WILDBERG SAFARIS TRAVEL HINTS
TRAVEL INFORMATION
When planning your safari this information might come in handy.
DURATION
The best months for a safaris are from March through to October. The days are cool and comfortable with chilly to cold nights. The rest of the year is mild to warm. The duration of a hunting safari is determined mainly by the number and species required. Safaris are normally two weeks but shorter hunts are available on request. We recommend a minimum of five days. Short hunts or tours for businessmen can also be accommodated.

Comfortable and well-worn safari brand clothes are necessary for daywear while warm clothing is necessary for early mornings and late evenings. We also recommend a hat, a good pair of worn in boots and a pair of binoculars.
