Regardless whether you subscribe to the no-stress, all-inclusive vacation<\/a> vibe or the challenge of backpacking around Europe, every traveler has dreamt of seeing the beauty of African wildlife via safari. If you\u2019ve started to look into it, you might be overwhelmed by the options and, ahem, the cost. It\u2019s an expensive endeavor to book a safari and it can be difficult to know what to look for in a company.<\/p>\n

Travel agents can be an excellent resource, but the advice you\u2019ll definitely want to take as you check off this bucket list travel item is that of Lori Robinson, a safari consultant and founder of SavingWild.com<\/a>, who also worked for famed British primatologist Jane Goodall, as her African adventure specialist. The two connected via their families: Jane\u2019s parents and Lori\u2019s grandfather were friends and neighbors in London. In fact, Lori\u2019s grandfather was the one who drove newborn Jane home from the hospital in 1934.<\/p>\n

Lori grew up idolizing Jane and hoping to live like her one day, in the African bush. Once she was older, she worked as her specialist, leading donors on safaris to visit the chimpanzees of Gombe Stream Park in Tanzania, and has continued to lead and write about conservation issues for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Africa for the first time on a modeling assignment in 1984 and fell in love with its wildness. It\u2019s one of the only places left on earth where you can see such a wide variety of animals up close, living wild and free,\u201d she says. \u201cBeing on safari changed me. The silence, the open space, the lack of technology, man-made buildings and electric wires allows me to connect to a place inside that is often lost in our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here, Robinson shares how travelers can get the most of out of their trek to Africa.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Figure out which safari is right for you<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Robinson says while most Americans imagine Africa as a far away land known for famine, poaching and war, the true resilience and allure of Africa is far more positive. Not only can you find lions, rhinos, elephants and more, but Africa is the origin of all human life, stemming hundreds of thousands of years ago. It\u2019s also the second-largest continent in the world, encompassing a vast variety of governments, ecosystems, economies and historical traditions. Because of all of the choices, she says it\u2019s essential to be mindful of what type of safari you actually want to go on (i.e. basic vs. luxury, Big Five vs. gorillas and primates, etc.) as ten of Africa\u2019s 54 countries offer safaris and many differ greatly.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t cut costs
\n<\/strong>While going budget-friendly for certain types of trips\u2014like a bachelorette party or a weekend getaway\u2014can be a smart was to save money, Robinson says if you\u2019re going to take a safari, prepare to spend a chunk of change. Setting that expectation early, she says, will make your safari adventure that much more incredible. \u201cIf you try and save money, it will dramatically lessen your experience,” says Robinson. “There is a huge difference in quality at different price levels. You don’t need the most expensive itinerary but you absolutely don’t want the least expensive either,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Choose your safari style
\n<\/strong>There is no one-trip-fits-all safari. That\u2019s why thinking ahead about what type of experience you want to have is essential to making sure you feel like you received your money\u2019s worth according to Robinson. There are two ways to go on a safari according to Robinson: Choose a pre-arranged itinerary where you\u2019ll adventure with strangers (unless you have a minimum of four people to travel with you), or work with a specialized agent who will create a custom trip made to fit your needs, your timing and, of course, your dreams. Robinson recommends the latter, which might (again!) be pricier, but also worth the extra zeros to create a once-in-a-lifetime trip with someone you love.<\/p>\n

Determine which wildlife you want to see<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"iStock-532181202.jpg\"
\n<\/strong>Though it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll book a last-minute, 20-hour trip to Africa to go on a safari, say, next week, Robinson says making a list of what wildlife you want to catch a glimpse of can help you determine when you should take your trip. This will also help you narrow down which country to go to, with the right parks open for viewing elephants, lions and more. \u201cIf you are limited to when you can go, you need to find out which is the best country to go for that particular time of year,” says Robinson. “Seeing the wildlife is the whole point of going on safari!\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t DIY your safari
\n<\/strong>Even if you consider yourself self-sufficient enough to book a ticket to the Alhambra in Granada, or a visit to the Sistine Chapel in Rome<\/a>, Robinson says a DIY-trip to Africa will be more stressful than it\u2019s worth. \u201cUnlike planning a trip to Europe or Australia, for instance, planning your first safari will require a safari operator,” she says. “Choosing the company you will pay to handle all the logistics of your safari from the minute you touch down in Africa until the minute you leave may be the most difficult decision of your trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson says to be wary of groups claiming they won travel awards, as some of those may be rigged. Instead, she recommends looking for operators who have been planning safaris for at least 10 years, who have at least three people on staff and can easily answer your questions. \u201cLook at their websites and call them directly to get a feel for the differences in their style. Referrals from friends who have gone on safari can also be one way to weed the good from the bad operators,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget your camera and binoculars<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"iStock-174790216.jpg\"
\n<\/strong>Nope, according to Robinson, your iPhone doesn\u2019t count. Her clients who only show up with their smartphone have been disappointed by the quality, so consider investing in (or renting or borrowing) a professional camera to capture the experience. As for those binoculars? Robinson says even when a tour guide promises they\u2019ll be available, they may not be of a high quality.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve taken a couple hundred photos and picked your jaw up off the ground? Robinson encourages travelers to step away from technology and take it all in. \u201cPut down your cameras and binoculars once in awhile, just to have a more intimate experience with the wildlife surrounding you,\u201d she says. “Of all the clients I have designed trips for or led on safari the most common remark is that they could not have imagined they would see so many, and such a variety of, wildlife. On my recent 10-day trip to Botswana my group saw over 500 elephants. Clients also tell me the trip, more than any other they have taken around the world, changed them.\u201d<\/p>\n
