Any advantages in selecting southern Africa?
- The use of open safari vehicles for game drives in many areas (better for photography than enclosed mini-vans).
- Walking safaris with experienced guides (less commonly undertaken in east Africa).
- Night drives with spotlights, a wonderful way to see nocturnal animals such as leopard, genet, civet and African wild cat. This is also not a common practice in east Africa.
- Game drives by boat and mokoro (dug-out ‘canoe’) afford a different avenue to see some of the rarer animals and big game drinking or crossing rivers.
- In general, the overall quality of the guides in southern Africa is higher due to better training standards.
- Easy to include Cape Town at the start or end of a trip, or extend to Victoria Falls.
