African Safari Travel Tips

Planning an African adventure? Our travel tips and Africa travel advice will help you prepare for an unforgettable journey across some of the continent’s most incredible destinations. From Uganda and Rwanda to Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and beyond, Africa offers amazing wildlife, diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable safari experiences.

Before your trip, research the destinations you plan to visit and choose the best time to travel. Whether you want to experience Uganda gorilla trekking, Rwanda’s mountain gorillas, Kenya’s Great Migration, Tanzania’s Serengeti wildlife, or the beautiful landscapes of Burundi, good planning can make your safari more enjoyable.

One of the most important travel tips is to book popular activities early. Gorilla permits, chimpanzee trekking permits, selected lodges and popular safari experiences can sell out, especially during peak travel seasons.

Pack comfortable and lightweight clothing, sturdy walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, binoculars and a waterproof jacket. For gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, comfortable hiking clothing and suitable footwear are particularly important.

Travel times between African destinations can vary considerably, so allow enough time for road journeys, domestic flights and border crossings when planning a multi-country safari.

Respect local communities, wildlife, cultures and conservation areas throughout your journey. Choosing responsible safari operators and locally owned businesses can also help support conservation and communities.
