From walking and paddling to flying, sailing, and sharing time with local communities, there are many ways to engage with wild places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are just some of the experiences that can shape a safari holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"game-drives\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game Drives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Game drives are the classic safari experience. Whether by day or at night, they offer access to large areas and the chance to see a wide range of wildlife, often at close quarters. For most travellers, game drives will make up a significant proportion of time spent on safari, forming the backbone around which other activities are built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"walking-safaris-and-primate-treks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walking Safaris and Primate Treks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-120x160.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-90x120.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-320x427.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-560x747.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186-1160x1547.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/explorersagainstextinction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_0186.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking brings a completely different perspective.
