I\u2019m often amazed by the perception that one has to drive off road in order to have a \u2018proper\u2019 safari.\u00a0 As the manager of Rhino Post Safari Lodge in the Kruger National Park, where off-roading is forbidden for both ethical reasons and long term environmental preservation, we regularly and frequently share incredible sightings with guests, without ever<\/em> leaving the road.<\/p>\n On those rare occasions when we\u2019ve followed a hunt and the action happened to take place behind a tree or rock, we might have be disappointed to have missed it, but our guides knew that they had not influenced the outcome. They\u2019ve even taken advantage of the opportunity to switch off the lights and engine, and use other less developed senses.\u00a0 Fortunately there are more than enough exciting sightings that occur in view of the road; and tomorrow (as they say in the classics) is another day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
