PLANNING A SAFARI

  Into the wilderness

With a seductive setting Africa reveals lions roaring by night, the call of a jackal at dawn, treks into the wilderness and stays in luxury lodges and romantically set mobile camps. Wide-open plains and abundant game, 4×4 vehicles traversing untouched landscapes, the thrill of the unknown, and the opportunity to reconnect with nature, be humbled by the big skies, and offered insight into the wild.

The African Safari remains one of the greatest gifts you can award yourself, yet for most the planning stage can be an intimidating and rather overwhelming task with many questions raised. Where and when is the best time to go on safari? Do I need to take Malaria medication? What wildlife can I expect in the area? Which destination will best suit me? And what do I pack for this experience of a lifetime?  This is where Rudi can help.
