Going on a safari is extremely exciting and rewarding and therefore we wouldn't want it to be ruined by sickness.

Good preparation is the best way to ensure that you won't get sick, or even worry about getting sick while you explore the jungles and traverse the savannah. And that is where vaccinations come in.

Before we go any further, please remember that vaccinations are not a 100% guarantee against sickness and that each person is different so talking with your doctor is very important.

Choosing the RIGHT African Safari for your visit is a very important part of how your overall experience will turn out. This is an even steeper decision for the people who are visiting Africa from all around the world for the very first time.

Paying for a holiday is expensive and every care should be taken to ensure that your experience is above and beyond the money you paid to facilitate the trip. The experience should leave you willing to do it all over again.

Much as there are many wild pigs in Africa, the warthog is one of the most well-known and easily recognized animals because of its tusks and warts on the face.

From its representation as Pumba in Disney's Lion King to the sharp protruding tusks and warts that dominate their face, warthogs are always a joy to meet on safari.

Because of their beautiful coats, leopard and cheetahs are often compared for similarities and differences. After all, they are both big cats and predators, right?

Because there are no longer so many cheetahs and leopards in the African wilderness, being able to see any of these is a wonderful experience. If you are able to see both on the same trip, how would you tell them apart?

In this article, we'll look at the differences that exist between leopards and cheetahs, and how you can easily tell them apart as though you were a seasoned game ranger.

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals and their speed is critical in ensuring their survival in the unforgiving African wilderness. Unlike other big African cats like lions and leopards, cheetahs are built for speed and not for strength, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage when it comes to getting prey in the wild.

The cheetah is one of the most recognizable cats and is well known as the fastest land animal. The black tear-like facial streaks on the cheetah's small head are a signature feature that completes the look.

The body of a cheetah is highly adapted for speed and is very different from the strong build of other big cats like lions and leopards.
