DESTINATION EAST AFRICA

THE SAFARI
Preparing for the Safari
Safari days are adventure days - your search for wildlife is the most exciting part of your holiday, but please be guided by your experienced driver/guide. At the conclusion of your safari it is customary to show your appreciation by way of tipping.
If you have little appetite for adventure, or the unexpected - including coming upon wild animals at close range, traversing unmade roads, roughing it and helping out when the odds are down, we recommend you limit yourself to a one/two day excursion, not a full-blown safari. It is sometimes possible to be temporarily stranded (e.g. during the rainy season, or by unforeseen breakdown) - although Game Rangers (and their 4WD vehicles) are never far away and reassuringly all drivers form a close community of mutual support.
You will return dusty as you travel the African bush and may wish to equip yourself with Safari Clothing. Obviously a fresh change of clothes will prove most welcome. It is advisable to travel light on Safari. A small sports bag/rucksack is ideal and makes travel convenient and comfortable. Your regular luggage can be left at the City/Beach Base Hotel.
You probably cannot pack too much film. Freshen-up towels and insect repellent are useful. Evenings can sometimes be cold, a pullover, comfortable shoes and a small torch are practical kit - 'forget your hi-heels'.
