If you’re thinking of coming to Southern Africa on safari, there are a few things you should probably know before you book your tickets…

 

Reason #1 The seasons are back to front – I mean, this is supposed to be winter!

 

 

Reason #2 All the trees are dead – there’s nothing to look at.

 

 

Reason #3 Everyone’s gloomy all the time.

 

 

Reason #4 They don’t make anything for themselves.

 

 

Reason #5 All they want is a hand out.

 

 

Reason #6 Some of the animals are really dangerous.

 

 

Reason #7 So maybe it’s a good thing that you can’t get close to them…

 

Reason #8 And that they all just want to run away.

 

Reason #9 Which means you need a really big camera to get good pictures.

 

 

Reason #10 The TV only has one channel.

 

 

Reason #11 And the music is terrible.

 

 

Reason #12 You can’t get any kind of connection.

 

 

Reason #13 Or decent reception.

 

 

Reason #14 Things look really backwards.

 

 

Reason #15 Don’t mention the medical facilities.

 

 

Reason #16 It’s a fashion disaster zone.

 

 

Reason #17 Don’t even mention the food.

 

 

Reason #18 And you have to wait until it gets dark before you’re allowed a drink.

 

 

Reason #19 Africa? It’s just one big conflict zone.

 

 

Reason #20 It’s all about black and white.

 

 

Reason #21 You need tons of paperwork.

 

 

Reason #22 And about a hundred shots.

 

 

Reason #23 All in all, it’s a bit of a dive.

 

 

Of course, we’re joking. Southern Africa is awesome! If the pictures above have inspired you to come and experience everything that a safari holiday involves, then please contact us!
