Safari holidays

Safari holidays are an increasingly popular holiday activity. There is a lot to be learnt from watching wild animals in their natural habitat. Popular safari areas include Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia. The types of safari vary, from small tented camps that are seasonal and removed during the rainy seasons, to large permanent structures with over 100 rooms. The game-viewing can be done on foot, horseback, in vehicles or indeed by elephant back or boat, depending on the type of terrain and the animals being viewed.

The goal of safari is to see the Big Five, a term that has been borrowed from the days of hunting and refers to: Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Lion and Rhino.
