Craft Your Dream Safari with One More Adventure Safaris

Are you dreaming of the wild plains of Africa? Imagining yourself trekking through lush forests, watching majestic wildlife roam freely, or soaking in vibrant cultures? If Africa is calling, you’re not alone. At One More Adventure Safaris, we’re here to guide you every step of the way so you can plan a wonderful, worry-free African adventure—tailored perfectly to your interests.

Whether you’re looking at Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, DR Congo, or even South Sudan, these expert tips will help you start planning the journey of a lifetime—with no stone left unturned.

  1. Start with Self-Discovery

Everything begins with you. Before reaching out to any travel company, take a moment to sit down and write out your dream safari. What are the things your heart longs to see? Is it gorilla trekking, cultural village visits, witnessing the Big Five, hike the Rwenzori Mountain, over take the waves on the Nile, enjoy a bush breakfast and sundowner experience or a relaxing boat ride on Lake Kivu?
At this stage, don’t worry about feasibility—list it all down. Your dreams come first. We’ll help you organize and fine-tune it later.

  1. Do a Little Research

Once you’ve listed your dream activities, it’s time to do some digging. Explore which destinations offer your top adventures. For example, gorilla trekking is best done in Uganda, Rwanda, or DR Congo, while game drives are iconic in Kenya and Tanzania.
This step helps you narrow down your options, focus your itinerary, and understand the best locations for your chosen experiences. You can also seek recommendations from friends or family who’ve traveled to Africa.

  1. Choose Your Travel Time & Duration

Africa is vast and magical. It deserves time. Think about when you want to travel and how long you can stay. A trip to Africa involves long-haul flights and often cross-country travel. We recommend a minimum of 10–14 days to get the most out of your experience. Planning ahead also helps in securing permits, especially for activities like gorilla trekking.

  1. Involve Your Travel Companions

Are you traveling with your partner, family, or friends? Get them involved in the planning process. Their interests and preferences matter, especially when it comes to budgeting, activity choices, and travel style. Planning together ensures a smooth and joyful group experience.

  1. Budget Honestly & Wisely

African safaris are often once-in-a-lifetime experiences—and yes, they can be expensive. Before reaching out to travel companies, have a realistic budget range in mind. This helps avoid disappointment and saves time on both sides. Remember, you’re not just paying for a tour; you’re investing in memories, comfort, and an adventure crafted with care.

  1. Get Ready to Travel

As your departure approaches, confirm all essentials—visas, vaccinations, packing lists, and flight tickets. Once you arrive, meet your guide with a smile and positive energy.
Build rapport early, open up, and let your guide know your expectations. They are your companion for the journey and are deeply invested in making your safari unforgettable. Relax, be present, and embrace the moment.

  1. Reflect & Appreciate

After the dust has settled and you’re back home, take a moment to reflect. Planning a safari can be tiring, but the experience is life-changing. If your tour operator made it special, leave a review. Honest feedback not only helps the company grow, but also helps other travelers make informed choices.
