What should you bring on a safari?
– It is not advisable to carry suitcases or backpacks that are too large on wheels. A medium-sized backpack will suffice. Also bring a small backpack for personal items.
– Inside the medium-sized backpack, it has a small sleeping bag, in case one day you decide to go camping and see animals that you might not be able to see during the day.
– For luggage, do not hesitate to bring warm clothes for both day and night, as well as accessories such as a hat, sunglasses and even a small scarf to withstand dust.
– Other important accessories will be: camera (with batteries and memory), flashlight, binoculars, a travel guide… etc.
Tips for going on Safari
– Drive the vehicles yourself as they will offer you a driver and he will only drive on main roads and you may not be able to enjoy 100%.
– Don’t be fooled by the majority of “tourist assistants” who often wait for travelers to offer their services. Hire them only if you are sure that you want to have an extensive visit to the area regardless of the money, as these services tend to be somewhat expensive.
– Arriving in Africa and not having a place already planned to live can be a problem if you don’t know the area. Therefore, it is advisable to travel with an expert agency on these tours who will plan both return flights and accommodation at the safari location.
We recommend the travel agency Felices Vacaciones that gives you Safari offers in Africa, where you will find a multitude of trips to Tanzania and safaris to Africa among many others where you will spend an incredible stay at a really cheap price.
