Africa has been always surrounded by mystery and considered a dangerous land where roam wild animals, jungles are thick and uncivilized tribes eat men! For this reason this land has earned the nickname "The Dark Continent". Still, today Africa is a mixture of modern cities and areas with splendid nature and rich wildlife, so no wonder that travel agencies sell a lot of African safari vacation packages and more and more African countries are visited for spending extremely interesting vacations and cultural tours.
From north to south and from west to east the face and culture of Africa changes, like the shape of its land and its climate. In terms of diversity, Africa is over all other continents and this is the reason why a vacation spent there is a very rich life experience, filled with a variety of stunning sights and pleasant surprises... Some tourists, when pick out one of the many available safari vacation packages, already imagine themselves roaming over wide grassland and tracking dangerous animals with the natives!
The image about Africa as a land filled with lush jungles and animals roaming wild is still very powerful. This is the motive why African vacations have a such success on the tourist market! Anywhere the word safari is associated with adventure, discovery of unusual habitats and watching of specific wildlife.
There are a few things that tourists should do to assure that their African safari travel is not only exciting, but also safe! To be enjoyable, a safari tour must include an experienced guide or a local tour operator who is very familiar with the local conditions and etiquette. Travelers should also make sure that the essential things for a safari (accommodation, meals, ground transportation, airport transfers) are included in the vacation package. Also, the weather is a very important thing in Africa. The weather conditions are generally good throughout the whole year, still the autumn and winter are the best for safaris because then is the dry season.
Some of the most popular tours and safari vacation packages include Okavango Delta, Kruger National Park, Sabi-Sands, Serengeti, Masai Mara, Chobe National Park, the Namib Desert, Victoria Falls, Etosha Park, Mount Kenya, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Although wildlife viewing is the main purpose of African safaris, tourists can also undertake diverse other vacation activities such as ballooning, birding, fishing, hunting, canoe riding or interacting with natives. Many safari tours include guided nature walks in which are provided interesting information about indigenous plant species. Usually, vacation packages to Africa include accommodation in safari lodges, offering also an important African experience. Most of these lodges offer amenities similar to urban hotels and supply all meals.
