Classic Tours of Africa

If you are looking for an exciting vacation tour, consider
visiting the savanna areas of Africa to view the African
animals in all of their natural splendor. You have seen
the lions on the plains of Africa, along with the antelope,
giraffes, elephants and zebras, on numerous television
shows. Trips of a lifetime are readily available to the
American tourist to these magnificent areas for wildlife
viewing that is unequalled anywhere else in the world.
Experienced tour guides make certain that their guests
remain safe at all times while viewing wild game up close
from four-wheel drive safari vehicles.
Accommodations in these remote parts of Africa are quite
modern and delightful. Since the temperature is warm the
entire year, the lodgings have an air of freedom about them
that those of us in North America seldom feel. Open air
dining and lounging areas abound. It is not unusual on
these tours to be able to sit on a lovely veranda and,
while sipping afternoon cool beverages, to be able to watch
the nearby classic African animals graze and wander at
will. Depending on the lodge, you may spend the night
sleeping under a classic white netting canopy.
What~s a safari without some adventure? If you~re very
adventuresome, consider a tenting safari. These classic and
elegant tours are carefully orchestrated so the tourist can
experience comfortable, safe and luxurious camp while
co-existing along side the spirit of Africa. These camps
often have permanent structures. The tent may have flooring
that~s wooden or concrete and include a private bathroom
with shower. Many of the dining structures are also
permanent structures. As for dining, breakfast and supper
is ~formal~ while lunch is ~informal~. The experienced camp
staff is able to cater to a tourist~s every need; therefore,
as many Americans are led to believe, tent safaris are not
that primitive. Another plus to an African safari tour is
the daylight hours are at their maximum along the equator,
going from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tourism is a major source of revenue for African countries
such as Kenya and Tanzania. There are a number of
reputable tour operators in the region that partner with
American tour companies to provide a quality experience for
tourists from the United States. Tour guides speak
excellent English and the staff at the major tourist sites
and hotels speaks fluent English as well. Tour guides
begin their service with "meet and greet" at the airport
and provide full service to the departure gate at the end
of the tour.
Think seriously about seeing the wondrous African savanna.
These tours aren~t as expensive as you may think ~ the
10-day tour on average costs around $3000 per person, not
including airfare. Chances are good that once you~ve been
there, you~ll leave a bit of your heart behind in this
wonderful place that is unlike any other in the world, as I
did.
