Alternative Wildlife Experience in South Africa

If you're a seasoned safari-goer on the lookout for something a little different or an adventurous spirit eager for a twist on the traditional safari, these alternative ideas will set your imagination running wild. Whilst game viewing from an open-topped safari vehicle may be the classic way to explore the African bush, there are several more unusual safari options that will give you an entirely unique and totally thrilling perspective of Africa.

Advancing slowly in single file through dense bushland on foot is something quite astounding. It's a surefire way to feel completely immersed in the magic of the bush and an experience that will stick with you forever.

Equally, galloping amongst giraffe and rhino on the back of a pure bred Arabian horse is a wonderful way to get a different take on a traditional safari.

However, if horseback adventures are not your 'thing', have no fear. There is most definitely an alternative safari out there that ticks your personal wish list. How about an expertly guided morning game drive en-route to discover ancient Bushman rock art? Or, what about finding a perfectly peaceful spot on a remote craggy escarpment and watching the go down over the grazing wildlife on the plains below? You can even join a herd of elephants and watch while they enjoy their midday swim in the river. These are all experiences to carry with you for a lifetime.

We've created a number of South African holidays that will treat you to a remarkable twist on the bush.
