African Safari Planning – It’s done a year in Advance


By Charles L Harmon

 

I will be going on my first African Safari next year, almost exactly one year from today. To me it seems strange it has to be planned so far in advance.

Oct 23, 2011

Well that was three years ago and things are still pretty much the same. As you probably all know by now since it has been all over the TV and many of you have experienced it firsthand – that airplane fares have gone up. But worse than that the ridiculous fees that are now being charged for baggage are sky high.

Now imagine African Safari planning a year in advance. How would anyone know so far in advance that fares and baggage fees would be so much higher? Air fares change quite often, sometimes daily, but baggage fees – well that’s another story. They never did, that is until now, jump so much so fast.

Risky Crossing

Anyway this is to say that you should not be surprised if there is some difference in what you are quoted vs, what the actual cost might be since there are several unknowns booking any trip, or tour to Africa or any other far away place so far in advance. Unfortunately for safaris one needs to do just that, book well in advance of the actual safari date.

 

Apparently it takes a lot of planning and it has already started. The safari I will be going on is being arranged by Kay Trotman of Destined to Travel and Safari Kay.

Already I have to renew my passport which does not expire until next September 2008, but the Kenya government requires your passport to be valid for at least six months after your visit there. There are other travel restrictions from some other countries too. In addition I need to get a series of shots and some Malaria tablets.

This safari will be a custom arranged African safari arranged just for our small group of friends and relatives. It will be the second African safari that Kay will be arranging and going on early in 2008. For the other, if it’s not too late to get in see her Dream African safari.

If you are interested in an African Safari contact Kay at her travel site contact page and get more information.

Note: It usually takes about a year in advance for African Safari planning so if you do want to take the ultimate adventure you cannot wait until the last minute.

    Upon going through my notes I see I mentioned the wrong country when referring to passports. Below is what I meant to write.

    U.S. citizens with valid passports may obtain a visa either
    before arriving in Tanzania or at any port of entry staffed by
    immigration officials. U.S. passports should be valid for a minimum of six months beyond the date the visa is obtained, whether it is acquired beforehand or at the port of entry. Also, foreigners are required to show their passports when entering or exiting Zanzibar.
