African safari - Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania or Zambia
50 Things to do before you die
African Safari Tips
If you're on a guided tour, your chances of encountering problems are minimal. If you're travelling alone, keep up-to-date with local news so you know about potential "hot spots".
Get a local perspective - ask someone where you're staying to give you a run-down on any unsafe areas, and codes of dress and behaviours.
All reserves have a set of rules that you need to follow to ensure your safety. Many of the animals you'll come across are dangerous. Stay in your car and keep a reasonable distance. However, if you plan on doing any walking, take along boots, socks and long trousers as a precautionary measure.
Pack comfortable walking shoes and khaki, brown or beige casual clothes. Long-sleeved shirts and trousers will help protect you against the sun and insect bites.
