FAQ

The best time for a safari?
In East Africa (Tanzania and Kenya), you can travel year-round, except for the heavy rains of April and May. Light rains are more frequent in November and December, but generally do not cause any problems. The best season (dry season) is approximately June to October, with peaks in July and August. The situation is different for countries in Southern Africa, where the heavy rains last much longer (from November to April).

4×4 vehicles adapted for safaris. 

It's difficult to give a definitive answer; a safari is certainly not a budget vacation. Costs depend on several factors, including the type and location of accommodations, trip length, number of people, and the time of year. To simplify, we can classify accommodations into three categories:
– Tented camps or luxury lodges, starting from €700.00 and up to over €1,000.00 per person per day.
– Mid-range tented camps or lodges, starting from €400.00–€600.00 per person per day.
– Tent accommodations, approximately €250.00 per person per day.
It should be noted that these prices are indicative and include all meals and overnight stays, transportation, a guide, park entrance fees (very expensive, especially in some areas), and, if applicable, a domestic flight.

Considering the number of accidents and the number of tourists who choose safaris every year, definitely not! However, it's important to remember that animals are wild and unpredictable; although they may appear tame in some parks, they are NOT. Don't be fooled by their relaxed attitude and proximity to vehicles; they're simply accustomed. This is why it's essential to contact qualified, experienced professionals who can recognize animal behavior and avoid potentially dangerous situations.

This depends on the destination, but in general, I consider vaccinations against tetanus, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and cholera to be helpful. Malaria prophylaxis deserves a separate mention, as it is recommended in several countries, especially during the rainy season and in countries where it is endemic. My advice, however, is ALWAYS to consult qualified medical personnel specializing in international vaccinations at your local health authority.

Absolutely! Many lodges and tented camps offer family or connecting rooms/tents, perfect for families with children. Combining a photography safari with a beach holiday (for example, Tanzania and Zanzibar) is a perfect option for a trip with children. For safety reasons, however, some camps require a minimum age, usually 6 years old. Always specify the ages of all participants and make sure there are no restrictions.

Which
Your walk today takes you along the east side of Loch Lomond, clinging to the water's edge along much of the way. This is a lovely, low level and relaxed stage as it meanders past pebbly beaches and giving you plenty of time to take in the surrounding scenery and wildlife. Cycling for the day: 53km Accommodation: Hotel Lion d'Or or similar Optional hotel upgrade: Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg in Santpoort-Noord (includes dinner)
How much does it cost?
From Rowardennan, the path heads into thick woodland. There are two options here: the easier being the wide forest track which follows the contours up and down the hill; or the more time consuming, narrow path which skirts over rocks and exposed tree roots along the banks of the loch. The rocky and uneven path continues along the loch, hugging the water's edge amidst ancient oak forest. The loch becomes noticeably narrower as the path approaches Inverarnan. Cycling for the day: 38km Accommodation: Tulip-Inn Leiden Centre, Golden Tulip Leiden Centre, Fletcher Wellness Hotel or similar
is it dangerous?
Soon after leaving Inverarnan, the path runs alongside the picturesque, fast-flowing River Falloch before a long stretch on an old military road. The route here closely follows the West Highland Line railway and eventually passes underneath the tracks as the path nears a coniferous forest. The route continues through the forest along a winding, undulating path, eventually crossing the road and River Fillin. Views of the surrounding mountains are wonderful. A well-maintained path follows the River Cononish before reaching Tyndrum. Cycling for the day: 63km Accommodation: Westcord Fashion Hotel or similar Optional hotel upgrade: Westcord Art
