Go On Safari
Ticked off in October 2008
What it is
An African safari is the chance to see lions, elephants, giraffes and much more in the wild.
How to do it
Popular choices include Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa and Zambia.
Top tip
Pack neutral colours and a pair of binoculars.
My experience
There are thousands of options if you want to go on safari, primarily the location and time of year due to weather should be what guides your choices. Countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique all offer fantastic opportunities to have incredible experiences.
Budgets also play a part as some locations offer exclusive luxury lodges for thousands of pounds (or dollars) per night. Fear not, there are many cheaper ways to experience the excitement of a a safari without taking out a mortgage.
I am a massive animal lover, if I could, I would spend every day out in the wild with the animals that roam the plains of Africa.
