Flying versus Driving between destinations

As a general point, fly-in safaris are more costly than travelling from camp to camp by road. However, flying is preferable in many areas because of the poor road system and the amount of time spent in a vehicle (often with very little of interest to see). Some countries, such as Botswana, have so few roads that almost all safaris are by charter aircraft. Many of the smaller camps in remote areas can only be reached by charter flights. Vehicles for game viewing activities are based at the camps.
