When considering travel to Africa , it is important to distinguish the different types of tours, and how they often overlap.
For instance, there is the Escorted Tour versus the Independent Tour.
An Escorted Tour is where an experienced individual accompanies the tour party and liaisons on their behalf when necessary, with officials, staff, guides, tellers , cab drivers, storekeepers etc. The escort may also provide any additional assistance on tour as required. Africa is an unnerving place to many and having an escort along puts them at ease.

An Independent Tour is one where the tour party travels to Africa on their own dealing directly with everybody. It is highly recommended that independent travel groups carefully read the Adventure Guidebook published by Lion Dog African Safaris.
Another tour type distinction is the Open Tour versus the Private Tour.
The Open Tour generally comprises a tour where one is grouped together with other parties alien to their own.
A Private Tour is where each party travels, sleeps, eats, and tours together privately without others, as much as feasible.

It is also important to recognize the difference between a Custom Tour versus a Packaged Tour.
A Packaged Tour generally involves a tour with set dates, set destinations, set prices, with very few options, which the clients must conform to. Packaged Tour programs are typically displayed in a glossy brochure for mass consumption.

A Custom Tour is designed specifically for the more discerning client based on what the client wants to experience, when and how long they want to experience it for, and at what pricing level they wish to pay. The services of a knowledgeable tour consultant are required to put a quality custom tour program together for the client.
