Our Favourite Safari Images of 2017

Chat now on WhatsApp

The end of the year is fast approaching (we can’t believe it either), and we can’t help but reminisce the happenings of the year. Photos are the best way to remind ourselves of the awesome memories and relive the moments that made a profound difference to our lives.Safari images always make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, not just because the backdrops are always breathtaking, but because the wildlife are just so photogenic and their heartwarming characters are often captured perfectly, in a picture.We couldn’t help but share our favourite photos of the year with you, and share in the joy they bring. So, take a scroll through our favourite finds! You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how angelic, funny and affectionate some of the world’s strongest beasts can be, and you’ll be delighted to see the personality that oozes from the quiet, mysterious species.

Pictures that Demonstrate their Affection

Not many people know that all animals show affection, in one way or another. Every animal instinctively shows love to their family or their young. Animals have feelings, too, and they’re not afraid to show it!

The Quirky Side of the Wild

The wildlife can be rather quirky, and these pictures certainly portray that side. In most wildlife documentaries, they fail to show this fun-loving side, making one think they are all serious - no fun and games. However, you’d be surprised by their fascinating characters and personality traits. This is best experienced in the flesh, but for now these pictures will have to do!

Pics that make us ooh and ahh

I think we can all agree, that babies of any species, warm our hearts. They’re just so cute, small and innocent and one is able to catch a glimpse of their life, before survival kicks in. They mirror the life of literal babies, who rely on their parents for food and protection - and they also know how to cause havoc every now and then, too!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
