Safari's modes of transport


There are several modes of transport get through a natural reserve or park in Africa:

1. On foot - my favourite mode. Obviously not an option when there are big cats.
Where: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
with the Bitukura mountain gorilla family


2. On a bicycle


Where: Hell's Gate National Park, Kenya

5. On a van
The one and only animal which I spotted before anyone else
Where: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

6. On a truck

[Just to clarify, I have seen all types vehicles get stuck in a ditch/ mud in the parks. This was actually a highlight of the trip for me – rescuing the truck (ha!) – we got out of the truck, which we otherwise would not be allowed to. We also became a 'tourist attraction' when other tourists stopped to take pictures of us, in a park where leopards are lurking.]
