Africa is ENORMOUS, thin it out by taking 30 seconds to answer the following questions and receive a clear idea of what you want to get out of YOUR “once in a lifetime” African safari.
1) How much time do you have for safari?
This is the MOST IMPORTANT question and will automatically decide your final choice destination.
If you only have a Short Amount of Time you will want to choose a destination with:
- Many Attractions and Activities
- Good Transportation Links
It is VERY IMPORTANT to remember distances between destinations can be very, very long!
If you have More Amount of Time allowing for a longer trip, opportunity allows your safari to include:
- Combination of Destinations
- Enjoy the Sights at a Much Slower Pace
Remember the length of your safari has a direct impact on your mode of transport.
Africa is Immense and What it Offers is Infinite.

2) When do you want to go on safari?
Traveling Africa is all about timing. The answer to this question will affect what you see, what you do, and even if you can get to where you want to go!
You should carefully plan your safari around “the perfect season.” And remember the season in southern Africa is not going to be the same as the season at your home.
- Some National and Game Parks Remain Closed during the Rainy Season
- Wildlife Populations Move throughout the Seasons, One Season a Reserve may be Bursting with Game and Another Season Having No Game What-so-Ever and Completely Quiet
Jermibia asks “What’s More Important to You? The Destination or the Wildlife?”
- Ask Open Ended Questions. For Example, “If I Safari in the month of February, where is the best chances to see the most varieties wildlife?”
- Be Absolutely Sure You are Familiar with Seasonal Weather Patterns
3) Who are you going on safari with?
Who you safari with is just as, if not more important, than where you safari. Are you traveling alone, with a partner, friends, family? What comfort level are you looking for during your safari?
- Camping
- Mid-Range Hotel
- Luxurious Game Lodge
Don’t be fooled! Tented camping may sound like you’re roughin’ it; however, it can be quite the opposite. There are many options for luxurious camping, giving you both the rustic adventure feel of an African safari, yet with the comforts of home. Don’t rule out camping until knowing the facts!
Think About Your Comfort & Fitness Level
Are you energetic, wanting to scramble up the highest sand dunes for the perfect picture? Or are you content with getting your experience from the base of the dunes? Are you wild enough to tumble down those same dunes to get a quick adrenaline rush? Will you scream “I LOVE AFRICA!” after that defining moment? Ok, Ok you get the point, group dynamics will affect the way you travel.
4) Do you want a private or organized safari?
The BIG difference between a private and organized safari is flexibility.

5) How much are you willing to spend to safari?

There is no question budget travelers have a more culturally sound experience when compared to travelers who can afford a Fly-in safari. It can also safely be said; both experiences are original and depend entirely on WHAT YOU WANT.
