Which is the best African Country to go on a safari?
Generally, the safari hotspots are Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa. The wildlife and scenery vary significantly across each country. The large open grasslands of Kenya and Tanzania’s wildlife areas boast huge herds of zebra, wildebeest, and predators including lion and cheetah. Both countries are famous for the wildebeest and zebra migration – the annual procession of over 1.5 million wildebeest – which makes these countries a must-visit for many safari-goers.
Cost of Safari in Africa

Visa restrictions vary from country to country. For your exact visa requirements, please contact us for details.
Vaccinations
The only mandated vaccination is Yellow Fever for anyone visiting a country within the tropics. However, we highly recommend that all travelers are up to date with their vaccinations for other diseases such as hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, and meningitis. Remember that many vaccinations are best given 2 to 3 weeks before departure.
What to wear on safari
When on safari it is always important to wear lighter colours in layers. Evenings and early mornings can sometimes get very chilly, whilst in summer the temperature can rise above 40 degrees in several countries. Long sleeve, light khaki is the ideal safari clothing, for maximum protection from both the sun and bugs.
Internet access while on safari
When staying at a lodge in the bush it’s important to remember that most lodges are in remote areas and therefore Wi-Fi access will be either non-existent or very limited. However, times are changing and Wi-Fi access is becoming more common.
