The information about travel,safari,travel tips presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about travel,safari,travel tips or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.
Before stepping on that plane for a marvelous safari adventure, plan like there’s no tomorrow. You will thank your self for being precautious when faced with untoward incidents. Here are the important things you should consider when going on a safari travel:
1. Remember that it is one challenging endeavor.
Planning a safari can be one of the most exciting feats one can ever manage to make happen. It is not one of the generic travels, usual jetsetters indulge in. Though you are provided with a tour brochure and a tourist guide, it still is better to research on your own regarding the various itineraries.
2. Best spots for safari should be spotted. The most suggested parts of Africa to enjoy safari include East and Central Africa, Southern Africa and Indian Ocean Islands.
3. Prepare for the climate. It is a must to know the seasonal trends and how they will affect your travel. But also remember that the weather is fickle-minded so you can never really accurately predict the outcome of your travel if you will base it one the weather alone. If you are going to visit East and Central Africa, long rains start early in April to early June. Short rains abound during late November to December. Southern Africa has its rainy season from late November through mid-April for the safari areas. However, during that time, it will be summer in Southern Cape. When one prefers Indian and Ocean Islands he or she can expect the seasonal trend to be more like of that of Southern Africa. In these islands, summer rains last from November through April. Cyclones can also be experienced during those seasons. From May to October, the dry season occurs.
4. Choose your activities. Among others, safari traveling offers these fun-filled activities: a. gorilla trekking b. sailing c. birdwatching d. participatory camping e. self driving
5. Know what you can afford. When choosing a trip, budget constraints should never be overlooked. Decide on a price range that you can work on. To make your budgeting more effective consider the level of luxury of your safari travel, length of your trip, activities, accommodations preferences, meals and season. 6. Determine your travel style. Do you prefer your safari to be more luxurious, moderate or rustic? Will you let kids tag along? Are you traveling with a group or will you be one bold, independent traveler? Will you travel by air or road? What about your guide and your vehicle? Answering those questions will more or less improve your overview of your dream safari travel. Have fun!
This article’s coverage of the information is as complete as it can be today. But you should always leave open the possibility that future research could uncover new facts.

hi there,
March 6th, 2009 at 5:44 amGood to hear that you want to come for a one week safari to Kenya. I am a tour guide / consultant in Nairobi Kenya specialising last minute and budget safaris. I can assist you with your safari. Your UK driving licence can be used locally here. The cost for self-drive car for one week rental will cost you about US$ 880.(fuel not included). For the safari i will need you to be more specific like your main areas of interest and the type of accommodation you require but i can give you a rough estimate of US$ 3000 (car included). This is a really rough estimate. Depending on what you want we can work out the specifics feel free to consult me further. Don't worry about the floods there are no floods currently. The Safari circuit is quit safe. For accommodations you need to get prior bookings i can do this for you once we confirm the dates. Get me at xkcox@yahoo.com for further consultations. Waiting to hear from you soon.

Kenya, accomodation, safari, travelling, what should I expect to pay for a 4 week trip there?
I would like to do 1 weeks safari at least and I will be there for about 4 weeks seing the country. I am a budget traveller on my way home to the UK from Asia wanting to fit Kenya in. Any tips, advice welcome, eg renting cars (I have a full UK licence so is this possible? Really like the idea of renting a car for some of the time here depending on costs) How much would a weeks standard lodge safari cost? lots of info on the net but typically no prices! anyone been recently?
I have done much of the south of Africa many years ago but no idea where to start here! should I book accom or are there hostels etc?
In fact is it even possible to go given the flooding I recently heard about (havernt had TV, radio or papers for a while so updates all good!)
thanks all!
