African Safari - 20 Tips You Need To Know Beforehand

We share 20 tips based on our safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, covering migration timing, seasons, wildlife, transport, accommodation, clothing, food and cash. We also discuss making friends with drivers, allowing extra time for slow travel, exploring beyond the tourist bubble, and taking every opportunity to go on safaris, boat tours and hot-air balloon rides. We encourage appreciating whatever wildlife we encounter and putting the camera down so we can experience the moment directly.
