We have all heard of a safari in Africa, but have any of us heard of the Caribbean safaris? The Caribbean is a luxury island so when you consider the fact there is a safari location there as well, it seems a little odd. If you think about the Caribbean, what do you first think of, a safari location, i don’t think so.
Although you won’t be finding lions or many larger animals on one of these safaris there are many different and diverse animals living here. The Bird Fauna is truly extensive on these islands. Trinidad alone has more bird species than the whole of Canada. There are humming birds and parrots, frigate birds and pelicans flying about all over the place.
Now large animals are some what limited on the land but there is not short fall of large animals in the ocean. Animal life doesn’t just stop at safari on the land, you can also travel to the seas as well. You will be seeing Whales and dolphins, and even a diving is optional if you have the proper training. This kind of safari is slightly different to that of the ones you find in Africa, with this one you can sometimes get out of the jeep and walk around. But be careful in some of the larger islands you could come across some big alligators.
What is truly astonishing is the general knowledge that the guides have about some of these certain areas. They tell interesting and memorable stories about the animals and their origins. Rain forest Safari is where these people have their best stories, adventures and tales. So if you have the decision on a Kenya safari or a Caribbean safari, you should think about what kind of holiday you would prefer, the adventure strung Africa Safari, or the more relaxed Caribbean Safari?
