Safaris , an incredible experience
Going on safari is an incredible experience, one that you cannot get enough of. It is unlike any other holiday you may have been on and it is therefore helpful to know what to expect when going on your first safari.
You must expect to be woken up before sunrise, while it is still dark. Game viewing is best around dawn and dusk because the nocturnal animals are out at that time. Sleeping soon after dinner is a good strategy to wake up early.
You will be in an open vehicle with wild animals in close proximity. Sometimes they walk so near to your vehicle that you can touch them !! It’s not wised to try this for no reason. You should remain calm and quiet and of course you are not permitted to leave the vehicle without your ranger’s permission.
Some days you may see the Big 5 , a lot of animals and birds, and other days barely anything because there are no guarantees in the wild. (The Big 5 refers to five of the most iconic animals in Africa. They are the African lion, the African elephant, the rhino (black rhino and white rhino), the Cape buffalo and the African leopard.)
When you return in the evenings , enjoy your dinner and admire the stars above you.
