What drives you while planning for safaris?
What convinces you to hit the road and pay a visit to the wildlife in the wild?

Karen Blixen
What is a safari?
When the word “Safari” is mentioned, Africa and its wildlife pops into our minds. This is because Safari is used to describe the journey to Africa’s conservation areas.
The journey includes hiking, photography, rock climbing, camping, trekking, expeditions ,and also sort of awesome crazy stuff we are able to do in the jungles.
In short, safari is a visit we pay wildlife and indigenous communities.
