If you're on a tight budget with lots of time, then an overland tour is the way to go. Camping is a great option, and it allows you too see lots while you're here. Make sure you're the overland type of traveler before you book the trip. Check things like group size, level of participation required, type of vehicle and equipment used, and ask for references from other travelers. Also Google the company's name and see what comes up. It is fun and relaxed, but it can be uncomfortable at times and it might involve lots of traveling. Another way to do it on a shoe string budget is to travel from backpacker to backpackers with the Bazbus. You might not get a luxury safari experience and you'll have to figure out everything yourself, but sometimes that's half the fun...
There are still lots of adventure to be enjoyed in Africa! Most wildlife areas are wild and untamed, ready to be explored on an African vacation. If you fall into this category, then choose a destination that offers remote wildlife areas and pick a camping safari operator that specialises in small group travel. These guys know what they are doing and you'll have an amazing time if you don't mind roughing it a little. Generally the camp chores are taken care of, but it's fun to get involved and help where needed. Classic mobile safaris are also very adventurous but this is 'old style safari' at its best and it comes at a price. It is well worth it though.
