When planning with a tour operator it will help if you know what you want from your safari. The more information you arm yourself with the better the whole safari experience will be.

There is the budget safari which is generally camping in two-man tents this is the cheapest type of safari. An advantage with this safari is that you are able to go into remote areas away from the throngs of tourists. The tour operator will generally provide all the camping equipment, cook and food unless you make other arrangements. Some operators will allow you to cook for yourself and buy your own food from a local supermarket before you head out of town and into the bush. All you need to bring is a sleeping bag. These can be hired but it is better to use your own bag
