African Safari

An African Safari is a great way for nature and animal lovers to immerse themselves within the true wilderness of Africa. Safaris usually revolve around the countries of Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, Nairobi and Zambia. Each involves it's own unique experience and should be visited separately. Botswana is home to the Chobe National Park which has no barriers and allows large numbers of large game to move about freely. The park is also home to the largest elephant population on the planet. The Moremi Game Reserve offers visitors the chance to spot wild dog, cheetah, leopard, lion, buffalo, and lechwe among many. Tuli Block is also a popular destination in Botswana because of its beautiful geographical features. Botswana has a rainy season between December and March but storms often occur in short bursts of thundershowers which then disperse to reveal spectacular sunlight. South Africa is another amazing safari destination. The country offers visitors a good combination of rural and cosmopolitan cities, great weather for most of the year and a diverse cultural experience. The valleys of Lowveld, located in the South Africa, contain rocky rivers, waterfalls, botanical gardens and according to many, the real Africa. Kenya offers a variety of contrasting geographies which makes for an extraordinary exhibit of wildlife. This multiplicity makes Kenya the most popular African safari destination. Legends such as Ernest Hemingway, Karen Blixen and Beryl Markham have enjoyed a Kenyan safari. Kenya is also one of the most popular destinations for bird watchers from around the world because of its over 400 species of birds. The rainy season includes 'long rains' from April to June and 'short rains' from October to December. A Mozambique safari can involve one or more of 6 regions, each with it's own charm and adventure. Other African safari destinations involve Masai Mara, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. With 2500 km of beachfront on the mainland and numerous islands just off the coast, Mozambique is a great place for those seeking an aquatic end to their African safari. An African safari is the best way for those who seek adventure to explore the utter beauty, excitement and life of planet Earth.

Luxury African Safaris

A luxury safari emphasizes comfort, hospitality, gourmet food, elegant accommodations and great game safari guides. Africa can be a tough place to vacation for those not accustomed or ready for roughing it in the wild. Although there is no bad lodge to stay in Africa, luxury safari tours often ensure that their lodges are right amidst all the animal action. There is also probably going to be more freedom and privacy in luxury lodging. Luxury safaris offer guests lodging complete with modern hotel accommodations as well as food that is prepared to order, instead of vacuum sealed and defrosted. Luxury safari tours will often drive you around in big, fancy Rv's complete with refrigerators to keep drinks cool in the heat of the day. However, just because you are on a luxury safari does not mean that these vehicles cannot break down. Luxury safaris also offer interesting offers like boat safaris and include other exotic accommodations. Luxury safari touring companies will also plan a luxury safari for you based on what activities and preferences you specify. Some safaris end with the beautiful white beaches of places like Zanzibar. These can be especially fun for couples on honeymoon. Deciding what is most important to you on safari can help you decide whether or not to take a luxury safari. Although a luxury safari does not ensure that real "bush" feeling that African safaris are known for, they do provide a way for everyone to enjoy the majestic country.
