Would you go on an exclusive luxury safari? If yes, you're probably wondering where to start and I've got 5 exclusive tips to set you up for a successful and memorable adventure in the wild. Here are some pointers to set you straight.
1. Work with a luxury travel advisor.
This is the most important step because it will make or break your safari. Collaborating with a knowledgeable luxury travel advisor will save you valuable time and as we all know time is money. If you're like me and you don't play about your time, a luxury travel advisor will come in handy. From tailored travel arrangements, advise on the best time to travel, all the exclusive experiences at your disposal, you name it and its sorted out.
2. Pack appropriate fits that match your fly.
When it comes to an exclusive luxury safari, having the appropriate outfit is essential. Think about it, warm climate, expansive savannahs, wild animals and all that jazz will encompass your entire trip. Packing clothes that will ensure your relaxed as well as comfy shoes will make your experience much better. Don't overthink it, if it feels and looks good then it'll do the job. Remember when you look good, you feel good and that’s what counts.
3. Prep in advance.
Before embarking on an exclusive luxury safari, it's very important to prep in advance. This looks like choosing the best destination in regards to your preference, picking the experience that suits your taste, familiarize yourself with your itinerary and possibly including other experiences in addition to your safari, packing light etcetera. Having an idea of what's ahead will definitely help smoothen the entire travel experience.
4. Explore all activity options.
An exclusive luxury safari is more than just a game drive. There are so many things to try out depending on your destination of choice. All exclusive experiences vary but here’s a couple off the top: A helicopter ride over the Okavango delta observing the spectacular views, a hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara, exquisite stargazing dinners, private sundowners in the wild, spa treatments engulfed in nature, intimate wildlife encounters all which could be tailored to your liking. There are many other activities all dependent on what's right up your alley.
5. Security.
Always take responsibility of your own safety during the safari. The exclusive luxury safari is generally safe and there's always well trained guards and guides assigned to ensure your safety. However your own personal safety is paramount for instance don't walk alone at night unaccompanied in the reserves, if you're on a game drive it's recommended to remain in the vehicles until the guides advice it's safe to explore by foot. These minor details are essential to ensure your safety otherwise the exclusive luxury safari will knock your socks off as you interact with the animals and nature one on one.
In hindsight, an exclusive luxury safari is an iconic experience for everyone from children, couples, large families, corporate groups among others. As long as you're interested, there's a lot to look forward to. If you want to have a seamless experience and save your time, consider working with a luxury travel advisor and have every part of your travel arrangements sorted out to a tee! All you have to do is show up. Bon voyage!
