PRACTICAL & PROVEN
The questions you should ask
When to go. What to pack. What flying between camps actually involves. Visa rules, malaria realities, packing weights. Useful answers, written without the marketing voice.
Read these before you book anything
HOW WE THINK ABOUT THESE
We answer the question, then the next one
Most safari planning advice online is written to rank on Google. It hedges. It never tells you what is actually true. We write the opposite. If a region is worse in March, we say so. If a lodge is overpriced for what it offers, we say so. If a transfer route is bumpy and four hours long, we put that in the first paragraph.
Some of these are short answers, the kind you read on your phone in a queue. Others are longer because the question deserves it. Cost. Season. Comparison. Logistics. Health. The pieces that turn a vague idea into a confirmed booking.
