Why go on a safari vacation


So you have been thinking about it for a while now, the great African escape, a safari in the savanna, the Kalahari or even the Sahara. But you can’t quite understand why a safari is the best option, especially compared to that Arab escape in the plush Dubai and Abu Dhabi resorts. I mean the safari trip costs pretty much the same if not more and with all the other factors considered, a vacation to the Arabic deserts is much better. You will get there faster and the infrastructure is way better, but that itch to do safari stays persistent. Why exactly do you want to do a safari vacation?
Lets try listing some convincing points!

 
 
-          It’s a safari, just saying that makes it a must, how many friends or family do you know who has that African safari tale that they can’t stop telling?  A safari vacation has been a mainstay in the bucket lists of many a discerning world traveler. The appeal is raised by how exclusive and different it is, Paris tower and a few other destinations have been publicized so much they don't have that impact anymore, a safari on the other hand is very much mysterious, you don't really know where you will go once you arrive at your destination. every day becomes a mystery as the guides still have to scout the bush to find you the wildlife, and the experiences do not exist elsewhere.

-          Its challenging, going on safari is not as easy as going on other vacations. It takes years in planning and months in preparing documentation, you don’t just pick up and vacate as you would you on an European trip. Here you will need medical tests, VISA and even permissions on certain instances. This buildup adds to the excitement.

-          The natural beauty, possibly the main reason you want to come on safari. You have grown up seeing animals on zoos and maybe a few on a circus, and a bit of you has always been against seeing animals in captivity, the African safari offers you a chance to see the animals in their natural habitat, freely roaming and being wild.

-          Isolation and space, freedom, choose your tour provider and destination wisely and you disappear on the radar (in a good way😝). A safari destination usually involves places with no evidence of modernity, no internet, radio, TV cellphones and best of all, no noise. The silence is amazing, allowing to completely wind down and unplug. And the views are amazing as well, the skies get really dark at night so you will star gaze like never before. Its this reason that many couples come to really catch up, its serene, quite, lazy and super luxurious. But that doesn't mean you cant come solo, you can come and do as much soul searching as you want, there wont many singles though so don't get your hopes too high!!

We could go on trying to sell you the reasons you want to come on safari but as we both know, you don't need any.
