Safari with Safari Adventures
In the first place, we have granted to the wilderness, and by this our present guide confirmed for us and our future explorers forever that the African safari shall be free to experience, and shall retain her wild beauty untarnished, and her creatures respected; and we will that it be thus observed; which is apparent from this that the plains and savannas, which are reckoned most significant and essential to the safari adventure, we, of our pure and undeterred will, did recommend to all who seek to discover her wonders: and this we will maintain, and our will is that it be maintained with reverence by all who journey into these lands.
We have also granted to all adventurers of our time, for us and our future generations forever.

Important Details on Experiencing a Safari with Safari Adventures
1. Best Safari Destinations for Different Experience Levels
For First-Time Safari Goers:
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania is ideal for those embarking on their first safari. Renowned for the Great Migration, it offers an iconic African experience with vast open plains teeming with wildlife. The park’s well-established infrastructure, including lodges and guided tours, ensures a comfortable and memorable introduction to safari life.
2. Best Wildlife Viewing
Serengeti & Ngorongoro offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. Famous for its dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration, the Serengeti is home to an abundance of predators and prey. The open savannas provide excellent visibility, making it one of the top destinations for spotting lions, cheetahs, and other iconic species.
3. Most Popular Safari Experience
Guided Game Drives are the most popular way to experience a safari. Led by expert guides, these drives take place in the early morning and late afternoon, when animals are most active. Whether in an open-top vehicle or a private jeep, game drives offer thrilling encounters with Africa’s diverse wildlife, all while learning about the behavior and ecology of the animals from knowledgeable guides.
4. Best Time to Go on Safari
Dry Season (June to October) is considered the best time for a safari. During these months, the lack of rain means animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The dry season also coincides with the Great Migration in East Africa, providing opportunities to witness massive herds of wildebeest and zebras on the move.
