Are you in the mood for an exciting, once in a lifetime
vacation? Look no farther than the savanna areas of Africa
for a tour of African animals in their natural habitat. You
may see lions as they roam the African plains along side
zebras, elephants, antelopes, giraffes and more wild and
exotic life. Why settle to see these splendorous creatures
from your family room television? Partake in a wondrous
tour and see for yourself the magnificence of these areas,
unequalled elsewhere in the world. An experienced tour
guide puts its guests~ safety and the animal~s safety first
while still allowing you get close up to wild game as you
ride in 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.
Tourism is a major source of revenue for African countries
such as Kenya and Tanzania. There are a number of
reputable tour operators in the region that partner with
American tour companies to provide a quality experience for
tourists from the United States. Tour guides speak
excellent English and the staff at the major tourist sites
and hotels speaks fluent English as well. Tour guides
begin their service with "meet and greet" at the airport
and provide full service to the departure gate at the end
of the tour.
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.
