The remote, wilderness areas of Africa have a devoted, but by no means universal, following. You may need to conduct a little personal self-analysis to discover if a spell away from the trappings of civilization is really for you.
If the confines of a commuter train journey make your heart sing, then read no further! If your idea of heaven is the familiar press of humanity as you hurriedly weave through the shopping centre to the car park. Then save those frequent-flier miles for a New York shopping break. It isn't a question of comfort. You can sleep and eat in luxury and considerable style in some of these remote off-the-beaten-track safaris in Africa. Itβs more about whether youβll be relaxed and spiritually reinvigorated by a spell in a place untrammeled by man. Or left feeling restless?
Many off-the-beaten-track safari destinations are technically deserts, which is not what we might imagine. However they support plenty of vegetation and a diversity of wildlife. But donβt expect this to be a thrill-a-minute experience. These wilderness areas have a much more subtle, and lasting, charm.
So don't rush the experience. Allow at least 3 nights, preferably longer, so that you can soak up its unique atmosphere of these off-the-beaten-track safaris.
Though we pride ourselves on having several sample safaris which head to remote areas of Africa, there is naturally less of a demand. So most of our off the beaten track safaris are tailor-made to suit you, and not necessarily always on this website.
