Africa (FAQs) Need to know
What is the best safari experience in Africa?
There is no single ‘best’ safari in Africa, as it depends on what you want to see on your visit. However, some of the more famous parks, especially for first-time safari visitors, are Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Kenya’s Masai Mara, and the Luangwa Valley in Zambia.
What is the best month to go on an African safari?
The seasons in each country depends on where in Africa it is, and when the rainy, or low season, is in that country. While it is possible to have an incredible unique safari experience during the wet months, that may not be what you’re expecting, so it’s important to research the country properly before booking. Thankfully, our team will be able to tell you exactly when to go depending on what you’d like to see.
How many days do you need for a safari?
We recommend having at least three full days on safari, which gives you an excellent chance of seeing a huge amount of wildlife. However, it’s important to note that safari days are often long and tiring, with early-morning starts and late finishes, as well as being deeply immersive. Bearing this in mind, we’d suggest breaking up a few days on safari with a few days relaxing by the beach
Are safaris safe for young children?
Yes. All good outfitters (and we only work with good outfitters) take safety and security incredibly seriously – and no more so than with children. In the capable hands of an experienced guide from the security of a safari vehicle even young children can have an wildlife encounter equal to any adult’s – and these experiences can be truly formative.
