What Is A Luxury Safari?

A luxury safari is the best African safari experience you can have.  Luxury safaris accommodate tourists with the best choice of amenities available on safari.  Luxury safaris generally begin in remote locales with the best opportunity for viewing game, whereas many other safari packages take place on National Park lands where you are quartered in National Park Safari Camps.

A luxury safari features pleasantries like high quality, air-conditioned lodges and four and five star meals, high tea, readily available refreshments and snacks.  The diversity of game and your opportunity to see truly remote areas of Africa are best enjoyed on a luxury safari.

Luxury safaris are readily available in all areas of Africa.  The experience may differ slightly from one site to another, but most have luxurious accommodations and readily available amenities in common.  All should guarantee you the opportunity to experience Africa’s Big Five; the lion, the rhino, the buffalo, the elephant, and the leopard.  The itinerary of a luxury safari might go something like this:

You begin your day around 6AM with a light breakfast and coffee, and you are soon on the safari road to your first game run.  Your expert driver is in earnest pursuit of the game herds and you are on safari in the savannahs by 7AM.

Two hours later, you return to camp and tell stories and share the morning’s adventures with fellow lodgers.  You enjoy tea as you talk.  By noon, you are dining on your first course of a four- course luncheon.  After, you take coffee and cheese on the veranda that overlooks the remote game lands.

You will spend the next several hours relaxing poolside or doing whatever you wish in the exclusive comfort of your luxury safari lodgings.  By 3PM, your expert driver will take you back out for an afternoon game run, where you will be amazed at the diversity of creature and beast.

Then, your luxury safari experience will continue upon your return.  By 6 or 7PM you have enjoyed a soothing and relaxing bath that has cleansed the safari dirt from your body and left you in the mood to enjoy a leisurely dinner.  The dining selection is eclectic and you can choose from a wide variety of outstanding cuisine.  After dinner, you might enjoy some more time on the veranda taking in the sights or an after dinner drink at the bar.

As the evening proceeds to dark, you find yourself before the fire, gazing in awe above your head, as the brilliant stars begin to fill the night sky.  Soon after, you retire to your lodge.  The construction is very native on the outside and filled with luxurious furnishings and decoration on the inside.  You go to sleep feeling pampered by your hosts and fulfilled by your day’s adventures.

You dream of the Great African Plains and the wonders thereof, only to awake and find yourself, once more, in their midst.  Your luxury safari is, at long last, a dream come true.
