What people love about African Safaris
- Masai Mara & Gorilla Adventure
The tour guides and drivers were very accommodating and were obviously making sure we had the best experience they could provide. There was a problem getting on the plane to Uganda. I did not have a visa but G Adventures assured me I could get one at the airport. I had to spend an extra day in Nairobi obtaining a visa and then rent a taxi go catch up with my group. They need to insure that all paperwork is done in advance and stress this in their literature. Also, there was no representative from G Adventures at the airport when we checked into our flight. This would have helped.
- Gorillas & Masai Mara - Camping Reverse
Fantastic countries; Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya, Incredible vehicle driver and cook, amazing travel partners, but the best was the animals; Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Leopards and so many more. I loved Uganda so much I need to go back, we had two leopard sightings, unbelievable. The campsite were good but the food was fantastic, I might have gained weight in this trip. I highly recommend this trip.
- Cape, Safari and Falls (Air Price Cape Town To Johannesburg)
The accommodation on the last night was unsettling as the owner spoke of murdering black people in the past but the rest of the trip was fantastic
What our customers ask about African Safari Tours
What are the best times of year to see wildlife on an African safari?
The prime wildlife viewing seasons differ across Africa's regions. East African destinations like Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti draw visitors from July to October during the Great Migration. The dry winter months from May to October bring excellent viewing in Southern Africa's Kruger and Chobe parks as animals congregate near water sources. A recent visitor to Chobe shared: "We saw so many animals at a close distance - hippos elephants Cape buffalo giraffes zebras crocodile wild dogs. We even watched a pride of lions for over an hour!"
What accommodation options are available on African safaris?
Safari lodging spans from high-end lodges to authentic tented camps. The Mdluli Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park provides luxury tents with private bathrooms air conditioning and infinity pools with bush views. For a more traditional experience mobile tented camps in the Okavango Delta put guests closer to nature. The Nkuringo Bwindi Lodge in Uganda features rooms that look out over the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
What's included in typical safari tour packages?
Standard safari packages cover lodging professional guides 4x4 game drives park fees and most meals. Mukisa Safaris in Uganda includes full board accommodation English-speaking guides all game drives boat rides and gorilla permits. Extra activities like hot air balloon rides over the Masai Mara ($500) or Victoria Falls helicopter tours ($150) cost additional fees. While local transport is included international flights usually are not.
Are African safaris suitable for families with children?
Many safari operators welcome families though age limits exist for certain activities. Gorilla tracking in Uganda requires participants to be 15 or older. Family-friendly destinations include Kruger and Chobe with their child-oriented lodges and malaria-free areas. Timeline Travel DMC Safari accepts children aged 6 and up with reduced rates for those under 12 sharing rooms with parents.
What medical precautions should I take for an African safari?
Visit your doctor 6-8 weeks before departure to discuss required vaccinations and malaria prevention. While lodges like The Victoria Falls Hotel and Chobe Safari Lodge maintain first aid facilities travelers should pack personal medications and basic medical supplies. Protection from sun and proper hydration are essential. One experienced traveler advises: "Bring good insect repellent and sunscreen and be prepared for early mornings and long days which can be physically demanding."
