Your First Safari: What to Know

A first safari is one of travel's great thresholds.

Choosing the season

Dry seasons generally make wildlife easier to find, as animals gather near water. Shoulder months can mean fewer vehicles.

Conservancies and parks

Private conservancies limit vehicle numbers and often allow walking safaris and night drives.

Packing light

Light aircraft have strict luggage limits. Soft bags, neutral colours and layers for cool mornings serve you well.
