A Lazy Traveller's Safari Guide

If you are the type of person who's favourite idea of a holiday is spending most of it in bed, on the beach or by the pool - then this ones for you. Except it's tailored to your next safari trip. 

While the idea of adventure is great, sometimes you just want to choose the least stressful options and enjoy nature at its best. 

First things first - choose the right travel buddy. If you intend to have a lazy safari, you don't want to stress yourself with co travellers who are more amped up than a guitar. We need calm people around us for this particular trip.

Plan ahead and note down the game drives and activities that you actually want to do. You don't need to fit everything in your itinerary - instead pick a couple of key moments - maybe a balloon ride, and one long game drive. The rest of the trip can be for downtime, and you won't feel like you've wasted the journey.

Explore the resort, and pick your favourite spot. Don't just lay in bed. Resorts these days have options for every kind of traveler - from swimming pools to nice resort bars. You can still be out and about but not hectic. 

Make friends with the resort staff. It's amazing what a smile can get you! Sometimes the best connections are made with the people at the very location you are staying at. Best thing is that they will respect your intention to do nothing all day and keep the drinks coming. 

Lazy safaris can be the best safaris!
