A safari to Africa is a highlight of many people’s
lives – and so African Bundu Safaris can offer you,
the adventurous tourist a variety of options for an exciting
holiday in Africa. From a city safari through Cape Town,
Johannesburg or Vic Falls, to a bush camping safari or a
luxury lodge safari in Botswana, Namibia or Tanzania – we
can offer them all. A short description of the many types
of safaris through Southern Africa are listed below – from
budget camping safaris to luxury flying safaris. Let us know
what type of holiday you want to enjoy in Africa and make
a booking by contacting us direct or completing our enquiry
form.
There are six types of safaris we offer:
GUIDED PRIVATE SAFARIS:
Personally, I think these are the best safaris that you can enjoy, where one
of our exciting and knowledgeable Guides will accompany you on safari – from
the meeting you at the airport, driving you from one destination to the next,
ensuring your interests and enjoyment are as important to you as to the Guide,
we offer some of the best Guides available in Southern Africa. We have qualified
and experienced Tour Guides, Field Rangers and Field Guides – whose knowledge
of the flora and fauna, the history and culture of the region, the most scenic
routes to use and of course your comfort, safety and enjoyment to be maintained.
You will not find our Guides intruding on your privacy, but they will share
their love and enthusiasm for our countries and people with you and allow you
to relax and take in the sights, smells and atmosphere of your surroundings.
Your guided safari can utilise any of the lodges, hotels or holiday resorts
that feature on the Accommodation
in Africa website, or we can offer you more
economically priced establishments – your choice! These are ideal for
couples, honeymooners, families or a small group of friends. These are private
safaris, with no other clients sharing your Guide! To book for a private guided
safari, contact us now.
SELF-DRIVE HOLIDAYS:
The self-drive holidays are ideal for the very independent traveller, for the
families with small children, for the tourist who might have family or relatives
in Southern Africa or for people who like to set their own pace for their
vacation in Africa.
We shall rent the car to you, offering you UNLIMITED mileage, SUPERCOVER insurance with a reduced excess responsibility (OR as most of our clients prefer - MAXIMUM INSURANCE COVER) and in South Africa we also can offer you
a FREE Mobile phone rental with a local number. We have over 60 branches for
our car rental division and all our vehicles are less than a year old, so you
shall have a trouble free driving holiday.
We offer a FREE accommodation booking service - booking all your accommodation, as we do NOT mark up the public prices
of the various hotels, guesthouses, lodges that we support. You might like
to choose accommodation for your holiday in Africa, from our Accommodation
in Africa website? For a small additional fee, Dean will spend 5 to 8 hours, typing an interesting detailed itinerary and route description, which contains detailed information on your route to drive, plus property descriptions with photographs - some of which he personally took when he stayed there last. Well, worth every
cent!
We have a wide selection of cars to choose, from the compact 1.3 litre car,
the VW Minibus, and then even the most luxurious vehicles – over
27 different models to choose from! Contact us direct for our car rental rates.
SCHEDULED SMALL GROUP SAFARIS:
Often our international clients are on a brief holiday to Southern Africa and
they want to see many different attractive and exciting destinations in the
short period they have, and then the scheduled small group safaris are ideal
for you. These safaris depart from designated airports or hotels on certain
dates early in the morning – and they follow popular and well-researched
and successful routes, taking in the major attractions during the day and
then overnighting at great establishments that offer excellent value-for-money.
They end in the late afternoon or evening in the major cities. It is best
to overnight near the start of the tour the previous night and not to book
onward flights until the day after the tour ends. The size of the group will
range from 6 to 15 participants and transport will vary from a minibus to
a custom-built safari vehicle. These small group safaris are ideal for individual
travellers or couples and NOT suitable for children under 12 years. To get
more information on any of these scheduled safaris, contact
us direct and
tell us the approximate dates and region in Southern Africa that you wish
to travel. The more information we have from you, the better our assistance
shall be.
BUDGET OVERLAND SAFARIS:
These popular camping safaris are aimed at the 18 to 35 year old adventurous
traveller. To venture into the Bundu is an exciting safari experience in
Africa. Children cannot be accommodated on these overland safaris, but older
people who are young at heart and physically fit, are welcome to join on
a budget camping overland trip through Southern Africa. The overland safaris are participating camping safaris into the bundu and travelling around like a Nomad, where everybody joins in the camp chores,
from cooking, packing, putting up camp and cleaning – the greater your
participation, the greater the fun and enjoyment for the group. Ideal for
single travellers, couples or groups of friends – on a small budget.
For teh Intrepid traveller, often the route shall be off the beaten track, especially when travelling
through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mocambique, Tanzania
or Kenya. In South Africa, often budget hutted or lodge accommodation is
used, especially during our cooler winter months. You will need to bring
or hire a sleeping bag, and everything else is supplied. It is essential
to arrive at the designated departure point the day prior to the start and
onward journeys should only be booked following the last day of the safari.
Participants on the budget overland safaris are required to come with an
open mind and be understanding & patient with the African time system!
If you require some options for possible overland safaris, contact
us direct with your request and wishes. We have dozens of overland camping safaris to offer the budget and adventure traveller. This spreadsheet is a summary of what is on offer - so cntact us for the detailed itinerary of those trips that interest you.
UPMARKET FLYING SAFARIS:
These are the most exciting safaris on offer – and you cover a tremendous amount of Southern Africa in a short time. We have planes based in all the major cities – and we can of course always fly to virtually any airstrip and start your flying safari through Southern Africa at your convenience. You can either have your own plane and pilot to remain with you for the duration of your safari, or we can fly you from one lodge to the next with a few days of enjoyment at each establishment in between flights. The Flying Safaris are quicker, more scenic and very safe. In certain areas, like Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, we have shuttle flights between various lodges, and this saves you, the upmarket tourist a lot of money and time for your flying-safari holiday in Africa.
