A game drive in an open safari vehicle is without a doubt one of Africa’s classic experiences, and certainly one of the best ways to explore the bush.
Typically scheduled at dawn or dusk, an open vehicle game drive will take you into some of the world’s most famous game reserves to marvel at wildlife, birdlife and ever-changing African landscapes – under the guidance of qualified and experienced rangers who generously share their knowledge of the environment.
Some open vehicle game drives include breakfast or sundowners, but all guarantee you a front row seat to the wildlife and wonders of Africa. Prepare to be joyfully jostled and spellbound by the greatest show on earth: Africa!
Bring the right kit: camera, binoculars, a sunhat for summer and warm layers for winter. For the best of both worlds, sitting in the middle of the vehicle means you are high up for great animal sightings but not so far back that you can’t ask questions. Don’t be shy to ask questions! The more you ask, the more you learn.
