We were so surprised to see how different each park and eco system was, each place we were taken to was so unique. Our friendly Compass guide had so much information and was so helpful,
Compass Safari run highly enjoyable and informative safari tours of Africa, enabling you to witness some of the greatest natural scenery and wildlife the world has to offer in comfort and style.
You need to be as aware of your personal safety as you would be at home, so do not carry vast sums of cash around with you, keep your passport and travel documents hidden, do not walk alone at night and ask accommodation management to look after them for you if appropriate. If paying for goods by credit card, you may need to pay a surcharge of up to 5%. You may need to take more than one brand of card with you as not all kinds are accepted everywhere. Use Wi-Fi as much as you can if you need to access the internet as roaming charges can be exorbitant. A growing number of lodges and hotels are offering free Wi-Fi in Africa.
It’s vital that you keep yourself hydrated whilst on safari, and you should carry a bottle of water with you at all times. Though you won’t usually be expected to tip when at lodges, hotels and restaurants, it is common to do so. Remember, what you may deem to be a modest amount can be regarded as extremely generous to local staff and tips are always likely to be met with vast gratitude.
