Anyone considering or planning an African safari will be faced with a number of difficult choices.
Questions that must be answered include:

• Costs - for most this will be the major consideration (except for a lucky few!)
• Destination - where do you most want to go on safari?
• Duration - how much time do you have?
• Time of year - rain and wind can wreck your safari
• Getting there - what's involved?
• Once there - self-drive or join a tour group?
• What to take - travel light or dress for dinner?

The list is by no means exhaustive. Other questions will arise (can we take the children?), while for some the answers will be more clear-cut.
For some people, it's particular birds - or the desert scenery of the Kalahari - that appeals.
The choices - in destination, type of accommodation, and costs - for an African safari are enormous, so the more you can limit the variables, the easier it will be to make a decision.

Some of the important factors you need to consider are like:
