If you are looking to go on a safari holiday then you need to research the areas and time of year you are thinking of going to get a true picture of what type of wildlife you will expect to see. Some people automatically assume that they will see Lions, Elephants, Wildebeests etc no matter when or where they go but this is not true.

If for example you are interested in seeing the gorillas then you may want to consider booking a gorilla trek rather than a jeep safari as this is the only way to get up close to the animals in their natural environment. Gorilla treks are not for the faint hearted but off re some amazing experiences that you could only imagine.

Your tour operator should be able to advise you on what trip would be best suited to what you are looking for but there is no harm in doing a little bit of your own research online first.
