Treat Yourself To A Luxury African Safari In The South Or The East

Luxury African safari travel has been growing in popularity for many years, as falling air fares combine with increased media exposure to raise the awareness of those who were just waiting to have their interest stimulated. The majority of new safari goers are attracted to South Africa, and the Kruger Park in particular, which is definitely one of the best places on the continent to start. People with more experience, or those looking for something new, are often drawn to the variety of East Africa, whether for a traditional safari or a bird watching exercise. It has never been easier to book an African safari.

There are many people opening up to the idea of safari who would not have even considered it in the past. The most popular safari destination, South Africa, was under an apartheid regime, and many did not want to contribute to that by putting their money into the South African economy. The other African nations did not really have the infrastructure to support what could genuinely be called a luxury safari. Now, tour operators have improved the conditions in many Third World countries, and of course apartheid in South Africa is long gone.

There has always been a greater degree of stability throughout much of East Africa, and now that organized tours have improved the standard of hospitality you can enjoy in the region there is no reason not to consider it. As safari country, it is right there with the very best. Kenya and Tanzania can offer the traditional animal safari, including luxury safaris provided they are booked with the right operator. They can also offer interesting diversions such as Kilimanjaro and the island of Zanzibar.

A luxury African safari needs to incorporate comfortable travel, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to restrict yourself to the traditional motor vehicle. Riding on horseback can be a very effective way of ensuring that you see more of what there is to see, as there is no screen between you and the landscape, and animals have a deeper trust of human beings on horseback. The same applies to birds, if you choose to incorporate bird watching into your safari.

You will need to be specific when you book your luxury African safari, as there are so many variations on this theme. Do you want to see as wide an area as possible, traveling on first class trains in between experiencing the best that each region has to offer, or do you want to just settle in to one region to explore it as thoroughly as possible? Both of these are possible, along with just about everything in between. There will always be more than enough to bring you back for another luxury African safari.
