Has anyone done a safari in Africa on thier own?
By this I mean booking into one of the lodges, hiring a 4x4 and just heading off yourself?
Is this feasible or not?

yesIt's a piece of piss. You might not see as much (We saw heaps on our own btw) but when you do it's very satisfying knowing that you found it. You do need a guide when you're on a walking safari though


Thats what I imagined! Theres something about just setting off on your own into the wilderness like that.
Do the parks allow you simply to drive around on your own then?
