Good job cameron! Right on!

TIP YOUR GUIDE! As a tour guide myself - thank you for saying this!

[@MoonbeameSmith]

To me the best advice I can give: If you are there for a fair time -I go for a month at a time to camp- it to simply BE THERE. You don't have to take a picture of Everything Everyday. Take time to listen and smell and see things around you. Look at the little things as well as the big things. Lions are cool, but wait until you see a line of Hissing Ants or a chameleon at dusk. Do things. Eat around the fire or just sit there as the sun goes down (there are No sunsets like an African sunset, trust me) Listen to the rain if there is any and do not be afraid to walk a bit in the weather. You may never get another change to.

Great Information to help my family get started planning a safari. Thanks!

I have a great little "pocket" camera that has an 84x zoom on it. It does a heck of a job on long-distance shots (though I usually use a monopod for those because my hands are getting shaky with age).

This video is brilliant! What lodge is this and where is it? Thanks ! X

Excellent advice and thumbs up from a.n.other safari addict.Can we think of supporting some of the unseen on rhe ground conservation and anti poaching activity. It was Ruaha and Selous for me in 2019...hopefully back to those terrific Luangwa and Kafue experiences and environments one day....🐘🦓.Yes those early starts and sundowners and keeping quiet when we finally bump into the wild dog....or roan,...while out walking of course.Best wishes ,cheers and a G&T from Manchester,UK

Man, my binoculars and camera gear would take up over 1/3rd of my allowed weight limit. Not sure how to pack around that well. Curious what size/type of duffel bags you used?

[@carolyncoe131]

Question.. Do you just tip your Guide at the end of the safari or every day?

[@liliaflores6559]

Can you share the information detail where did you stay, information about those people and a guide. ? I am planning to go next year and I research a lot about safaris, stays, etc

[@joycez4327]

Hi! Is it better to book a lodge that includes game drives or book a safari with a tour company that includes everything? Confused about that.

[@travelcrab]

should we opt for USD 300 per day safari accommodation all included or go for budget like USD100 -120 YOUR suggestion

[@donnaseaman9385]

Do you tip at the end of your trip or daily?

[@walterrussell7584]

How much was it

[@marthaparthemos4349]

I see you sometimes are wearing black. What about tsetse flies being attracted to black? We were told not to wear black. Yes? (Going to Kenya and Tanzania in Feb.)
