Serengeti, Tanzania - African Travel

African Safari, Tanzania

While many of us are dreaming of traveling, now is the best time to actually plan your vacation. Africa is a top bucket list destination for this year and next, and those that plan now for a future African safari will be rewarded with an ultimate, life-changing experience.

To help you plan a dream safari, we recommend working with an expert travel advisor. Here are a few tips to consider as you begin your planning process.

1. Stay at Safari Camps that Offer Flexibility

In this changing landscape, it is important to stay at camps and lodges that understand our dynamic environment and offer flexibility should you need to change your reservation. As your trusted Virtuoso travel advisor, we can guide you to 5-star experiences that offer no change fees.

2. Understand Safety and Wellness Policies

We work with our travel partners to ensure safety and wellness policies are in place at all camps and lodges, as well as understanding the latest travel protocols and any travel restrictions. We create safari experiences that deliver excellent health and safety protocols and five-star service.

3. Choose Private Reserves and Open Spaces

Africa’s wide-open spaces await. To ensure the most intimate experience we recommend staying at lodges and camps in private reserves and conservancies. You’ll enjoy more flexibility with private game drives and a limited number of guests.

For those looking to travel in the next six months, East Africa is a great option to see Africa without crowds. We recommend visiting different areas while on safari to experience Africa’s contrasting landscape and wildlife.

4. Don’t Wait! Book a Bucket Experience Now

Destinations such as South Africa, Botswana and Egypt are in demand for later this year and next. We recommend securing exclusive savings and experiences now because space is limited for future travel.

5. Protect Your Investment

With an investment like a safari, travel insurance is a must. Opting for a “cancel for any reason” policy offers flexibility, peace of mind, and benefits like cash back and future travel certificates. We can help guide you in selecting the best coverage for your particular needs and travel adventure.
