SAFARI PLANNING
Family Safaris

Follow these guidelines to help plan a successful safari online with e-gnu.com
·Considerable savings by booking your African safari online with e-gnu.com.
·The key to a successful African safari is research - we provide all the necessary resources, with over 2000 pages and 5000 images. You will find invaluable help in our Country Info, Africa Hotels & Safari Lodges & African Safari Tours pages.
·Making travel arrangements well in advance of your arrival = wider choice & availability of superior options.
·What are your expectations? Total immersion in the wilds on an African safari or a relaxed, easy vacation - or something which combines both the excitement of a safari with the sophistication of Cape Town or a tropical beach resort?
·Decide whether you wish to travel alone - or are you comfortable in a group?

·Establish basic idea of parks and regions you want to visit. Remember that combining East Africa with Southern Africa can result in considerable added expenses and time. Best research site: Africa's Wildlife Parks and Game Reserves.
·Take note of the seasons - both climatic and touristic.
·Dry seasons (April - September) provide best game viewing opportunities.
·
Flying on charter aircraft between lodges saves a lot of time, but road transportation allows a close up view of more of the country.

Safaris can be demanding - allow yourself an overnight in a city if necessary to refresh yourself. Prevent getting exhausted.
·The easiest solution is to use our Safari Request Form to mail your ideas to our consultants who will compile your own personal safari itinerary and quotation.
