BootsnAll Travel Community

Hey, I'm looking to read up on African safaris. Any good blogs out there (especially one's that are kept up-to-date)?

Thanks!

BootsnAll's very own Mt. Kilimanjaro Blog is updated several times per week and includes info on Safari's. Donovan helps folks get up the mountain and/or go on safari and updates that blog.

Peter updates the South Africa Blog/Guide as well and has stuff on Safari's.

Hope this helps!

Not sure what you are looking for; but you can look at our blog where we talk about our amazing safari in February.

I'm just looking for general and up-to-date information. I'm looking into a safari trip and am currently saving up the cash. A lot of times you can find some great tips and advice by reading travel blogs. Thanks for the help. I'm open to any more good blogs too (and any suggestions).

Although not up to date, this couple did an amazing trip with multiple safaris and are great inspiration. www.fullpassport.com

We will be writing a blog and will try and keep it up to date with useful information at 80weeks.blogspot.com. We leave in 9 days!!

Here are some recent posts on BnA Travel blogs that list "safari" as a tag:

Whenever I am looking for random stuff like that, I'll use the tags to see if I can find something relevant.

Hi

I can only share my experience with the safari I took. Here is the trip report with pictures http://gardkarlsen.com/djuma_vuyatela_safari.htm

Here are the blogs the two I've been using to do my safari planning, the first one even has nitty gritty details on packing:

Cecilia has great links on the left, and some fantastic travel tips for each continent http://www.xs4all.nl/~cile/

These two have the budget I wish I had, lol... mind you they travelled for ages

And this last one might help you with a general budget, just have to convert from pounds sterling after:

Some of these are great. Thanks!

Feel free to check out my blog. I review some lodges and parks for when I was in Tanzania.
