Eight days is all you need for an African safari, which is good news for travelers who can’t swing two weeks or more out of the office. Here’s how to do it: Stick to one country. Don’t try to pack too much into a single trip (tempting as it may be). And make sure you choose activities you actually want to do—whether it’s game drives and fly camping, or exploring local villages and elephant orphanages—versus those you think you should. The eight-day safari is also perfect for beginners. If you really fall in love with it, you can return and plan so much more. In Africa, you’ll never run out of things to look forward to. And don’t forget that it’s easier to get to Africa than you think—especially if you’re flying from the East Coast: There are nonstop flights to Johannesburg from New York City and Atlanta, and connecting flights to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
