A safari is a perfect way to get away from the hustle and bustle of your busy life. Whether you’re considering a vacation, a honeymoon, a romantic getaway or simply a weekend out to relax, you’ll never go wrong with a safari.

Safari lodges offer more than just a safari. They give you the opportunity to indulge in nature and just spend your time exploring, sightseeing, camping in the wild, or just doing anything else you’d love to free your mind from the stresses of daily life.
Whichever reason you’re planning for a safari, you need to find the perfect destination. With many safari lodges to choose from, there are factors you should consider to help you pick the right lodge for your unique needs and preferences. Here are the things to look out for in a safari lodge:

Top 5 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Safari Lodge

1.            Safari

Does the safari lodge offer safaris? A critical part of booking your getaway with a safari lodge is to go on a safari. This is basically a game drive in a national reserve or game park to view the big five animals, including the elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and giraffe, among other wildlife. A good safari lodge should offer an exceptional bush experience and viewing of wild animals.

2.            Appearance of the Lodge

A good lodge is designed in a style that matches or blends with yours. Do you like the decorations and design style of the lodge? Are there fresh flowers on display? Find photos of lodges online and go through them to find what is most appealing to you.

3.            Wildlife Conservation

Does the safari lodge have a conservation policy? Is it listed on their website? Is off-road driving allowed or disallowed? Read a lodge’s policy to determine whether it goes well with your expectation. Is there something the lodge forbids, but is important to you? Choose a safari lodge with a conservation policy that matches your policy.

4.            Cost

Choose a safari lodge that offers packages you can afford. Look for packages that offer value for your money. Do you want a fully-catered or self-catering safari? Can you afford luxury packages or prefer one with simple services?
What amenities are available at the lodge? Also consider the time of the year you’d like to go for a safari. Off-peak seasons are more cost-effective than high seasons when everyone is trying to book space in a lodge. If you’re on a tight budget, consider a safari during low seasons. Booking early can also help reduce your costs.

5.            Why are You Going on a Safari?
