Safari holidays do not have to consist of sitting in the back of a truck and being driven around to see a number of different animals. Many people would rather be selective about their safari holiday and tailor make it to be specifically about one or two types of animals or birds.

Hippo safaris are very popular at the moment and if you thought the Hippo was boring then you really need to experience one of these to open your eyes.

There are many places that offer these types of safaris but one of the best locations is said to be South Africa. You can of course combine this experience with other ones such as gorilla trekking or a big five experience allowing you to get up close with lions, elephants and water buffalo too.

Safari holidays do come at a cost, so you need to carefully consider which one is best for you as it may be something you only get to do once in your lifetime.
