Getting around during your safari holidays to Africa is very simple and convenient. Some research in advance would save you precious time and money during your safari trips.

AIR – The best option by air is to travel to one of Africa’s main ‘hubs’ as it would be the cheapest option for you. Once there, you have a choice of national carriers of the various countries can conveniently take you to other destinations across Africa. Most flights to Africa pass through London or other European ‘hubs’ for an even easier trip on your safari holidays.

TRAIN – A wonderful option to have, travel by train in Africa manages to take the stress out of long journeys with fascinating landscapes, colourful locals and always more safer than road-travel. Sleeping compartments are comparatively expensive but extremely cosy and stylish.

BUS – Bus travel can be a mixed bag on your safari holidays as wealthier states have a great network of roads whereas in the poorer states, buses might be your last forte. Small mini-buses, bush-taxis and shared taxis are also available, if needed.

CAR – Hiring a car during your African safari holidays might be fairly expensive with 2WD vehicle costing more than 50 GBP for a day in sub-Saharan Africa while it may cost around 70 GBP for a 4WD on your African safari. However, car hire rates in South Africa can be a bargain if booked online in advance.
