11 CRUCIAL AFRICAN SAFARI TIPS FOR FIRST TIMERS

TIP YOUR GUIDE! As a tour guide myself - thank you for saying this!

Dear People,
Very Very Refreshing.
This is Living.

How much was it

should we opt for USD 300 per day safari accommodation all included or go for budget like USD100 -120 YOUR suggestion

To me the best advice I can give: If you are there for a fair time I go for a month at a time to camp it to simply BE THERE. You don't have to take a picture of Everything Everyday. Take time to listen and smell and see things around you. Look at the little things as well as the big things. Lions are cool, but wait until you see a line of Hissing Ants or a chameleon at dusk. Do things. Eat around the fire or just sit there as the sun goes down (there are No sunsets like an African sunset, trust me) Listen to the rain if there is any and do not be afraid to walk a bit in the weather. You may never get another change to.

Thanks so much!!!

Thanks for these tips!

Hi! Is it better to book a lodge that includes game drives or book a safari with a tour company that includes everything? Confused about that.

Great tips! Thanks!!

Man, my binoculars and camera gear would take up over 1/3rd of my allowed weight limit. Not sure how to pack around that well. Curious what size/type of duffel bags you used?

Question.. Do you just tip your Guide at the end of the safari or every day?

Thanks for the info on tipping. It’s the little things that make the trip memorable.

Can you share the information detail where did you stay, information about those people and a guide. ? I am planning to go next year and I research a lot about safaris, stays, etc

This video is brilliant! What lodge is this and where is it? Thanks ! X
