GETTING STARTED
We’ll ask some questions about everyone traveling with you, and if there’s anything, in particular, you want to see or do. We’ve members in the team who are experts on planning family safaris, Couples Safaris, PWD’s Friendly Safaris or Women-Only Tours, and we’ll make sure you are advised by the best person for your trip.
When should I start planning?
Although we can put together a stunning last-minute safari in a matter of days, you’ll get a wider choice of accommodation if you can plan at least six months ahead. If you’re a larger group of friends or a family, give us as much time as possible, even a year or more in Advance.
How many countries should I visit?
This depends on the time you have available, your wishes and budget. We will often suggest combining two or even three countries. For example, Gorilla tracking combines wonderfully with a classic big game safari in Kenya or Tanzania.
How long is a typical safari?
Africa is vast – hopping from one country to another can take several hours or more – so it’s important to allow time to travel. Seven (07) days on the ground would be the minimum we would suggest, ten (01) days or more is ideal. We’ll make the best of your time by connecting distant places with light aircraft flights, saving you the long and bumpy drives.
How do I prepare for my safari?
Once your holiday is confirmed, we will provide you with extensive pre-departure information which contains everything you need to know prior to your holiday. We’re always happy to help over email, no matter how small a query may seem.
Realm Africa Safaris™ service will follow you to your destination, where you’ll be met at every airport and greeted warmly at each camp and lodge. Our 24-hour emergency contact number is available should you need help or advice during your holiday. We love hearing about your travels and will be in touch on your return to find out how you have enjoyed your safari.
