safari is like
tips you can trust
Top 5 reasons
luxury safaris
are special
They cost more than ordinary ones, but they are a better value. You get more for your money, as reasons 1 to 5 below demonstrate.
Better
game-drives
Choice
game areas
Some luxury safaris have exclusive traversing rights to the best locations. This
means superior wildlife sightings.
Private
game reserves
Luxury safari outfits often have private reserves, which allow them to go off
road where much of the exciting action takes place. Nearly all ordinary safari
operators do not have private reserves, which means they cannot leave the paved
and gravel roads.
Rangers
and trackers
They are more carefully selected, better trained, and more eager to find the
animals for you.
Uncrowded
You seldom see a bevy of vehicles surrounding a lion like a swarm of paparazzi. And seating
is usually two, not three abreast.
Better
service
Personalized
The staff-to-guest ratio is high, employees are more professional and
hospitable. They pamper you. They remember your name, how you like your martini,
and more.
Better
accommodations
Comfortable
and stylish
Your cottage, tent, whatever will be a haven for relaxing and refreshing after
game drives.
Better
public spaces
Everything - from the main lodge building to the pool - is a soothing
environment for taking it easy.
Better
dining
Food
quality and presentation
It's several notches higher than found in mid-range lodges. And you have a wider
menu selection.
