A Safari Is A Gift Of Education For The Whole Family!

Embarking on a family safari is more than just a trip. Rather, it's a transformative experience that lingers in the hearts and minds of generations. Social psychologists at Cornell University found in a 2015 study called We’ll Always Have Paris that experiential purchases like travel tend to bring more lasting happiness than material purchases. Such experiences foster social relationships in the retelling of the tale and can become a more meaningful part of one’s identity.

Should You Head East Or South For An Africa Safari?

Because of the continent’s enormous size, safari veterans usually divide Africa into two regions, eastern and southern. Focusing your interest on one particular region makes sense when considering a two-week stay.

In both regions, you will have a chance to see the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo) but you find there are different species unique to each region. Both these regions offer plenty of attractions, so we try to figure out exactly what type of safari experience you’d like to have and then we narrow it down from there.

Last-Minute Planning? Expert Tips for Booking on Short Notice!

Not everyone can commit to booking a safari a year in advance. While it’s advisable to plan a year ahead for a trip to the African continent, it’s still possible to book at short notice and we often do this for our guests!

Tip #1 - Use A Vetted Safari Professional

An expert safari tour operator will use her first-hand experience, industry knowledge and on-the-ground vendor relationships to help you get the best possible camp and lodge availability.

Tip #2 - Ensure Your Travel Documents & Vaccinations Are Up To Date

Check that your passport is still valid for 6 months from the return date of travel. You will also need consecutive blank pages depending on the countries you are visiting.

Tip #3 - Be Flexible
Instead of focusing on a specific accommodation, think about what you want from your safari.

- Do you want to canoe down the Zambezi River?
- See the Great Migration?
- Interact with locals?
- Extend your time in a city or coastal destination?

Staying flexible and open-minded opens other opportunities.

With Tett Safaris’ 30+ years of experience in the safari business, we can book your travel in the space of just a few days with quick, expert planning.

Safaris are always relatively casual affairs, where keeping warm in layers and blending in with the environment are the main focus. The only strict rules have to do with the weight of your belongings, as you are on several types of transport and at times there is a strict weight limit on what each guest is allowed to bring.

Michael L. traveled to Kenya (Amboseli National Park, Lewa Conservancy and the Masai Mara) with a group of his closest and dearest friends. We felt so moved by what they shared about their safari:

"The thing that I am sure that you know, but we experienced it over again: The Massai culture and their respect for nature is such a relief in today’s world. We had an almost spiritual adventure watching animals in their natural realm. It was so much fun and we want to thank you for all that you did to make it special." - Michael L.
