The ever changing luxury safari holiday

AppId is over the quota

The high-end safari market has had an incredible rise in recent years; the increase in luxury safari holidays has created new travel operators, and new destinations. You can control your level of luxury, mobility, access, and local involvement up or down in ways that were unforeseeable back when I first traveled across northern Kenya in the 1980's.

In the past there were always a handful of caring people in the African travel industry, but today the notion that the tour operators that you're booking your luxury safari holiday with should be playing a greater role in conservation efforts and in the African communities has truly come to fruition. With some tour operators your money does not just go to spotting the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), part of the money which gets spent on your holiday goes to helping African communities and into research and conservation projects, to enable that the beautiful wildlife is around for your children and their children to see.

I don't know anyone who has not been moved by being on an African safari holiday, but I do understand that a few would do their African safari differently. If you've ever visited an African safari park during the busy dry season, you will have found that some of the parks will have been slightly crowded, you will be travelling around the African bush waiting to spot some African game when all of a sudden a radio call brings ten jeeploads of excited tourists barreling up to witness a lioness and her cubs eating or the sighting of a gracious elephant, you may know the feeling. But that said there is no greater feeling in the world that comes close to seeing nature's most beautiful creatures in their own environment, no matter how busy it is you will be blown away by the beauty and ora of the African wildlife.

African travel agents are working in conjunction with 'pack for purpose' which is an organization which uses the available space in your luggage to take across to your safari destination. The company's goal is to assist travelers who want to say thank you in this manner, or who simply wish to expand their generosity beyond their own communities.

The way in which we safari has changed so much over the past twenty years, companies have become more conscious of the environment and the importance of giving back, they are also now able to offer numerous other types of safari. Visitors are no longer limited to guided walking safaris or 4x4 safaris; there are numerous other options to choose from. For example there are luxury hot air balloon safaris; elephant back safaris, primate safaris and horseback safaris. Even the accommodation has changed dramatically on safari; you can now stay in luxury accommodation with a variety of luxury lodges and camp sites to stay in - all with amenities which you would expect to find in a luxury hotel, can be found in the middle of the African bush. Luxury safari holidays today are just that, truly luxurious.
