Prepare for Takeoff

Leaving the phone and iPad behind are great ways to focus on your trip and disconnect for a little while. If the thought of not being connected is scary to you, there are a few things you can do to ease your mind. Consider asking a close friend to check your voicemail in case there is anything important that needs to be dealt with in your absence. You could also sign up for identity theft protection services, like Lifelock, so you can breathe a little easier knowing your assets are secure during your time away in Africa. Identity theft protection is ideal for anyone traveling and using credit cards and providing personal information. This service will act as a shield to your information and monitor any activity.

It’s a Cultural Experience

Every country in Africa has its own special mix of languages and people that make up a unique cultural experience. From the San Bushmen that live in the Kalahari to the Samburu in Northern Kenya, there are many different tribes that offer a myriad of different foods, languages, and traditions in their culture that add unique flair to your African vacation – no matter what country you visit.

Get Wild on an African Safari

Discover native animals in their natural habitat on an African safari. These popular excursions provide adventure seekers the opportunity of a lifetime to see the most dangerous hunted wild animals such as the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, elephant…and more. Ernest Hemingway frequented safaris for hunting big game as well as first-hand adventures for his writing. Who knows? You may find yourself inspired to jot down your travels as well.

It is home to some of the most scenic destinations and wonderful places to visit including the breathtaking Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, the distinct grasslands of the plains of the Serengeti, Cape Town, one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and world renowned Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to name a few.
