Planning a
safari
can be
a
daunting
task.
With so many options available, it can be difficult even to know where to start. When to travel? Where to go? How to maximize your time on safari? How many days should you plan to be on safari? Which properties would best suit you?
With over 25 years of being based in Africa, designing luxury and custom travel, you can rest assured that you are in the best hands when you reach out to us to plan your safari. We will work with you to make sure that your time spent on safari is perfectly crafted to exceed your expectations.
All of our trips are custom tailored to your particular needs and desires – to the composition of your group, to the time of year you prefer to travel, to your budget.
No two safaris we plan are ever the same. By virtue of this, we don’t offer set itineraries, but can happily send you some sample itineraries, based on a conversation with you about what you are looking for.
