Because Africa is such a uniquely diverse and varied destination, there is no quick answer. Comfortable camping safaris are cheaper than staying in a luxury safari lodge, except when you are heading into remote wilderness areas - then safari travel logistics costs come into play. Certain mobile safaris operate on a scheduled departure basis at a fixed cost, while fly-in safaris or tailor-made safaris are planned specifically to meet your own personal budget and needs. Affordability of an African safari tour is in the mind of the beholder and the value of desired experiences is a personal matter.	Great Karoo and Little Karoo - "The Thirstland" 3 Days & 2 Nights Please note that this tour can be adjusted to your requirements and interests. This is merely a suggestion from endless possibilities. Experience the rugged and mysteriously beautiful Great Karoo with its vast, desolate landscape and the Little Karoo with its magnificent mountain scenery - a region famous for its dried fruits and Port wines. Day 1: Cape Town to Prince Albert We travel over the mountains to Worcester, gateway to the Great Karoo. Our journey takes us through the magnificent Hex River Valley where we view the most spectacular mountain scenery, lush vineyards and indigenous flora. We visit Matjiesfontein, a nostalgic Victorian village set in the stark surroundings of the Great Karoo. Passing through Laingsburg we turn away from the main road and travel to Prince Albert, where we spend a leisurely evening, enjoying the clear Karoo night sky and feasting on a delicious traditional dinner of Karoo Lamb. Day 2: Prince Albert to Oudtshoorn After a hearty breakfast, we leave the Great Karoo, and (weather permitting), negotiate the magnificent grandfather of all passes, the Swartberg Pass, rising 1000 meters within 12 kilometres. We descend into the heart of the mountains and visit the Cango Caves with its spectacular limestone formations. Our day is concluded with a guided tour of the Cango Ostrich Ranch. Day 3: Oudtshoorn to Cape Town We start our journey to Cape Town via the R62, the longest wine route in the world. A leisurely drive brings us to Calitzdorp, the Port Wine Capital of South Africa. Here we have an opportunity to taste some of the Port and other local wines. We continue our homeward journey to Barrydale where we exit the Little Karoo over the Tradouw Pass. Once in the Overberg, we arrive in Swellendam, a pioneer frontier town of the 18th century. The last leg of the journey takes us past rolling farmlands, dramatic mountain scapes and prime fruit growing country to finally arrive back in the Mother City.
