TENTS THE WAY TO GO

- You can either choose to learn the basic words in a particular language and travel with someone who can interprete for you
- Or you can ask for a guide who speaks your language when booking a safari
- You can also buy a small book that has easy translations that you will learn in a very short while

TENTS THE WAY TO GO
You will definitely want to try the tents this time. They may not be as spacious...well you could get the spacious ones at various lodges but those do not give you the real feeling of the wild. As for that tent that definitely has a mosquito net and just has your space. In most national parks there are some that you can hire if you do not want to bother yourself with carrying one.
Trust me you will be fascinated by the sound of a hippo grazing outside your room or better still a wart hog taking a good rest or an elephant passing by. Well maybe not so close for the elephant but maybe hearing it cry would be much less scary.
Tips...carry a good repellant and ask for a tent with a mosquito net.
