FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - AFRICA
| A) Choosing your Destination | ||
| What is the optimum length of a holiday in Africa? |
We recommend 12-14 days – you can then include a hub (e.g. Cape Town and/or Victoria Falls) as well as your safari experience. |
|
| How long should I do the actual safari for? |
Between 7 and 9 days. We tailor each itinerary to provide an optimum variety of different biomes allowing for different activities at each camp. And remember, no two game drives are ever the same! |
|
| What are the best places to go for a first time safari? |
To be blown away on your very first safari, you can’t go wrong with Botswana. Saying this, the age restrictions are tighter in these camps, so many travelling with younger children will go to the Eastern Africa camps on their first visit and return to Botswana a couple of years later. |
|
| How does a safari in east Africa differ from a safari in southern Africa? |
Vehicles in Southern Africa are usually open top, open sided Land Rovers. |
|
| What is the best beach destination to add onto a safari? |
The Seychelles and Zanzibar offer great relaxing options. There are other smaller islands as well that we can recommend once we know what your tastes are. |
|
| Where is the best diving? |
The outlying islands of Zanzibar offer sensational diving and the opportunity to swim with whale sharks in season. |
