There's nothing quite like seeing animals in their natural habitat, going about their daily routine. Of course, when you're driving along in an SUV, you're bound to be noticed eventually. Thanks a lot Mr. Giraffe for noticing me, staring at me with your judgmental face. I'm not here to hurt you, just to revel in your grace and beauty.

The joys of doing a self-driving safari include taking in the wildlife at your own pace and more freedom to maneuver your vehicle into a good spot. It helps that you don't have other people in the same vehicle vying for the shot. Well, maybe you do - but it's going to be a limited number of people in comparison to a safari vehicle.
