What’s the ideal duration for a first-time safari adventure?

Planning the duration of your safari is crucial to soaking in the full experience without burnout. I remember my first safari vividly—it was five days long, and in those days, I felt like I was living in an entirely different world. Each day presented something new: lions on day one, a herd of elephants drinking from a waterhole on day three, and spotting the elusive black rhino by day four. Typically, a safari lasting around one week is ideal for first-timers, giving you enough time to delve into the rhythm of the wilderness and experience several locations if desired. But even three days can be magical if that’s all you have! Each day offers different wildlife encounters and landscapes, so flexibility is key.
