Safari planning Tips
- Plan migration-viewing with mindful operators.
- Consider visiting during shoulder seasons to avoid peak crowds.
- Support lodges/tours with strong sustainability credentials.
Safariweekly Take
Viewing traffic needs to become more regulated; certain areas might be restricted or managed to reduce impact. Possibly more cost for ethical/sustainable safari experiences.
