Safari - The World’s Best Places To Kill… Or Admire

March 13th, 2008 Olga Pizza Posted in Adventure Travel |

Mild wind in your hair, sultry day, subdued voices of your friends… You’re tired but still feel so impressed and full of emotions. Just another day on your adventure tour, so exciting and so emotional.

What does adventure travel mean for you? Walking tour, horse rinding, rafting? Notwithstanding the type of activity you prefer, all of us are seeking for more meaningful vacation. Cruise buffet and sandy beaches are not interesting for us any more. We need something exciting and memorable… or just need to try something new in order to understand that the “usual” holiday is just the thing we are dreaming about.

Safari… For some people this word is associated with something cruel and very expensive (such an interesting combination). Well, this time you don’t have to kill anyone. Just admire the nature, animals and perhaps, take some photos. No luxurious hotels, dress codes and cocktail parties on the beach.

India and Africa are considered to be the leaders for such a type of vacation. As a rule, you may choose between 7 or 14 days trip, with at least 3 people in a group. Thus, Indian companies offer you to visit the most famous temples or forests of this country. The other interesting option is the kind of transport you choose. Horses, camels or trivial cars. But of course, you should have some training at home in order to stand 4/6 hours riding everyday. Talking about hotels I wasn’t right. Different packages provide you with all the necessary things including tickets to some regions as well as booking rooms in hotels. And they also may be luxurious

“The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it.” Tree climbing lions, antelopes, hippo and plenty leopard sightings. First of all, you should choose the country. Botswana and Namibia for those who prefer solitude. With only 2 people per square kilometer it is rather possible. South Africa and Namibia have a good infrastructure in Africa, so this is possibly the cheapest safari destination. Tanzania presents you a breathtaking view of Lake Manyara with its millions of flamingoes. Kenya offers you to admire The Annual Great Migration of more than 1.5 million antelope, but you have to fly for traveling between parks. Of course, it will increase your costs. Zambia is lesser known safari country, so its infrastructure also is not so developed.

It is just a short description of the places where you can look differently at this life. Just a reminding about these wonderful places. Sometimes admiring the beauty of leopards or zebras, we may think that this world is perfect. With such beautiful creatures, it is really possible. Just don’t forget about it
