Wildlife
In a world of its own, a wildlife safari offers that rare opportunity for you to step into nature and see for yourself the incredible diversity of animal life. There are several notable places you may choose to experience a safari from, spanning from Africa's great savannahs to South America's thick rainforests.
Why Go on a Wildlife Safari?
Suffice to say, several reasons make one choose wildlife safaris. For one, some take the safari to observe how animals behave in their natural surroundings. For others, safari is just a way of detaching themselves from their busy lives and reconnecting with nature. Whatever your reasons may be, one thing is for sure: you will never forget your wildlife safari.
What to Expect on a Wildlife Safari
A typical wildlife safari entails being driven by vehicle to various locations in search of wildlife. The list of animals you are likely to see includes elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and many more. Your guide would share interesting insights about the wildlife you would see and perhaps entertain questions you might have.
Besides animals, you should also enjoy some of nature's beauty. Beautiful sceneries such as mountains, forests, and rivers will find their way to your eyes as well. You might also have the chance to wander in search of nature and learn about the flora and fauna found there.
Planning Your Wildlife Safari
Choosing your destination wisely. There are many different places to go on a wildlife safari. Do some research to find a destination suitable for you.
Choose the right time of year. The best time to go on a wildlife safari is determined by what destination you choose. Be sure to check the weather and climate conditions before you book your trip.
Pay advance for your safari. Wildlife safaris are really popular, hence it is important you book early.
Pack the right clothes and gear. You will need to pack for a variety of weather conditions. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat.
Animals are sacred; behave towards them with respect. The first thing to remember is that you are invading their space-their home. Secondly, ensure you read all the rules and regulations like a good student.
A Typical Day on Safari
An early start is the most common way to begin a day on safari. You would be picked up from your hotel and taken to the safari park. You will be roaming the park, looking for animal sightings through lunch at a picnic spot. The search for the animals continues into the afternoon, with returns to your hotel sometimes during late afternoon or evening.
