Happy New Year!
Booking a holiday is literally one of the most exciting things to do. Knowing that you are going abroad and are going to have a week or two of sheer bliss provides you with something to look forward to and makes you feel happy. And that’s without even mentioning the fun and memorable experience you will have once you are away.
However, the only difficult part regarding holidays is deciding where to go and what to choose. With so many countries and different holiday types available you can be forgiven for finding the final decision a hard one.
Nevertheless, one of the most popular types of holidays are safari holidays, and they are something which very few people tend not to enjoy. Therefore, if you are having trouble deciding then why not consider a safari. You could even combine it with another holiday; spend one week in luxury apartments, then head to the likes of South Africa for an adventure.
There are so many reasons as to why South African safaris have become so popular. First and foremost, they are a holiday which can be enjoy by all. There is no age restriction and you can travel alone or book one of many available family safari holidays, the choice is literally yours. If you do choose to go by yourself, then you are guaranteed to meet some fabulous people whilst in South Africa.
In addition to this, the most obvious reason why people choose to go on a safari holiday is to see all the wildlife on display. Seeing animals in their natural habitat is something extremely special and precious to behold and there is no way you will get another experience which comes close. You may be able to see a lion or a giraffe in a zoo, but seeing them in their own environment is a completely different story. If you are an animal lover then you will melt at the sight of all the intriguing wildlife at the reserves.
Another great reason to go on a safari holiday in South Africa is that you will witness the unique culture of the country. South Africa has a deep history and thus it is steeped in rich culture. You will have a unique and fulfilling experience meeting the local people of South Africa and seeing how the communities there live. What’s more, you will get to taste some outstandingly scrumptious foods and delicacies. And the local people are extremely friendly, not once will you feel out of place as they will go to an effort to ensure that you will be made to feel at home.
As you can see there are obviously a whole host of reasons as to why safari holidays provide such a popular choice. Not only are they something that can be enjoyed by all age ranges, but you can either go in a group or on your own, in addition to this you get to witness unique wildlife in their very own environment as well as witness all the culture South Africa has to offer. A safari in South Africa really is the full package and the real deal, what more could you possibly want?

Make a packing checklist
The great thing about a road trip is that you have less packing restrictions than you would if you were flying on an aeroplane with a suitcase. However, if you plan on spending a lot of time in your car - and even sleeping in your car - then it’s important to make sure you’ve got everything you could ever need right there with you in your car. Create a packing checklist to tick off when you’re packing to ensure you’ve got everything.
Drive in comfort
During a road trip you’ll be spending the majority of your time in your car, and you need to be comfortable while doing so! After you’ve had your car serviced to ensure it will last the duration of your road trip, make some changes to your car so that you can drive in complete comfort such as a seat warmer, easy to reach refreshments, and clothes that aren’t going to be uncomfortable while driving.
If you’re on the lookout for a new car for your road trip, visit your local Range Rover Dealer and browse the range. Range Rovers are made for long distance travelling and would be a great choice if you’re looking for a new car.
Create a playlist
No road trip is complete without music, and since you’ll be travelling between radio frequencies, it’s a good idea to find your own music to listen to. Spend some time creating the ultimate road trip playlists to enjoy. If you’re travelling with a loved one, have them suggest some songs and enjoy belting out classics as you travel around the world.
Plan a route - and know where the best stops are
The beauty of road trips is that you can literally go anywhere you want as long as there is a road to follow. However, having a rough plan on where you’re going is always a good idea to prevent getting yourself completely lost in the middle of nowhere. Research places to stop for refreshments and somewhere to stretch your legs to add more fun to your journey. You may even find interesting activities and sights to see along the way.
Take lots of pictures
Like any vacation, taking pictures is a must so that you can show your family and friends what you’ve seen, and also to appreciate them a few years down the line. Why not take a camcorder along with you to film your experiences and your entire road trip? Most of all, have a blast while doing so!
