Practical Tips for Middle Eastern Travelers Planning a Safari

Planning a safari is an exciting adventure, but it doesn’t have to be stressful—especially with Thanda’s expert concierge and travel planning services, which ensure your journey is seamless from start to finish. To help you prepare for an unforgettable experience, here are some practical tips:

  • Best Time to Visit: While the dry season from June to October is renowned as the best time for game viewing, as animals tend to gather around waterholes, the beauty of Africa’s wildlife can be enjoyed year-round. Depending on the region, other seasons offer their own unique experiences. For instance, the green season (from November to April) brings lush landscapes and a burst of newborn wildlife. Thanda provides a year-round safari experience, with each season offering something special, so you can choose the perfect time to visit based on your preferences.
  • What to Pack: Packing smartly is key to having a comfortable safari experience. Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral tones—this not only ensures you stay cool in the African heat but also helps you blend in with the environment, making for a more enjoyable and immersive experience. The African sun can be intense – don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face, sunglasses to shield your eyes, and sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Sturdy walking shoes are a must for excursions, while a pair of binoculars and a good camera will help you capture the incredible wildlife. You may also want to bring insect repellent and a light jacket for cooler evenings.
  • Seamless Travel: Time is precious, and Thanda’s concierge service makes sure every detail is taken care of so that you can focus on enjoying the adventure. From private transfers to luxury flights, Thanda’s bespoke travel planning services ensure smooth connections and no time wasted. Whether it’s arranging expedited check-ins, exclusive access to flights, or organising customised itineraries, Thanda takes the stress out of travel logistics, leaving you to fully immerse in the beauty and excitement of the safari.
