Looking for an exciting vacation tour? Look no farther than
the savanna areas of Africa. Rich with views of the African
animals in their natural habitat, you can see lions as they
roam the African plains along side antelope, elephants,
zebras, giraffes and more wildlife. Why settle to see these
splendors from your living room TV? Your trip of a lifetime
is waiting for you to take a grand tour and see these
magnificent areas, unequalled anywhere else in the world.
Be a guest of an experienced tour guide that puts your
safety and the animal~s safety first while you get close up
to wild game from inside a 4-wheel drive safari vehicle.
Accommodations in these remote parts of Africa are quite
modern and delightful. Since the temperature is warm the
entire year, the lodgings have an air of freedom about them
that those of us in North America seldom feel. Open air
dining and lounging areas abound. It is not unusual on
these tours to be able to sit on a lovely veranda and,
while sipping afternoon cool beverages, to be able to watch
the nearby classic African animals graze and wander at
will. Depending on the lodge, you may spend the night
sleeping under a classic white netting canopy.
What~s a safari without some adventure? If you~re very
adventuresome, consider a tenting safari. These classic and
elegant tours are carefully orchestrated so the tourist can
experience comfortable, safe and luxurious camp while
co-existing along side the spirit of Africa. These camps
often have permanent structures. The tent may have flooring
that~s wooden or concrete and include a private bathroom
with shower. Many of the dining structures are also
permanent structures. As for dining, breakfast and supper
is ~formal~ while lunch is ~informal~. The experienced camp
staff is able to cater to a tourist~s every need; therefore,
as many Americans are led to believe, tent safaris are not
that primitive. Another plus to an African safari tour is
the daylight hours are at their maximum along the equator,
going from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Many African countries, particularly Kenya and Tanzania, get
a major source of their revenue from tourism. These regions
host a number of reputable tour companies and partner with
American tour companies to provide a quality experience.
Tour guides commonly speak English, along with hotel staff
and staff at major tour sites. A ~meet and greet~ by the
tour guides at the airport starts off most tours. These
same tour guides remain with the tour group throughout the
tour until the group returns to the departure gate at the
completion of the trip.
Are you now wondering about seeing the grand African
savanna? These trips aren~t as expensive as one might think
~ the average cost for a 10-day tour is about $3000 per
person, plus airfare. If you~re like me, chances are that
once you~ve been there, you~ll leave a bit of your heart
behind in this wonderful place that is like none other in
the world.
