Misconceptions I Had About Safari – And What I Learned

Safari wasn’t always at the top of my travel list. I had questions about the timing, the cost, whether my kids were too young, and if I was really the “type” to enjoy it.

This post unpacks the hesitations I had before my first safari and how, by leaning in, I ended up having one of the most memorable and perspective-shifting travel experiences of my life.

Because safari isn’t just about animals (though they’re incredible) — it’s about the landscapes, the stillness, the people, the connection to nature, and how it all stays with you. Whether you’re planning your first safari or simply curious about what it’s really like, this one’s for you.
