| An amazing array of wildlife | | | | necessary due to the fact that it is us entering |
| Safaris usually take place in Africa where there is | | | | the animal's world, even though these rifles are |
| plenty of space for wildlife to develop. During a | | | | very rarely used, and only in cases of imminent |
| Safari, wildlife is literally all around you, and many | | | | danger. Safari Jeeps can speed up fast in the |
| animals will come to the side of your jeep to say | | | | savannah, and usually outrun any animal threat. |
| hello to you: the most peculiar animal they have | | | | Safari organisers are experienced wildlife experts. |
| ever seen! The larger animals like elephants, tigers, | | | | They will let you know when it is safe to come |
| rhinos, hippos and giraffes tend to approach | | | | out of the transport and what to do at all time, |
| vehicles more due to their size, but you will also | | | | so listen to them and this amazing experience will |
| see smaller animals when they travel in groups. | | | | go smoothly! |
| There is nothing like having fifty monkeys jumping | | | | Safaris are not Zoos |
| and playing all over your 4x4... | | | | One thing that children expect sometimes when |
| Birds are also visible on Safaris, contrary to | | | | going on a Safari is to feed animals. To avoid any |
| popular belief. Given that many African birds are | | | | disappointment (and believe me, there shouldn't be |
| carnivore, they usually have to come down to | | | | any!) make sure you educate them about the |
| ground level to consume their prey. When this | | | | fact that they are entering wildlife, where animals |
| happens, you can observe with binoculars, and | | | | rules the land. Talk to them about the Lion being |
| enjoy the frenzy that is a group of vultures that | | | | the King, about who eats who, and make it |
| devours a carcass in 5 minutes! | | | | interesting enough for them to forget about the |
| Safety is always first | | | | touching. Make up little games like 'I spy' but with |
| When choosing a safari, make sure your operator | | | | animals only, or ask them to count how many |
| has experience, and is taking all the necessary | | | | monkeys/birds they see. They will be amazed by |
| safety measures for your excursion: water, | | | | the Safari, but if you want to fully enjoy your |
| safety kit, enough gas for the day, food, and an | | | | safari, you will have to give your children a little |
| emergency tranquiliser-dart rifle. This is always | | | | something to do with their hand as well! |
