A note on dates
Safari zones, seasons and booking rules change, so use the dates above only as a guide. Check the park's official site for current information before you plan. The tips below apply to any nature trip with an older traveller.
Planning a nature trip with a senior
1. Ask the doctor first, especially with heart, lung, joint or balance problems. 2. Check distance to a hospital and how long roads take in rain. 3. Choose comfortable stays with lifts or ground-floor rooms. 4. Ask about the vehicle: open jeeps can be bumpy. A back cushion helps, and some people may find rough tracks too hard. 5. Pack for rain and slipperiness: a light raincoat, non-slip footwear and a folding stick; see folding walking stick for travel. 6. Carry medicines, a medical summary and insurance details; see travel with an elderly parent: checklist. 7. Protect against monsoon illness: drink safe water, eat fresh food and use mosquito protection; see monsoon infections and older adults. 8. Keep the pace gentle, with rest breaks and no long hours in the sun or rain.
