African Safari

Choose Your Safari (3-6 months before)

Research locations—Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, or Namibia—based on what you want to see. Decide if you want to catch the Great Migration or explore remote reserves. Book your safari early to secure your spot.

Physical and Mental Preparation (1 month before)

Prepare for long days on bumpy roads and being outdoors in varied weather. Get used to spending extended periods outdoors and mentally prepare for the unpredictability of the wild.

Pack Smartly (1-2 weeks before)

Pack light, neutral-colored clothing, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, a camera, and binoculars. Make sure to bring layers for cool mornings and evenings. Leave distractions at home—you’ll want to fully immerse yourself.

Arrive and Acclimatize

Once you arrive in Africa, take time to adjust to the slower pace. Absorb the surroundings and let yourself disconnect from the rush of everyday life.

Safari Days

Each day will involve early mornings and late afternoons spent tracking animals like elephants, lions, and giraffes. Take time to observe the animals’ behavior, and listen closely to your guide’s insights on the local ecosystem.

Reflect and Engage

Use your downtime at camp to reflect on what you’ve experienced. Talk to the guides and locals about conservation efforts and the balance between wildlife and human communities. This is a time to learn, appreciate, and give back.
