Contrary to popular belief, safaris don’t necessarily have to be experienced from a jeep, with a guide and driver transporting you from one location to another at all times. There are other, and often cheaper, ways to go on a safari than you might think!
A great alternative to the classic safari route is to go on a walking safari tour. Not only is a walking safari cheaper for the more obvious reason of not needing the use of a vehicle, walking safari provides you with the opportunity of truly immersing yourself with nature. On a walking safari, you get the chance to get up close and personal with wildlife, which often is the perfect opportunity for an excellent photo! Walking safaris are also often more intimate in nature as the groups are usually smaller.Camping safaris are also a great safari experience with many camping safari tours available in Kruger National Park, South Africa and Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. Spend your night sleeping under the spectacular display of stars deep in the African savannah – an experience of a lifetime!
