[quote=Anonymous]Most safaris really aren’t that adventuresome. Yes, you’re in the bush, yes, it’s glorious, yes, it’s fabulous. But it’s very limited too. You spend the typical day on two game drives and are rarely allowed to walk around on your own. The camps are heavily monitored for the wildlife so the danger factor is quite small as long as you follow instructions to the letter and don’t wander off or leave your tent in the middle of the night.

Lots of great safari operators who’d be more than happy to help you and who can answer your million and one queries. Norman Carr and a Robin Pope in Zambia are fantastic, Gamewatchers in Kenya is also fabulous. You will get luxury serviced camps.

These three operators can arrange the whole safari for you as you’ll stay in their camps and it’s literally like booking a resort hotel. Easy.

Otherwise it’s also worthwhile to talk to safari brokers, who are people who can organize the safari for you and often have good deals with premium and midrange camps in various parks. They can also easily add on things to the trip such as a weekend in Victoria Falls or Zanzibar.

My advice is to go to safaritalk.net and browse their many threads about booking safaris and where to go and what to see. You’ll get a sense of what works for you. For example, when I go on safari I am all about the bush and happily spend two weeks on game drives deep into the parks. But other people find one week just enough and are happier splitting that time with other activities, so they’d prefer a week in Kruger and a week in Capetown, for example.
