When is the best time to go on a safari?
Finding the best time to visit Africa is more about where you go and when. With the abundant, rich, and diverse climates and ecosystems Africa has to offer, there is always a good time to visit Africa.
What tour options does Bravo Travel offer?
There are many ways to travel— from solo to group trips to exclusive, private trips. Here is a sampling of the trips we can arrange for you, so you can decide what type of trip to Africa you should take:
GROUP SET DEPARTURES
This type of journey has set departure days and generally cannot be customized because all participants share the same itinerary. Group departures vary in size, but all have a set minimum. On a group journey, you can bond with other members of your group, as you create shared moments throughout your trip.
PRIVATE OR CUSTOM TRIPS (GROUP OF FRIENDS OR FAMILY)
Experience the thrill of a journey tailored perfectly to you. Whether that includes private excursions or the company of a group, you’ll decide what you do when.
EXCLUSIVELY PRIVATE TRIPS / SOLO TRAVEL
Enjoy the exclusivity of your own vehicle, guide, and private accommodations on a private trip. Whether you’re an independent traveler, a photographer, or a parent, this option provides you with exclusivity that truly makes you feel special. The downside is the cost tends to be higher than when shared among two or more people.
Do I need Travel Insurance?
It is always advisable to have travel insurance while visiting East Africa just like any other parts of the world. It comes in handy incase of evacuation from remote National Parks. An element of personal risk that is of hazardous nature is involved in all the expeditions. Although these can be purchased in Kenya it much better to take comprehensive travel insurance cover in your own countries to cover any flight irregularities, baggage loss or delays, as well as your travel during your entire holiday in Kenya.
Do you offer custom built holidays or must we always join a group?
No it is not a must to join a group. Bravo Travel Kenya specializes in arranging safaris and holidays custom built around your own specifications. This is our niche. Please fill in your requirements in the Inquiry Form provided and submit online for an itinerary plan and a quote. Alternatively, you can drop us an email on info@bravotravel.co.ke and we shall put together a package for you based on your interests and budget.
How far in advance should I book my safari?
It is highly recommended to make arrangements for your safari in advance as far as possible. 4-6 months is most convenient and assures you availability especially during the months of the high season, July-mid September, Christmas-new year. This saves last minute searches which often find you compromising standards and with no guarantee of availability.
How many people do you need for a safari to take off?
Our safaris are guaranteed to commence with a minimum of 2 people (However we still offer safaris for single travelers on their own when requested). All our vehicles are 7-seaters. For safaris with more than 7 people we use 2 vehicles. Each person is assured a window seat.
I’m travelling alone, will this be a problem?
We welcome single travelers and assure you that whether you are travelling on a tailor-made itinerary or as part of one of our group tours, we will make sure that you have a fantastic time and experience the magical adventures we strive to deliver. Our driver guides are very highly trained, with years of experience in the industry, and are therefore very aware of single travelers who may feel apprehensive and nervous. Rest assured that African hospitality will make you feel as though you are among friends from the very beginning of the tour, and within hours you will be.
What is a single supplement?
The hotels impose a minimal extra fee for single travelers. Safari prices are based on two people sharing a double-room accommodation. In the case of single travelers they pay the per-person and the single supplement fee.
A single traveler can share a room with another single?
In addition, a single traveler can share a room with another single person as long as the other person is of the same sex and on condition they both agree to the arrangement.
