Tailor Made African Safaris

ITINERARIES DESIGNED BY SOUTHERN AFRICAN SAFARIS.

NOT ALL SAFARIS ARE CREATED EQUAL

How Our Tailor Made Safaris Work Planning a safari can be overwhelming, especially when choosing between countries, parks, lodges, seasons and travel styles. We make the process easier by helping you build an itinerary around what matters most to you. First, we discuss where you want to travel, how long you have, your preferred comfort level, your budget and the type of wildlife or experiences you are hoping for. From there, we recommend suitable destinations, lodges, camps, transport options and safari routes. Your itinerary can include private game reserves, national parks, guided game drives, walking safaris, scenic flights, train journeys, beach extensions, cultural experiences and stopovers in iconic locations such as Cape Town, Victoria Falls, the Okavango Delta, Kruger National Park, Etosha, the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater.

Best Safari Styles

Luxury Lodge Safaris

Stay in carefully selected lodges and safari camps with excellent guiding, comfortable accommodation and outstanding wildlife viewing. Luxury safaris are ideal for couples, honeymooners and travellers wanting a relaxed, high-quality African safari experience.

Private Guided Safaris

A private guided safari gives you more flexibility and a more personal experience. This style works well for families, small groups and travellers who want an itinerary designed around their own interests.

Family Safaris

Family safaris can be planned with child-friendly lodges, suitable travel distances and safari areas that work well for different ages. South Africa is often a popular option for families, especially with malaria-free safari areas.

Wildlife and Photography Safaris

For travellers focused on wildlife, we can design itineraries around the best reserves and seasons for game viewing. Popular options include Kruger, Chobe, the Okavango Delta, Etosha, Hwange, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

Safari and Beach Holidays

Combine your safari with time on the coast or an island escape. Popular combinations include South Africa and Mozambique, Tanzania and Zanzibar, or Kenya and the Indian Ocean coast.
