A scheduled/group safari is an ideal way to explore Africa for the first–time visitor. Not only is it an affordable way to enjoy a country but can be perfect for single travellers looking to journey with other like–minded companions. Scheduled trips can vary in length, group size and comfort from basic camping to luxury trips, as a general rule, a camping tour in a safari overland truck (perhaps 20 people or so) is often the most cost–effective option and can be just a few days long to around 3 weeks and cover multiple countries – ideal for the adventurous and young at heart. A smaller group size and vehicle, a dedicated guide, along with more upmarket lodges is often an indicator of increased expense. Just remember with a scheduled tour, most will have set departure dates and fixed itinerary and can’t be adapted to your individual needs but do provide a great option of travel.
