First time safari goers, are keen to see wildlife, countries such as Kenya, Tanzania & Botswana are often recommended.
- Seasoned Africa or India-phile seeking the out-of-the-ordinary
For those seeking the far flung spots such as Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, Gabon & Kafue in Zambia.
- Intrepid traveller - like to camp and have some adventure with some creature comforts such as beds, a cook
Like to camp, are adventurous, have a sense of humour and enjoy the mystery of travel and what unfolds.
Africa suits single travellers and it can be a great way to meet people especially in the smaller camps. A disadvantage is that there are single supplement surcharges.
Africa & India are honeymooner's paradises. Romantic is an understatement and there are many stunning properties to choose from.
Not all camps accept children under 12, yet there are safaris which are perfect for families with kids of all age groups.
- Older generation - retirees
Travelling through India and Africa is easy and most camps cater for all age groups. Certain safaris aren't ideal for some of the older generation due to the condition of the roads and so forth.
- Small group of friends/family
Safaris tailored to small groups can be some of the best holidays anyone can ever have and can be more cost effective when conducted as a small group, especially the mobile camping safaris in East and Southern Africa. Due to their nature and required infrastructures, travelling as a group of 8 - 10 can be far more cost effective than travelling as a couple or smaller party.
- Prefer travelling in escorted group departures
These trips are escorted by specialist tour leaders from the start to finish. They generally have a theme such as Susie McGregor's Moroccan and Indian Landscape trips, Chris Manfield's Spice Tours and The Shoebill Safari in search of the elusive Shoebill Stork.
