Bring Binoculars for Bird watching!

Bring Binoculars for Bird watching!

Packing for an African trip can be stressful if you have never traveled there before. It’s a good idea to speak with your travel company or guides before you pack and ask them what they recommend to bring. Remember, not all regions of Africa are the same so it is best to ask someone with knowledge and experience.

Be very critical of the items and amount you pack. You will either thank or hate yourself later. You can usually find anything you need in most parts of Africa so be honest with yourself as to whether you truly need what you plan to bring.

Below are several useful items recommended to bring with you to Africa that have proven themselves useful. If you have traveled to Africa before and would like to add your tips on useful things to bring, please leave a comment with your suggestions!

Obama Safari – Silly Gimmick or Actually Interesting?

July 14th, 2009 by admin

So after last year’s American presidential election a new gimmick entered into the world of Africa Travel Deals, the “Obama Safari“! I noticed this for the first time several months ago, but have recently seen this interesting safari title pop on numerous safari websites. What I wonder is if this Obama Safari really have anything at all to do with Obama? A safari is usually centered around watching animals. What does that have to do with the American President? Or did I miss the news about a new animal species called Obama? To me this looks like a silly way to sell more safaris, but maybe I’m wrong, is this actually an interesting alternative to the regular safaris?

Leopards are hard to spot without the help from an experienced Safari Guide

Five Star Comfort in a Safari Tent Camp – It’s True, See the Photos!!

June 23rd, 2009 by admin

Little Naibor Tented Safari Camp, Masai Mara If you ever thought tent camping in Africa was for those rugged, outdoorsy people, you’ll have to think again. Africa offers the most amazing, comfortable and luxurious tent camps in the world. You can actually find five star resorts, were everybody sleeps and eats in tents! So no matter how high your standards are, you should be able to find a tent camp that exceeds all your expectations. And after you’ve done your first safari, seeing the big five from your seat in an open Land Rover, you will realize that tent safaris in Africa have found the perfect harmony between adventure and comfort.
