African Safari Travel Tips
After a thrilling experience with wildlife on an African safari, or even as a relaxing holiday on its own, Indian Ocean islands offer some of the world's best beaches.
Safaris can be combined with an Indian Ocean beach holiday on Mozambique's archipelagos, the islands of Zanzibar, or in The Seychelles.
Eco-friendly safaris are designed to minimise the environmental impact of tourism while promoting responsible wildlife viewing.
These safaris prioritise the use of sustainable travel practices, from staying at eco-lodges to reducing carbon footprints during wildlife conservation safaris.
Choose your accommodation carefully, and remember that a safari is a bucket list item that you want to make sure you get right.
Temperatures in winter are generally mild but can become considerably cooler in the evening, so pack multiple layers of clothing to ensure you stay comfortable on afternoon game drives and walks.
It goes without saying that the standard safari gear must include a broad brim hat, sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
In areas where malaria is prevalent, summer is generally a more risky time to travel. So, before you go on safari, consult your doctor for the necessary anti-malaria medication.
Almost 2,500 species of 111 families have been seen in the mainland of Africa, its associated islands and around its coasts. Of these, perhaps 1,800 species and a remarkable 20 bird families are found only in this geographic area.
African Bird Club:
UK registered charity managed by a Council of trustees. The Club was formed in 1994, by
people with a common interest in African ornithology.
Safaris in Africa
The ideal time for a safari is generally during the dry season, which runs from January to February and June to October.
During these months, animals are more likely to be found in open areas as they search for water, making them easier to spot.
