Our tips for
a great safari:
Enjoy a good mix of tented camps, and lodges to get the true
safari experience. Don't forget to include time to learn about
Africa's cultural heritage, and don't forget about the unique
coastal areas of Africa such as Lamu, Zanzibar and the Mozambique
coast.
When you contact our information office, it will enable us
help you better if you answer the following questions:
- How many will be traveling with you: their names, ages
and contacts.
- How many days would you like to be on safari?
- What time of year would you like to travel?
- What areas would you like to see?
- What animal species would you like to look for?
- What traditional people would you like to visit?
- What style of safari you prefer: camping, lodges, hotels?
If your budget simply won't allow for either luxury tented
camps or the best of the small lodges, we can recommend less
expensive small lodges, or larger lodges and hotels that are
eco-friendly and offer the best value in their price range.
