I went on my first safari in my early 20s and was immediately hooked. I’ve since been back to Africa over 30 times — hiking with the mountain gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda; witnessing the great migration in Kenya and Tanzania; exploring Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zambia; I even went to Botswana and Namibia on my honeymoon. I have a love affair with the continent that keeps me coming back again and again. But I learned a lot between my first safari up through my most recent one (in South Africa earlier this year). Here are some of my tips.
