Packing tips
Travel tips
“You won’t feel overcrowded on our trucks. The maximum group size is 24, and there are often free seats. We also offer limited dates where numbers are limited to 12 people, which guarantees you a window seat. They are a bit more expensive, but if you want to have that small group feel, and have even more space, then they are ideal. The windows are really big, so even if you have to share a seat, there is plenty of room to see. And the windows do open, so there is plenty of air blowing through. We do have seat belts in all our trucks and we put charging points in them too.”Food tips
Enjoying the ride
“It’s an important to go in with a ‘can do’ attitude – you always get more out of it the more you want to pitch in and help. And you get to know people better. The better relationship you have with your guides and tour leaders, the more you are going to get out of it. Some people do insist on trying to get the back corner seats, always the preferred seats. And you will get people who try and say ‘that is my seat, I am always sitting there’, and won’t move around, that can be annoying for everyone.”Our top Budget safari Vacation

Budget safaris travel tips
We have selected some of the most useful budget safari travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your vacation - and the space inside your suitcase.


“Do it! Especially if you enjoy wild camping--not the kind with running water and generators at each site but camping in places quite remote with few amenities. we used a fraction of the resources travelers on supported safaris use.” – Kelly Towle on a Namibia and Botswana camping safari
“This is not a relaxing vacation, but you see everything from wetland Africa to driest desert, with superb animal sightings and cultural visits all in one short tour. Excellent. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to do safari and more and wants to feel they are actually IN Africa, rather than a detached 5 star European dream of it.” – Richard Paradine in the Namib Desert and Caprivi Strip
“The most memorable part of the vacation was the huge variety of places, parks and terrains we visited. Camping enabled us to stay in the national parks, so we didn't have as much traveling as the accommodated group on the same tour. The tour guides were superb.” – John Greenwood, on a Namibia and Botswana camping safari
