the

Experience

planning your Safari

your way

It is our aim to show Africa as we know it – diverse, beautiful, raw with a beating heart that keeps you on your toes as there is always an element of surprise around every corner! We will do this in a way that caters for the dreams of our clients whether it be your first visit or your tenth, while at the same time paying real attention to its people, its land and to the animals that make it such a special place to visit.

With this in mind, our journeys into Africa are in fact not your average holiday but are adventures and are designed to meet the expectations of the traveller and create wondrous, awe-inspiring journeys through habitats that can change the way we see the world.

The majority of our inquiries are from referrals which we greatly appreciate. We make friends with our clients as we know what an investment the trip is. Not just financially but more often than not this is a journey that has been thought about and planned over many years. We take getting the perfect itinerary for each group personally and wont’ deliver a journey that we aren’t 100% happy with. We get as excited as our clients do – from the initial meeting right through to catching up with them when they return.
