It is exhilarating getting up just before dawn, grabbing a quick coffee and maybe a rusk or two before climbing onto an open safari vehicle and heading out into the wilds of Africa to see what wildlife you can find.
Game drives are at the core of the safari experience and for good reason – they offer you a convenient and highly mobile platform from which to view animals, and are suitable for all ages. But to get a wider appreciation of wildlife and its habitat, it’s a good idea to vary the way you engage with it by looking at other activities that offer a different point of view. Here are some suggestions for your next trip.
