Custom and Tailor-made Safaris
We are located in the USA and are a personable team that can easily meet with you and walk you through the planning of your ideal journey. Our philosophy is for everyone to experience the wonders that Africa has to offer. We carefully listen to what type of safari and travel experience you are seeking, whether it be purely for wildlife viewing, or a combination trip that could end with a relaxing beach stay.
During our consultation with you, we can discuss optional add-on’s like having a private guide to host your group on safari, scenic balloon and helicopter flights that would make your vacation extraordinary. The possibilities are endless.
Privately Guided Safaris
Privately Guided SafarisOur company offers personally guided photographic safaris to the most exciting wildlife destinations across the African continent, offering up individual itineraries and experiences in every country we visit. We have expert knowledge in multiple areas as professional guides, including large and small mammals, birds, plant life, tracking, wildlife behavior, and photography.
A privately guided safari is an optional extra that is charged at a daily rate. Your guide travels with you on safari. Having a private guide can streamline your experience as you move from one camp to the next.
As guides, we have good relationships with most of the camps and lodges we work with, so this is a tremendous help when planning all the details of your safari.
Botswana
Botswana is a country of amazing contrasts, from the desert landscapes of the Kalahari in the south to the lush wetlands of the Okavango Delta which are teeming with game.
Kenya
Known as the birthplace of the African Safari, many of the camps and lodges in Kenya are owner run and have a rich history from a bygone era that many people picture when they think of a safari camp.
Namibia
Namibia is located in Southwest Africa next to Botswana. At various times throughout recent history, Namibia has fallen under the governance of Germany, Britain, and South Africa.
Rwanda
Rwanda neighbors Uganda and is a sovereign state located in Central and East Africa. It is one of the smaller countries on the continent and sits south of the Equator by a few degrees.
South Africa
South Africa has it all when it comes to world-class safari destinations. It also includes incredible wildlife safaris and walks through South African history including locations like Cape Town.
Tanzania
Tanzania is the Africa that is imagined in your mind’s eye when you think of the wild areas of the vast continent. An astonishing thirty-one percent of Tanzania’s landmass is dedicated to wildlife areas.
Uganda
Uganda was once referred to as “the Pearl of Africa” by Winston Churchill and is home to the source of the White Nile. Uganda has an abundance of wildlife to offer and hosts more than half of the bird species that occur in Africa.
Zambia
Zambia has only become a safari hotspot in recent years, and it is probably one of the most unspoiled safari regions in Africa. With many locations to visit, such as Victoria Falls, Luangwa Valley, and Kafue National Park, there’s something for everyone.
Zimbabwe
Though Zimbabwe has been on the receiving end of a fair amount of bad press over the years, it is contrary to popular belief, a safe country to visit and is not a place to miss. The people are friendly, and there is a host of amazing sites to see.
