First-Time Safari: The Five Choices That Define Your Trip

A safari is a series of decisions made months before you land. Here are the five that matter.

Guide over camp

A great guide in an average camp beats an average guide in a great camp, every time.

Private vehicle

You want to stay when the leopard climbs the tree. On a shared vehicle you leave when the group leaves.

Season

The migration is not one moment. It is a movement across nine months. Know which act you want to see.
