Another key consideration is the type of accommodation you’d like to stay in. Different Safari holidays offer a range of accommodation types to suit different people. In popular parks like the Krugar National park in South Africa, visitors can enjoy 5-star luxury in the many gorgeous lodges located within the park. For the more adventurous or for those with a smaller budget, basic lodges and camping pitches are also available. Alternatively, a third option offers the best of both worlds: luxury campsites or “glamping” sites provide guests with both the home-comforts of a luxury lodge and the authentic experience of sleeping under the stars and listening to the sound of the wilderness.

Finally, if there is a particular animal, or group of animals, that you’ve dreamt of seeing in the wild - be sure to choose a destination where sightings are common. Many Safari holidays will give you the opportunity to see a selection of spectacular animals, but a specific park or reserve may not necessarily be home to your favourite.

A gay safari holiday may sound like it requires a lot of planning - and we’d definitely recommend at least some! - but don’t let that put you off. A safari really is a trip of a lifetime; a holiday of lifelong memories, unforgettable experiences - and perhaps even new perspectives. Whether you’re looking for an extraordinary gay honeymoon destination, or you are a gay parent searching for an inspirational destination to take your children, a Safari has it all.

Not sure where to start when planning your African adventure? South Africa is home to Kruger National Park - one of Africa’s largest game reserves - and is also a country where the rights of Gay and LGBT+ people are protected. In fact, South Africa was the fifth country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage.

Have a lovely holiday!
