Acacia Africa – Safari- Serengeti.
Once again Acacia provided a sense of well-being and a high
level of security.
Ensure that you have a local supplement
ready to pay in post 2006 $US. The
supplement at the time of our tour was $US 400 per person.
It is recommended that you attempt to book your safari to
coincide with the great migration of wildebeest and zebra.
Considerable distance is travelled and many hours are spent
in the vehicle getting to key areas. These
many hours of travel are interspersed
with short burst of excitement.
Recommend that you partake in an early morning sojourn to catch a kill or watch the main predators stalk their pray. Unfortunately, most of the big 5 (Elephant, Lion, Water Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino) were comatose on our Safari.
Accommodation included 2 nights in Safari Tent. Provided great photo opportunities with
Giraffes roaming through the site; however, DO NOT leave your camp tent at
night!
The best way to beat the mundane nature of driving for hours
to try a catch a glimpse of a Leopard up a tree is to fall asleep in the 4WD
whilst in motion and wake up when the it stops. The 4WD only stops if there is something to
look at.
It may be better to look at a place where
the Big 5 are concentrated over a smaller area, for example Kenya.
Overall, for us non-fussed animal people the safari was struggle.
