Here are six reasons to book your safari trip before COVID

Here's the 1 thing you need to know about safaris during COVID

You should consider going on a Safari during COVID-19 because Safaris are built for social distancing.

Traveling during COVID is not always an option. Safari trips by definition offer a type of social distancing that may be essential for your mental health - open-air adventures with plenty of space.

Travel consultants are taking more on private vacation planning, rather than organizing large groups for luxury safari trips. Happy customers note that interest in these more intimate experiences has only grown.

This year, for the first time, many safaris will be expanding or updating their campgrounds to prepare for the influx of COVID 19 visitors.

2. Remote work is a possibility with the advent of wifi

Luckily for travelers attending COVID 19, most luxury safari resorts have Wi-Fi, allowing them to disconnect from the outside world.

During COVID 19, a lot of business travelers will be traveling during the U.S. summer. However, for those of you fortunate enough to do so remotely, there is a great opportunity to make some really unique connections with locals and even turn your mobile office into a pseudo safari viewing deck while catching up on emails.

3. How traveling during COVID 19 supports families in rural communities

Travel is the world's largest industry, employing one out of every 10 people. Travel is a luxury and a privilege for travelers, but it is a source of income for hotel-workers in hotels, lodges, and mobile camps; cooks; meeting room attendants; drivers; kiosk operators; security guards, maintenance workers—everyone from housekeepers to general managers.

One of the most important reasons you should go on Safari during COVID-19 is that travel generates cash for governments, allowing them to invest in infrastructures such as roads, airlines, shipping routes, water supply, and waste disposal. This investment immediately benefits the local community.
