Our Recommendations
We take pride in the fact that we offer custom, hand-designed and tested safaris to all of our clients. Our strong experience in the industry has led us to recognise several combinations that work especially well, and we've put them all together into our "Recommended Tours".
These are all trips that we know back-to-front and would send our best friends, ourselves and family on (and we have!), or otherwise are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that simply have us wriggling in our seats with excitement!
Although we do offer some group travel, most of the safaris here are for couples, handfuls of friends, family trips or special expeditions to unusual places. If you're looking for specialist arrangements (like corporate events, exacting photographic safaris and weddings), your best bet is to either contact us by email or give us a call - we have specific consultants experienced in handling these more specific trips and can offer better advice in person.
