How To Choose a Safari That's Right for You⁠
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
When you think of a safari, a game lodge probably comes to mind. But this is just the tip of the iceberg—there are SO many different types of safari for every kind of traveler. So, at the link in the bio, I created this guide on how to choose a safari that’s right for you.⁠
⁠
During my time in Africa, I’ve done walking, driving, game lodge, tented, and almost every other type of safari. My website will help you determine what kind of safari adventure you want to have!

Botswana Walking Safari⁠
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
On my first trip to Botswana, I did a guided walking safari. I explored the African bush on foot and camped under the stars. A walking safari is the ultimate adventure, where the only thing between you and the wildlife is your camera!⁠
⁠
Would you consider doing a walking safari?⁠
At the link in my bio, check out my pics and tips for planning a one-of-a-kind safari!

On my road trip through Namibia, I stayed @spitzkoppenlodge_nam, one of the most unique hotels I've ever visited! This lodge is built on and around giant boulders. The all-glass dining space and bar make you feel like you’re on top of the world. You’ll have a private luxury bungalow, and the pool is designed to look like a natural rock pool.⁠

The Best Months for an African Safari⁠
One of the most common questions I’m asked about safari planning is, “What are the best months for an African safari?” The truth is there are no bad times to go on safari because every month has excellent weather for at least a couple of safari destinations.⁠
⁠
Most trip planning starts with a destination, and then you decide when you will visit. But with a safari, you need to do the opposite. Decide when you will be traveling, then check out my month-by-month safari guide to decide where to go on safari.
