safari mistakes

Safari mistake
categories 1 to 6
Group
tours
If you book a group tour on less than a
luxury or high-quality one, you risk suffering vehicle mates who incessantly
talk, argue, tell bad jokes, irritatingly laugh, whatever.
Costs
Spending too little is a
common safari mistake. Your adventure is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you could later regret it if you
skimp. When planning your adventure, make the most of it.
Timing
During the middle of the day, many mammals take shelter in the bushes and tall
grasses. Early morning and late afternoon are the best game-viewing times.
Vehicle
type
A
tour in a minivan may make you feel like a sardine in a can - and your
ride will be bumpy and your view, obscured.
Guides
& drivers
People who drive their own vehicles miss out. Much of their attention is focused on driving, not on looking for wildlife.
Health
& safety
Some visitors forget to pack eye drops. Carry them, particularly if you wear
contact lenses. air carries fine-particle dust.
