Featured African safari tour: Kalahari and Okavango Delta

featured-african-safari-tour-kalahari-and-okavango-delta

Desert and delta are the features of this amazing African safari tour in Botswana. Without the Kalahari there would not be the Okavango Delta and without the Okavango the Kalahari would just be an arid place. Experience the magic of both and embark on a memorable safari with outstanding wildlife sightings and fantastic landscapes.

How to compare prices of African safari tours

how-to-compare-prices-of-african-safari-tours

It is very tempting to go for the cheapest offer when buying a car, a TV, a computer or a holiday. And it is all right for the car, the TV and the computer. If it is the same product, it is easy to compare prices. But for a holiday it is different. What is the location of the hotel, how far is it to the beach, what is included and what are the facilities of the hotel? It gets even more complicated when it is a round trip to really compare apples with apples when it comes to the price.
And that is not different for
African safaris. It is crucial to know what to compare. How many people will be on the game drive vehicle, are beverages included, are bush walks included, where is the lodge and how are the Big Five sightings? The luxury of a safari is determined by the location, the privacy during game drives and the quality of the guides. Ask before opting too quickly for the cheapest offer. Rather shorten your trip, but have good quality.

Happy safari going!

Why booking your African safari online, or not?

why-booking-your-african-safari-online

What did we do in a café, on a train or while waiting in a queue 10 years ago when we didn’t have smart phones and Pads? Now we quickly check emails and browse the Internet. We want information quickly and the moment a question comes to our mind and the Internet has the answers. The same happens with travel. Browsing for a holiday online and booking flights has become completely normal. More complex tours are a bit different, but at least one can gather information and pre-select tours and suppliers. This all works also for African safari tours.

Browse online to find information about safari destinations, the best time to travel and tour operators who can deliver what you are looking for. For safaris it will always be a combination of online search and pre-selection and the direct contact with your safari operator. These kind of holidays are complex and professional advice is needed, but you can get pretty close to your goal online. Only for the last steps to finalize your booking personal contact is recommended. Booking a safari is just a bit more than booking a flight ticket. Keep that in mind and enjoy your holiday travel.

Happy safari travel!

Featured African safari tour: Kruger to Durban

South Africa is ideal to do a self-drive African safari tours and this itinerary makes even a good combination of fly-in and drive-in. The safari part on private game reserves where you will not use your car is the fly-in part and after that you continue your holiday with your rental car. This allows a good cost balance and a good mixture of guided safari and self-drive exploring.
