This type of game drive makes visiting a national park or a private reserve an excursion to look forward to, with each offering something different. In a national park, a guided safari needs to adhere to the rules and regulation of the authority overseeing the management of the area—driving on designated roads, adhering to specific times, and staying in the vehicle are just some of them. There is a little more freedom when choosing a private reserve—meaning off-roading is usually possible, more exclusive game viewing and greater freedom of movement.
Guided Game Drives are usually conducted in a specially-adapted vehicle capable of going off-road, and that requires shifting into 4WD. The vehicle accommodated up to 10 safari-goers at a time, which provides an intimate experience in the wild.
Opting for a safari of this nature will give visitors a greater opportunity to marvel at the wonders of African wildlife. The local guides and trackers have a vast knowledge of the fauna and flora in their area, with countless hours spent crisscrossing the landscape. They are aware of the animals’ movements and special spots—and the best of all? They are at hand to answer a whole host of questions from the curious minds on the vehicle.
