Why Planning Ahead is Key for Your African Adventure 🌍

 

Hello Safari Enthusiasts!

Dreaming of capturing the majestic Big Five, Cheetahs in the Karoo landscapes, and the vibrant hues of an African sunset on the Chobe river?

A photographic safari in Africa is the experience of a lifetime, but to make the most of it, planning ahead is crucial. Here’s why you should start organising your next adventure now

Why Plan Ahead?

Prime Viewing Opportunities

Wildlife sightings can be seasonal. By planning ahead, you can choose the best time to visit specific parks and reserves, ensuring you witness the greatest wildlife spectacles. Whether it’s the Great Migration in the Masai Mara or the annual migration and nesting of the Carmine Bee-eaters on the banks of the Zambezi river, timing is everything.

Securing the Best Accommodations

Our most popular dates & destinations fill up quickly, often months in advance. Early planning guarantees you a seat on your preferred date, even more so if you are planning to go as a group of friends.

Tailored Itineraries

Planning ahead allows for a more personalised safari experience. You can work with our team to craft an itinerary that suits your photographic goals, whether it’s focusing on birdlife, big cats, or breathtaking landscapes. Talk to us about add-on options for your trip.

Financial Benefits

Booking early often comes with financial perks, such as early-bird discounts or better rates on flights and accommodations. It also gives you more time to budget and save for your trip.

Adequate Preparation Time

A photographic safari requires specific gear and sometimes even special training. Planning ahead gives you ample time to purchase equipment, take photography courses, and familiarize yourself with the techniques needed for capturing wildlife in their natural habitats.
