Namibia and South Africa are the most affordable of all the safari destinations we offer because you can rent a vehicle and drive yourself around, as well as stay in self-catering accommodation. Driving and cooking yourself will bring costs down but will add to the 'work' you do on vacation.

Accommodation options range from 5-star to star-lit, and include family lodges, honeymoon hideaways, and grand tented camps.
