoon. Safaris are somewhat taxing, therefore it’s a good idea to get fresh before your journey begins! Otherwise, you could find it difficult to recuperate following your travel…
