You can turn around (with light taps on the control buttons), still encountering Pokémon but not taking steps. And since it runs at a hair trigger, it may take some ten or more tries until you can catch it, so be patient, really patient. You may see a Chansey only once for an average of every twenty wild encounters, but when you do, you'll probably fail to catch it. To make matters worse, the rarer the Pokémon is, the harder it is to catch. There are a few original options: throwing rocks at Pokémon to make them angry and easier to catch, but also more prone to running away, or tossing out some bait, which makes them stick around longer but be harder to catch (despite the idea that they are distracted while eating food). The nice thing about the Safari is that you don't have to fight with Pokémon before you can catch them, but you can only catch them with the Safari Balls provided.
