Safari Tours
Safari tours consist of 3 types; fly-in safaris, mobile safaris and self-drive safaris. A fly-in safari involves being piloted from destination to destination with a small light aircraft. With this type of safari, it is certain that you can take in the magnificent aspects of all of Africa, instead of being confined to one region. Fly-in safaris really offer a diversity of geography and wildlife to enjoy. Flying over an area also gives safari goers a unique perspective of the layout of the land and can lead to spotting huge herds at once. Usually, with a few, short scenic flights, you can see pretty much everything that you dreamed of when you thought of Africa. Ensure that your safari is long enough that each place can be well visited when booking a fly-in safari. Mobile safaris involve moving from camp to camp with a professional driver. A staff usually travels with you and puts up and takes down the camp, prepares food and ensures your safety. These are more traditional safaris and are a much more adventurous alternative. If you love camping and don't mind sleeping in sleeping bags, getting really hands on with nature and staying in remote regions, then a mobile safari is definitely for you. Self drive safaris, on the other hand, offer freedom and solitude. To stay or to go, and who you spend your safari with is always your own choice. Also, self drive safaris offer safari goers to decide exactly where their money goes. Whichever way you decide to safari, the beauty and vast diversity of Africa ensure an awe inspiring trip.
Safari Holidays
Safari holidays offer safari goers the chances to take in the magnificent sights, sounds and animal life that the continent of Africa has to offer. Safari holidays often involve roughing it in real safari camps or lodges that are located smack dab in the middle of national parks. This offers guests the chance to sit back and watch as the wildlife around them frolick and hunt in their natural settings. Sometimes safari goers will get lucky enough to have lodging located near a water hole. A wide variety of animals visit these water holes throughout national parks to take a break from the heat of the day. If your lodging isn’t quite cutting it, you can always take a mobile safari tour. Most national parks offer guests the chance to see the Big Five, lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and hippo, however, catching one of these animals hunting or doing something besides laying around on film is sure to be a once in a trip chance. Safari goers can also view primates such as gorilla and chimpanzee in certain regions. If there is something you are particularly dying to see, make sure and check if those animals are prevalent in the region you will be staying at. However, that precautionary step is unnecessary when you take a fly-in safari and travel from region to region in a small aircraft, seeing a variety of geographies and wildlife. Africa is home to diverse geographical wonders such as Victoria Falls and the Ngorongoro crater. There are also beautiful beaches in Zanzibar that make for a great resting spot after a rough stay in the wilderness. No matter what your preference, a safari holiday is sure to be the trip of a lifetime.
