If you’re a seasoned explorer, or just not interested in a vanilla safari adventure, you may be looking
for alternative ways to enjoy Africa. Many tourists are drawn to this continent, year in, year out,
for the raw, untouched wilderness. Instead of going to zoos and safari parks, people want to see
magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. When you can do this in luxury too, what’s stopping
you?

Instead of embarking on the traditional safari experience, try something a little different with the
following suggestions:

Wild Walking

Cooped up in a safari Land Rover, you can definitely cover distance, but can you truly experience
Africa? Wild walking is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy a sensory ramble. Hike-haters
won’t buckle on this journey either – there’ll be plenty of stops and much to see. Sitting on a seat is
not quite the same as pounding African soil and quietly stalking exotic creatures.

Drive Yourself

Are you a fan of road trips? Put the power back into your hands (and your car engine) and drive
around Africa at your own leisure. With plenty of B&Bs by the coast or small guest farms, you won’t
be stuck for a place to stay.
