Tailored holidays in a wide variety of safari locations can now ensure the unforgettable experience of seeing lions, elephants, zebra, giraffes and rhinos in their natural habitat, or wildebeest migrating across the plains of the Serengeti, is open to everyone. Those who have completed safari holidays are often amazed at the profusion of wildlife to be seen on these magical trips, and the great knowledge about plant and animal life passed on by their expert guides. For older children safari holidays are truly adventurous, and certainly educational. Safari holidays in Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, South Africa, India, and many other destinations won’t fail to impress any generation of traveller.
Safari holidays - pure wilderness at you feet
Kenya is perhaps best known for classic jeep safari holidays. This spectacular county in East Africa features mountainous rain forests, large game reserves such as Tsavo National Park, and the vast savannah of the Masai Mara. Safari holidays here, often setting off from Nairobi, take in lion, cheetah, elephant, and an abundance of bird life. You will also meet the local tribes of Masai, inhabitants of the border regions of Kenya and Tanzania, and see first hand their unique culture. It is also common for Kenyan and Tanzanian safari holidays to include time at the beach, enjoying excellent weather and all the pleasures of the Indian Ocean. Other great locations in Africa for safari holidays include Botswana, with its outstanding game viewing across the arid landscapes of the Kalahari, and Uganda with its dense rainforest, waterfalls, volcanoes and rare mountain gorillas. Safari trips to India focus on the Himalayan region, with its obvious attractions of Everest and for wildlife, the reclusive Royal Bengal tiger.
Safari holidays - perfect for family trips and extra special occasions
Safari holidays undoubtedly make fantastic honeymoons, and would be ideal to mark any special family occasion. Deciding how much time you want to spend searching for big game will be key to planning any safari holiday. It’s possible to embark on a ‘snapshot’ jeep trip for one or two days, perhaps spending the rest of your time on the beach, or commit to a full week, or two week expedition. Safari holidays can involve camping out for the more adventurous, or can be geared to returning to luxury or budget accommodation if required.
