5 Reasons You Need to Book a Safari ASAP!
Lockdown has made all of us more eager than ever to get out & travel the world. Because of this, many people have already begun planning their trips for 2021! One trip we are we want to highlight is a luxury safari. Between the connection with nature, the ability to social distance (in a big way!), and the overall once-in-a-lifetime experience, safaris have become one of the most sought-after trips to take this year. With that said, let’s take a closer look at what makes safaris so incredible and why is the perfect experience in the current travel environment.
Safaris are designed for social distancing
Talk about privacy and seclusion- a safari tent is the ultimate in this category! Plus during these times, the traditional safari operators aren’t booking large group tours. Instead, they are focused on helping families and small groups design their own custom private vacations.
2. Wildlife and game viewing experiences are virtually uninterrupted.
With less tourists around, travelers are able to get the most out of each experience. While usually animal sightings only happen for a few minutes, now tours have the chance to stop and watch the animals in their natural habitat for longer periods of time without the need to keep it moving for a jeep behind them.
3. Hotels are offering reduced rates & major flexibility
Because of these unprecedented times, hotel rates have gone down and policies have become more flexible. Many people save up for years to book these trips, and now with the deals and specials running, it is the perfect time to capitalize on that property that you were dreaming about.
4. African countries have done an amazing job of controlling COVID outbreaks
Botswana, for example, suffered less than 50 deaths from COVID-19 in all of 2020 according to Johns Hopkins University. In addition, Kenya reported around 100,000 cases in the whole of last year, about half as many new infections as the U.S. recorded every day in December. This impressive record has most African countries back up & ready for travelers to visit in the coming months. Plus, the borders have been open and ready to accept American tourists
5. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.
With more space to wander and the chance to have this bucket list experience with fewer people around, it’s an experienced travelers ultimate dream.
