African Safari FAQ

Type Of Safari

First you must ask yourself what type of African safari experience you would like to have. Would you like to be driven in an open utility vehicle through the African bush and grass plains looking for the ever elusive leopard, or would you prefer a hiking experience with an experienced game ranger that allows you to learn more about the smaller fauna and flora of a region?

Other South African travel options include self-drive African safaris. You could elect to rent a fully equipped 4x4 vehicle and head out into the wilds, or you could hire a normal sedan vehicle and stick to the more well-used roads in national parks such as Kruger (South Africa) or Etosha (Namibia).

Keen to ditch the South Africa hotels and rough it in the bush? Consider participating in a camping safari, which allows you to enjoy nature at its best without having to buy all the gear required for a proper camping holiday.
