Times have changed since the first African safari, which was probably something like beating to a way through the wild African bush.
A walking safari is undoubtedly the best safari made available to tourists. Being on foot allows the hiker to get up close and experience the African wilderness. However, when choosing a walking safari, be sure to book with a reputable safari company offering the services of professional and experienced safari guides, as safety is vital when on foot. There are a number of types of walking safaris - ranging from small trails to large-scale backpacking expeditions. Walking safaris can include luxury lodges, camp huts or tented accommodation.
Mobile safaris use off-road vehicles, which means that larger distances are covered in a shorter time. This type of safari is popular, as most people have only a limited time when on holiday, and mobile safaris provides greater opportunities to see wild animals in their natural habitat. Most game parks in Africa offer 4x4 safaris, and visitors can choose between day safaris and night rides. Mobile safaris are the most versatile safari made available, allowing travelers to choose from a range of accommodation.

Trucks carry tourists by land through Africa and large distances may be short trips (two days) or during a period of several weeks. Expedition overland safaris are different from mobile safaris.
Canoe safaris are also a popular means of seeing Africa up close. Professional guided tours and qualified instructors take tourists on river trips. Tourists can combine walking safaris with canoe safaris, and accommodation is usually tented camps. Canoe safaris offer visitors the opportunity to view wild animals as they come to drink or attempt a crossing.
