This vacation to the wild will bring you in contact with nature and the best adventure of your life. Africa does not only offer a stunning wildlife, but the different cultures and diversity, it offers something extra that no other place can offer. A safari vacation is for everyone irrespective of age, budget or occupation. After planning your budget for vacations, check out the different packages available on the internet and by your travel agency and pick the one that suits you. Africa has a diverse landscape with beaches, mountain ranges and deserts and hence, with the wildlife you will be able to enjoy nature at its best. However, you will have to choose from the many countries in Africa that offer the perfect safari vacation. There is Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia.
You will get a reasonable accommodation no matter where you choose to go. There are the luxury hotels and the humble abodes to choose from. The safari vacation can be enjoyed via walking, canoeing, riding (a horse, an elephant or a train) and diving (sea safari). In South Africa, there is Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg, Addo Elephant Park and the Kalahari that offer the safari experience. For those who can afford it, Sabi Sand and the Timbavati will leave you spell-bound. In Botswana, the safari can be experienced in Chobe, the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve and the Kalahari. Here, you also have the choice of spending your safari vacations in Victoria Falls Town near the Victoria Falls which is a breath-taking sight and offers wildlife at the same time. The beauty of this exquisite water fall is shared by the bordering countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe also.
In Namibia, the Etosha National Park, the Sossusvlei Dunes and spectacular Fish River Canyon are a must go. These parks offer the most diverse wildlife and an unforgettable experience. In Zambia, apart from the safari parks that are available in all African countries, the Zambezi River has to be visited where there are a number of wildlife activities offered to give you the ultimate sense of adventure. Zimbabwe gloats of having one of the best conserved areas for elephants in Africa. It also has the Hwange National Park and Lake Kariba that introduce you to the safari experience. Kenya perhaps has the most diverse terrain of all African countries with snow-capped mountains as well beaches and deserts. Thus, it has the most beautiful places to show wildlife in. Tanzania also has a lot to offer. Not only will you be experiencing a wildlife safari, but also witness the Serengeti migrations and see the highest African mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. Uganda and Rwanda on the other hand offer a specific safari experience: the gorillas at their best.
Tips and comments:
Make sure you take enough mosquito repellents and basic medicines with you. Also, to take back the perfect memories, keep an extra set of batteries. Camping instead of staying at a hotel is cheaper and will give you a more real safari experience.
