Northern Explorer Beneath Ruapehu
A safari in East Africa is made to order for low-density travelers. Traveling in their open vehicle with just a driver/ranger, and staying in stand-alone tents or villas in remote properties which host a maximum of 18 guests and offer private dining and sleep under the stars sky beds, is both wildly romantic and extremely sensible. Here are Africa Answers’ top three low-density recommendations.
Botswana Fly-In Safari
Botswana eschews mass tourism and offers utterly exclusive safari experiences; the likes of which no other safari destination can match, and now, perfect for our time. Best of all, they provide a front-row seat for fabulous wildlife spectacles that you may just have all to yourself. Botswana’s primary parks and reserves are linked by light aircraft flights. Here are our recommendations…
The Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is unique on earth. A place where wild animals roam, where big cats and majestic elephants walk free in one of the world’s great wildernesses. The delta offers abundance – in animal numbers, in variety of species, in birdlife, and in the annual zebra migration.
Moremi Game Reserves

The dramatic scenery, rare wildlife such as desert-adapted elephants and unique desert experiences, make it a road trip to relish. The experience of self-driving in Namibia is enhanced by the lonely desert roads and magnificent, sweeping landscapes. The icing on the cake is the high concentration of wildlife.
