Yes, everyone <em>does <\/em>wear khaki&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one stereotype that holds true: there is <em>a lot<\/em> of khaki on safari, and for good reason. Khaki, and other muted shades of green, brown and beige, help you blend into the natural environment. The less you stand out, the less chance you have of spooking the wildlife (or catching their attention). If you can, leave the bright colours and bold patterns at home (or your lodge accommodation) and keep to neutral tones where possible. Be sure to include closed-toe shoes on your packing list, as well as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and breathable clothing. If you are travelling to an area with tsetse flies (anywhere south of the Sahara Desert), avoid wearing black and dark blues while on game drives or at your lodge. The flies are attracted to these shades and have a nasty sting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_8c20eb2c45468f6394edc0dd80e09e15\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Premium 8-Day Tanzania Private Safari with All-Inclusive Wellworth Lodge Stays &#038;

You\u2019ll start early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The early bird\u2026 gets the best safari encounters. Morning game drives tend to depart between 5.30am and 6.30am, so early alarms are a necessary evil on your African safari. Some lodges offer wake-up calls, plus pre-departure tea, coffee and snacks, to help make getting out of bed easier. That said, the reward of heading out early is always worth it \u2013 the wildlife are at their most active around and just after sunrise. You might see giraffes waking up for their breakfast, lions finding a spot to doze, and all myriad of creatures in between. Plus, if you\u2019re travelling in summer, the cooler morning temperatures are much more pleasant (for you and wild predators, who tend not to hunt during the day). The hazy light of a new morning in the African bush is beautiful, as a stunning blue-purple light casts across the landscape, making for truly spectacular photographs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The mornings and nights can be cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget the stereotype of a scorching hot savannah. Temperatures in parts of Africa can drop during the cooler months, especially once the sun sets. Some lodges kit their safari vehicles out with warm blankets and even hot water bottles, but it is still worth packing a thick jumper, beanie and jacket if you are visiting in late autumn, winter or early spring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_149adbcad8bc72e5613b972dbab10b8d\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide

Game reserves aren\u2019t the same as national parks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you choose to experience your first safari on a private game reserve or a national park is a personal preference, however both options offer slightly different experiences. National parks are government-owned and managed and tend to be larger and busier than a private game reserve. National parks, such as Kruger National Park in South Africa or Chobe National Park in Botswana, have set open and closing time, and permit either self-drive safaris or guided trips. As national parks are open to the public and there is no limit on vehicles, animal sightings can become competitive; vehicles may overcrowd certain areas or converge on sightings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_0e5e13d647bb03699a1e306a8e738e62\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Deluxe 13-Day Kenya &#038;

Private game reserves can enforce caps on the number of safari vehicles out at any one time and can set rules about what a safari vehicle can and cannot do. For example, some reserves forbid vehicles from going off-road in pursuit of getting closer to the Big 5 (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos). It\u2019s important to remember that private game reserves <em>are not<\/em> zoos, however. Wildlife on the reserve move as they please, so there is never a guarantee of seeing your favourite animal. Reserve management may also choose not to provide veterinary assistance unless an animal is injured due to human interference. This is done to maintain as natural as life for the reserve\u2019s wildlife as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The animals get closer than you think<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search\/tours?destinationId=le_b02e6098244d867ef9e033afaf097d81&amp;destinationName=Africa\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Safari-Elephant-Game-Drive.png\" alt=\"Elephants get up close to a safari vehicle on a game drive - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-25239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Safari-Elephant-Game-Drive.png 790w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Safari-Elephant-Game-Drive-350x232.png 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Safari-Elephant-Game-Drive-768x508.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about investing in a good (and possibly expensive) pair of binoculars for your Africa safari? You may not need them! While it is impossible to predict the kind of encounters you will have on safari, chances are you won\u2019t need a set of binoculars to see wildlife up-close. Wildlife on private game reserves in particular are used to the safari vehicles and often don\u2019t give the cars a second look, strolling by only a few metres away. Just remember to follow the rules: no standing up, and keep your legs and arms inside at all times. Guides and rangers will move the vehicle as needed to maintain a safe distance and use their discretion when it\u2019s time to give wildlife their space.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. There is a lot of waiting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Guided game drives last between three or four hours depending if you\u2019re in a national park or staying on a private reserve, and much of that time can be spent looking, and waiting, for wildlife. Even with all their skill, guides and trackers can never guarantee where animals will be \u2013 but finding them is all part of the fun. A safari means not knowing what could be around the corner, lounging by the watering hole, or just behind the treeline. Pack your patience and you\u2019ll be rewarded with thrills and excitement, even before you\u2019ve&nbsp;seen your first four- or two-legged critter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_240658d2f8e56c10c6315306d3bc5fc3\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide lux_dealcard_gallery\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Ultra Lux 8-Day Zambia &#038;

Your guides and trackers are just as important as the wildlife<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The knowledge of your safari guides and trackers is astounding, and you\u2019ll learn more about the landscape and wildlife than from any National Geographic documentary. Guides and trackers don\u2019t use modern GPS systems, instead relying on skills honed over years \u2013 many have grown up in or around the areas they now work in. They can tell what direction wildlife went and how recently all from a scuff or hoof mark on a track. Ask as many questions as you can; no question is too small or too silly. They can tell how far away a lion is just by its roar, or if there is a leopard in the area through the scent in the air (seriously). Engaging with your guides and trackers, and building rapport with them, is just as rewarding as your wildlife encounters!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI
