Overland cross-country safaris are
quite different from the Wing safaris.
The main features that differentiate
these from the fly-in safaris are:
|
 |
The same game guide accompanies
the group all the way through the safari. |
|
Maximum
size of group is 8 guests. |
|
Most of
the travel is by road, although there may
be some flying sectors. |
|
Some safaris
are accommodated throughout in tented camps,
lodges, pre-erected tented camps and hotels
while others are pure camping safaris. |
|
Our brochure,
which is available on request, contains all
the details on the different safaris. |
|
The cross-country safaris are
from 1 to 2 weeks in duration. |
|
The mode of transport depends primarily
upon local conditions. Vehicles are normally
specially designed and customized Land Rovers. |
