Safari through Africa

15:36 Mon 24th May 2010 |

Africa has some of the world finest nature reserves you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the world and is renowned for wildlife spotting from the land to the ocean. This vast country also boasts heaps of history and architectural delights. So take a tour around some of the most renowned places and witness the beauty for yourself.

Preparation:

It isn’t advisory to arrive in Africa with large amounts of local currency, you should take smaller travellers cheques which can be cashed as and when they are needed or cancelled if lost or stolen. You should also ask around and find out how much luggage is advisory and what style luggage is best for a safari trip.

Africa is notorious for its high temperatures and vast open land so remember to stock up with sun block, Africa isn’t called sunburnt country for nothing-so ensure you don’t get burnt and ruin your holiday. Also sunglasses will come in handy while out in the brightness of the daytime sun and will better equip you for seeing the most breathtaking landscape. Another must is insect repellent as mosquito’s can be very common and you don’t want to risk getting bitten and swelling up like a balloon - that would just ruin the holiday snaps.

Ready for the time of your life?

Africa is a place where plains stretch to eternity and people flock from all over to explore the scorched desserts, where you will still find signs of life in the form of purple vegetation and lush green waterholes. You’ll also find red hills and fiery sunsets and Aboriginal carvings, colourful characters and rustic pubs. Here in the wide, open spaces, a new adventure awaits you at every turn.
