Taking a safari for the first time can be a thrilling prospect although for some travellers it can also be a worrying time as they try to choose the location that will give them the best experience. Questions such as what to pack and how to keep safe on the safari adventure will be upmost in their minds.

To make the decision about the best places to visit, travellers need to think about what they want from a safari holiday.

A visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya where it is possible to see the incredible wildlife and be amazed at the magnificent landscapes will be a must for keen photographers, but for those interested in the cultural aspect of the area a visit to see the ancient rock paintings and experience tribal life with all its varied customs and traditions is recommended.

Packing for a safari holiday should be carefully researched as the clothes should be comfortable and cool. Good quality walking shoes are essential along with long trousers and warm clothing for the evenings.

Safety whilst on a safari adventure for the first time is important but by following the advice of the tourist guide and being sensible there should not be a problem.
