Kosher Safari: Nature, Wildlife And Adventure Jewish Style
This article talks about an African safari with a Jewish twist.
Every traveler has his or her own definition of a perfect vacation. A tropical vacation might be on a Hawaiian island, a Mediterranean cruise, a backpacking adventure in Eastern Europe, or a wild African Safari. These are actually just some of the travel ideas that every globetrotter regardless of age, gender, principle or creed would want to experience in his or her lifetime. It is the insatiable hunger to witness the world’s magnificence and beauty while learning many interesting cultures that makes people yearn to visit new places.
Today, there are many travel and tours companies that offer world-class travel experiences for people of different social status. There are actually dozens of tours available today that are customized to address the specific needs of a particular group of people. For the members of the Jewish and Samaritan communities, for instance, no matter how inviting the vacation ideas mentioned above are, they would prefer a travel experience that is completely kosher. That way, they get to indulge in everything that their chosen vacation package offers without once having to compromise their faith.
Much to the joy of the Jewish and Samaritan communities, many travel and tours companies now have plenty of tours that are incorporated with kosher standards. Today, there are dozens of Jewish travel opportunities that Jews can choose from for the different Jewish holidays. These Jewish travel opportunities are highly popular (and fully booked) during Rosh Hashana and Passover. One of the most sought after Jewish vacations today is an ultimate kosher safari. Imagine being able to experience Africa at its finest while maintaining a completely Jewish lifestyle.
The word “safari” automatically sends images of Africa to people’s minds. Only in Africa does every traveler get to experience the luxurious comforts of modern life amidst the greatest natural wonders that the world has to offer. Kosher safaris grant travelers the chance to get acquainted with wildlife roaming free and undisturbed in their natural habitat. Kosher safari tour participants can treat Africa as their playground as they get involved in various ranger games against experienced gamers. Here are some of the things Jewish travelers should expect from a kosher safari in Africa:
1. Victoria Falls - Being able to witness one of the seven wonders of the world alone makes the trip to Africa worth it. The majestic Victoria Falls deafens its travelers with the powerful roar of its waters as well as mesmerizes them with the magical misty haze it emits. Local tribes surrounding the area aptly call it the Mosi-Oa-Tuny or the smoke that thunders. To top it off, this part of the African kosher safari offers an afternoon elephant back ride through the dense bushes for wildlife sightseeing.
2. Zambia - This part of the kosher safari adventure offers a full day of discovery at Botswana’s Chobe National Park. The tour begins in the morning with a cruise along the Chobe River where tour participants get the chance once again to encounter elephants and other species coming to drink and bathe in the water. More wild animals such as zebras, lions, giraffes and buffalo await the Jewish travelers at the Chobe National Park.
3. Cape Town - Jewish travelers are definitely going to feel at home in Cape Town as they get to know and enjoy the company of Africa’s local Jewish community. Cape Town also offers a lot of attractions and activities that visitors should not miss. Some of them include a walk with baboons in their home territory, a full day tour of the wine lands with kosher wine tasting, sightseeing tour at Cape Point and more.
4. Sabi Sands Game Reserve - Kosher safari participants are accommodated in one of the best five-star lodging located in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in Africa. This place lets travelers see the magnificence of nature at its finest. Here, there are even more opportunities for wildlife sighting. Some of the wild animals to watch out for are lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, antelope, zebras, buffaloes and many different species of birds. Tour participants must conjure all their courage and energy up as they ride in wide open land rovers as well as explore the entire surroundings on foot. There are also ranger games that the extremely adventurous can join. These ranger games are available day and night.
Pristine natural surroundings, wild animals, botanical gardens, genius architecture, historic sites, and a very happening night life. This is Africa. There is nowhere else in the world that can offer a kosher safari the way Africa does.
