For many people going on safari is an exciting prospect but it can also make you feel a bit apprehensive as you try to decide how to spend your time and decide which are the best places to visit.  Another important aspect of preparing for your safari holiday is to select the items you need to pack and make sure that you have the required kit to keep you and your party safe on your trip such as insect repellent and high factor sun cream. The clothes that you pack should above all be comfortable and cool. High quality walking shoes are a must and long trousers and warm clothing will be needed for the evenings.

A good idea when trying to decide on the best places to visit is to think about what your party wants to get out of your safari for instance if you are an enthusiastic photographer, you should probably visit the Masai Mara in Kenya as you will be able to see magnificent wildlife and be blown away by the amazing scenery. If the history and culture of the area is of interest to you it is possible to visit places with ancient rock paintings and get a taste of tribal life with all its customs and traditions.
