Safari holidays involve a trip where you go to look at wild animals in their native habitat. Safari provides a substantial amount of revenue for many African countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia.
They became a popular form of recreation that grew out of the activity of hunting at the turn of the 20th century. As hunting began to decline and endanger the numbers of animals, many people started turning against hunting them and instead chose to view.
Types of Safari Holidays
There are several types of safari holidays for you to choose from. You can stay small tented camps that are seasonal and removed during the rainy seasons, or you can stay in large permanent structures that have more than 100 rooms in them.
In addition, you can see animals on foot, on horseback, in cars, on the back of an elephant, or a boat. Of course, this depends on the type of soil that you and the types of animals you’re seeing.
Many companies offer specific safari holidays to accommodate you and your special occasion-whether it’s a safari for three days or seven days, taking a safari in a hot air balloon, taking a safari with your family or taking a safari with your spouse on a honeymoon.
Safari season
There are three main parts: peak season safari, high and low season. In the 2011 season, the parties are indicated below:
Peak: 23 December to 02 January; 01 February – 28 February; 01 July to 31 October
High: 01 November to 22 December; 03 January and 31 January; 01 March to 9 April; 01 June to 30 June.
Low: 10 April to 31 May.
During the low season, you can often save money on a safari holiday, due to the fact that there are so many Safari reservations for people during this period of time.
