A Day on an African Safari


It is the unscripted wild magnificence that is the highlight of the safari experience so it is odd to boil it down to a schedule. For the first timer this is an introduction on what to expect on a daily basis, just bear in mind that it is the anticipation of what will actually be seen next and then the thrilling sightings that are different every single time out that make an African safari so special.

Schedules can differ slightly from camp to camp but this will provide a look at typical safari schedules for the different regions. While the schedules may look regimented it is to give you an idea of the flow. In well-managed camps there will be a lot of flexibility to meet your needs as well as correspond to what is happening in the field on your activities. For a better flavor of the safari experience read the excerpts from my trip reports at some of my favorite locations included here.
