What is the best Safari in Africa?

The best Safari in Africa is one that includes a tour of Kenya. This is because, in Kenya, tourists get the chance to view the only two Northern White Rhinos in existence. They also witness one of the wonders of the world; the great wildebeest migration. Tourists get to witness the millions of wildebeest navigating the most dangerous part of their journey; crossing the Mara river where they have to fight for their lives against the crocodiles in the river and the lions on the banks.

What is the most appropriate type of luggage to bring?

We strongly recommend bringing a backpack or duffel bag, as suitcases can be cumbersome and difficult to store in buses, under seats, etc.. Keep in mind that you will normally have to carry your own luggage on and off buses and trains and up and down hotel staircases. Suitcases with wheels may not work well on dirt or cobblestone roads.

What type of ground transportation is used on your tours?

Trip specific information on transportation can be found on the trip summary page however in most cases we use public transportation. We’ve found that how you get there significantly influences the tone of your journey and public transportation allows face-to-face interaction with the local people. Some of our adventures, including our “Superior”, “Comfort Class” and most adventures in Africa, use private transportation.
