While some prefer to go with a trusted travel agency, others endeavour alone. But most who are looking forward to go on a safari for the first time are stuck on this decision of whether to go alone or book through a agency. If you’re one of them, there are a few things to note and this article is for you.
While the trips and stays seem pretty simple on the surface, there’s a lot going in the background that many travellers or novices aren’t knowledgeable of. Backpacking And Solo Travelling Backpacking is on the rise with global tourism opening up and travelling cost coming down. Especially millennial and young tourists who are adventurous by heart embark on solo backpacking and like to explore the world alone all by themselves. According to a post on Forbes, $217 billion dollars was spent by young tourists alone last year which clearly signifies its popularity. But it does come at its own risks and disadvantages which a Tour Company helps to address. Role And Benefits Of A Travel Agent In Conducting A Tour: To answer the question in one word, yes. Excluding few parks, you can obviously go ahead and go on a African Safari Tours by yourself. But considering the benefits that a registered travel agent can bring to the table, you might think otherwise -- to go on a
safari trip through a travel agent. Here are the vital roles a travel agent plays in organizing the tour: They can craft a perfect itinerary for you. When you’re travelling to a new destination like a safari park, you have basically very little about what to cover and what not to. You’re really at the mercy of internet materials like maps and reviews and your intuition. A African Safari dedicated tour company can create a personalized tour itinerary for you imparting their own expertise. Bridge the Communications gap. If you’re travelling to a place where your native language is not spoken or understood, it acts like a barrier which can hinder the overall tour experience. This is particularly true for African Safari Destinations. Tour operators and guides can help overcome this by being the intermediary translator. They can avail discounts. We, as a tour company, work closely with third-party service providers in facilitating the whole tour. Thus, if certain conditions are met, we can avail discounts and freebies on your behalf. They act like an advisor. African Safari Trips are not completed in one day and they are at least a week long affair. At any point in time during that, you might need
assistance on even the smallest things. When you’re with a tour company, you have something to look up to in some situations. How To Choose A Good Travel Agent (In case you need one): Picking the right Travel Agent is crucial for a seamless safari experience. When going through a bunch of list to settle on one, enquire or research about the following topics: Do they know the off-road tracks of safari parks? In some parks, it is not allowed to go on such trips while some parks permit. In the permissible parks, they should have good experience or knowledge about the off-road tracks which provide excellent wildlife experience. Do they have knowledge about the private reserves that are either in or adjacent to the national parks? These private concessions are constructed in some of the game concentrated areas of the park. Thus you might miss out on some gems if they can’t take you there. Are they engaged in any sustainable tourism activities? Reputed tour companies are directly or indirectly involved in promoting sustainable tourism and consequently provide a much better safari experience.
Do they have partnerships with third party providers? Everything involved in organizing a tour package cannot be done alone. Thus they form partnerships with other service providers to take care of it. While there are many more factors coming into play in determining the best tour company to travel with, these are the primary four. So as evident, both backpacking and safari companies come with their own merits and demerits. In the end, it all depends upon how you want your tour to be, whether you want to explore the sites alone or you need an expert hand while trying to navigate the location.
