Safari Activities

On fully escorted safaris a guide travels with the group throughout to interpret the sights and sounds and to help the safari run a lot more smoothly.

On Flying Safaris all transfers between camps are by aircraft and guests are hosted by a different guide in each new camp they visit. These guides know their areas intimately.

The following activities are usually when on safari:

Game drives
This activity is central to all camps and safaris and conducted by open 4x4 Land Rovers.

Bird watching
Wherever you travel, birds will be found, although some areas offer better bird-watching than others. The greatest number of birds may be seen between October and March, when the migrants are present.

Boating
In some camps you'll travel out into the surrounding areas by boat looking for game and birds and enjoying the general scenery.

Guided walks
Offers the opportunity of exploring the area on foot (at the final discretion of the tour leader/ camp manager), in the company of an experienced guide.

Canoeing and mokoroing
In many of the regions opportunities exist to explore the wildlife of the waterways. In some instances, travelling by canoe or mokoro (dugout canoe) may be the best or only way of reaching certain locations.
