1.
First and foremost, conduct thorough research (through websites or personal recommendations) to determine your desired destination. Equally important is establishing your overall budget, encompassing the entire cost including international airfare.
2.
Keep in mind that a hefty price tag doesn’t guarantee the best safari experience. Avoid unnecessary luxury expenditures in your chosen camps or lodges that might not significantly enhance your overall safari adventure.
Refer to the Safari Rules Chapter for guidance.
3.
When booking with a company, clearly communicate your expectations and preferences. Use illustrative examples where necessary to convey your desires effectively. Follow the advice provided by the company.
4.
Whenever possible, pre-pay for various expenses and activities before your departure. This approach eliminates the need to carry excessive cash during your travels.
5.
It’s crucial that your safari payment is covered by your travel insurance. Always ensure that both aspects are taken care of together.
