Safari answers and questions
At Safari-Safari, we believe preparation is part of the adventure. It sets the rhythm, steadies the mind, and opens the door to a richer journey. In addition, understanding what to expect, what to pack, and how to travel well helps turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. For this reason, we created our guide to Safari questions and answers. Explore these FAQs to find clarity, reassurance, and little insights that help you travel away from the crowd with ease.
A down to earth luxury safari blends comfort with simplicity. You stay in quiet camps that feel warm, natural, and close to the land. The style is refined without excess, shaped by gentle pacing and thoughtful hosting. It invites you to slow down and experience Africa in a calm, meaningful way.

Yes. When planned well, family safaris are safe, joyful, and wonderfully enriching for children. We choose camps and regions that understand young travellers and offer the right mix of comfort, guidance, and calm. In addition, we tailor the pace so little ones have time to rest, explore, and take in the magic without feeling rushed. For parents, this means peace of mind and space to enjoy the journey together.
You can learn more about our child-friendly approach on our ” Little Safari “page. A family safari becomes a shared adventure, full of stories your children will carry for life.
For first time travellers, we guide you toward destinations that offer beauty, comfort, and ease of travel. Tanzania is a wonderful introduction, with wide open plains, steady wildlife sightings, and classic landscapes that feel instantly familiar. You can explore more about Tanzania on our destination page.
In addition, Kenya, Botswana, and Zimbabwe each bring their own rhythm, from busy migration routes to quiet, water based safaris. For this reason, we include this in our Safari questions and answers guide, so you can see how your travel style shapes the journey. From there, we help you choose the region that feels right for your first step into Africa.
Africa is generous all year round, and the best time truly depends on where you wish to travel. Each region has its own rhythm, its own light, and its own wildlife patterns. June to October is dry season in many countries, which often means easier viewing. In addition, the green season from November to May brings softer colours, fewer travellers, and a calmer pace away from the crowd.
Some destinations experience long rains, usually around March to May, when travel can feel less comfortable. For this reason, we help you choose the right window for the region you have in mind. You can also explore different ways of travelling on our Experiences page, which makes the timing feel clearer and more personal to your journey.
Most safaris include accommodation, all meals, guided game drives, park fees, and transfers between camps. In addition, many camps offer extras such as walking safaris or sundowners, depending on the region and the style of your journey.
Items not usually included are international flights, visas, travel insurance, and personal expenses like shop purchases or gratuities. Some activities, for example hot air ballooning or helicopter flights, come at an additional cost.
For this reason, we outline every inclusion and exclusion clearly in your itinerary, so you always know what to expect and can travel with ease. If needed, we adjust the plan to fit your comfort, budget, and preferred way of exploring Africa.
Yes. A safari pairs beautifully with a beach escape, and many travellers choose to end their journey with warm seas and slow days. Mauritius, Zanzibar, and Seychelles all offer easy connections from East and Southern Africa. In addition, each island brings its own flavour, from calm lagoons to spice markets and quiet coves.
You can explore these options on our beach page, where we share the islands we love most. From there, we help you choose the place that matches your rhythm, whether you want rest, culture, or a little adventure after the bush. For this reason, combining safari and beach has become one of our most loved ways to travel away from the crowd.
