Activities on Safari!

A vast majority of African safaris involve jumping off an airplane, climbing into a vehicle and driving huge distances over rough and rocky roads in search of the 'Big Five' animals.

Once the requisite number of photos has been taken, it's time to get out of the vehicle, jump back into the airplane and head home.

Instead of scratching the surface, why not explore and experience the real Africa while enjoying your favorite activities at the same time?
