all safaris are not equal
other companies will tell you every destination is greaT
With 30 years in the safari game, I can tell you unequivocally - not all safaris are equal.
Across the safari regions there are huge differences in terms of what you see, how you see it, the quality of the guides, types of safari vehicles, activities on offer, crowding, insects, weather, safety and health concerns, red tape, luggage allowances, etc...
“Ian, you are total no BS pro.”
