5 Reasons You Should Go To A Safari


5 Reasons You Should Go To A Safari


Get Your Cameras Ready

Most people’s idea of a vacation isn’t to hop on a plane and jump in bed with a pride of lions. But…might we change your mind? Safaris are one of life’s greatest experiences, exposing you to close-ups of wildlife and their habitats! In a proper environment, they’re also much safer than they seem, giving you a memory you’ll never forget. Let’s dive into some of the top reasons to consider hopping in the truck!

1. See Amazing Animals

First and foremost, you’ll get to see all your favorite animals. Monkeys, elephants, and lions mosey around as you get up close, living their best lives in a space far away from poachers. You can snap photos and finally tell your friends you saw a hippo in real life.

2. You’ll Support Conservation

As if seeing beautiful animals wasn’t enough, your fees will likely support conservation, too! Most safari fees go to anti-poaching efforts and habitat protection, ensuring these animals have a real chance at a long life.

3. A Bit of Escape

Just about any vacation allows the chance for escape, but there’s nothing quite like a safari. You’re smack dab in the middle of the action; you’re up close with cheetahs, you’re with like-minded people, and you’re far, far away from city life.

4. Learn Something New

The best safaris actually offer more than a trip among habitats—they offer the chance to learn something. Guides will tell you all about the animals and their environment, which could spark all kinds of new interest in you.

5. Experience Landscapes

It’s not always enough to spend time with animals; sometimes, we want to see firsthand where they live, too! Luckily, a safari brings you right to their doorstep, letting you experience savannahs and deserts alike.
