What Nobody Tells You Before Booking an African Safari — Until Now
from The Grown-Up Travel Podcast · host Andy Higgs
Most people who go on an African safari have a genuinely good time. They get close to lions. They take great photos. They come home happy.But some of them — if they're honest — sensed that something was slightly off. The convoy of vehicles at every sighting. The feeling of being one of many rather than one of few. The quiet thought, never quite voiced, that maybe there was a version of this that was different.There is. And in this episode I explain what it is, why nobody told you about it at the booking stage, and what to ask before you spend serious money on your next trip.I've been going to Africa for over 30 years. I've been in the main reserves with twenty vehicles around one lion. I've been in private conservancies with no other human in sight for three hours. I know the difference. This episode explains it.Andy Higgs is the Campfire Connoisseur — honest safari expertise, warmly delivered.
