Top Tips for Your First African Safari

On this week's Just the Tip, we're giving you all the best tips for your first African safari! After going on several safaris we've learned a thing or two about the different types of safaris, when to go, and what to bring with you. We also dive into arrival tips, hiring a driver, safari etiquette, and bathrooms you'll find in the bush.

Check out our ⁠Amazon Safari List⁠, which has our ⁠favorite binoculars⁠ as well as some of our favorite things to pack on safari.

Here are some of our favorite lodges we've stayed in while on safari:

Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe
Twiga Safari Lodge in Murchison Falls National Park
Primate Lodge in Kibale National Park
Elephant Plains Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Rushaga Gorilla Lodge in Bwindi National Park

Check out our episodes on Uganda & South Africa to hear about our safari adventures!
