If you have never been on a safari holiday, then booking one can be daunting. You may not know exactly when or where you want to go so it may be essential to book your holiday with an experienced tour operator.

South Africa is one of, if not the best location for a safari holiday and Kenya is the most popular location. This is due to the ideal climate which helps contribute to the dense vegetation and therefore the wildlife population.

The days of the hunter are fast on the way out and the day of the camera is definitely on the increase. People have started to realise that these animals are here to be enjoyed by all rather than killed for trophies.

When booking your first safari trip, be sure that you find out what type of clothing you will need and all the details about your travel arrangement such as flight luggage restrictions, what you can and can’t bring on a safari and expected times for activities.
