Planning Your African Safari



For most people an African safari is a significant investment in the “Trip of a Lifetime” and for a large portion it becomes a wonderful obsession to return again and again. Planning the ultimate safari can be a daunting task with infinite choices to make and amazing brochures and promises that make every choice sound perfect.

My planning philosophy is to have an open dialogue to determine what a client is hoping to see and experience on safari. Then based on factors such as budget, time of travel, and certain desired style choices I can recommend the best options to create the ultimate custom safari experience.

This section of The Wild Source website is dedicated to help you understand the different facets that ‘safari’ can encompass so you can have a feel for what type of safari best fits your style. As we plan I will make sure that you know your options and craft an itinerary that is customized to best fit your desires. As I present the many factors to consider I give my planning philosophies and explain why that is my preference. If your preference differs that is great and I assure you we plan around what you want at all times!

Factors to Consider

This is written as a planning guide that should be used by any consumer to become educated. If you work with The Wild Source you can believe these things will be well explained but if you try another agent please use this to your benefit to ensure a properly planned safari.
