How Does An African Safari Look Like?
-----------------------------
Most safaris are focused on guests participating in two or three activities per day, for example morning and afternoon game drives in four-wheel-drive (4wd) vehicles or minivans.
A game drive consists of a drive around the park or reserve in search of wildlife. Your guide helps you to interpret and understand what you are seeing in the bush. The drive lasts 2 to 5 hours and are conducted when the wildlife is most active.
That is early in the morning (often before breakfast), just after breakfast, in the late afternoon and at night (where the park authorities do allow).
Midday activities might include boat riding, spending time in a “hide” observing wildlife coming to a waterhole or river, visiting a local village or school, birdwatching or viewing game as it passes by your tent or lodge, writing about your experiences in your journal, lazing around the swimming pool or taking a nap.
After an exhilarating day on safari, many guests return to their exquisite European or Pan-African cuisine in lodges and camps that range from comfortable to extremely luxurious with private swimming pools and butler service.
Why We Love Safaris in Africa?
- Safaris in Africa can be considerably cheaper, and more secluded, than in other continents
- There are a number of national parks and countless private game reserves to discover. Whether you're coming for the views, the wildlife, the culture, the activities, or the accommodation, you'll find it and so much more in Africa.
- Each national park has its own highlights and advantages. Our Safaris are split between the Eastern and Southern Africa by destinations, and Africa's domestic flight and road network makes it easy to combine a few national parks along a single itinerary.

Other Safari Types that we offer
FLYING SAFARIS
Flying safaris are safaris in which guests are flown within or near the wildlife reserves that are to be visited. They are then usually picked up at the airport or airstrip upon arrival and driven to their camp or lodge — which is often a game drive in itself.
DRIVING SAFARIS
Driving Safaris are simply safaris in which guests are driven by their driver/guide from reserve to reserve. You generally have the same guide throughout the safari, who have very good knowledge of all the parks and reserves to be visited. This safari is less expensive than flying safaris. READ MORE
FLY/DRIVE SAFARIS
As reflected from the name, these safaris are a combination of driving and flying. The general idea is to fly over areas that are not interesting to drive or that you have already covered on the ground, and drive through the areas that have the most to offer.
SELF-DRIVE SAFARIS
Driving Safaris are simply safaris in which guests are driven by their driver/guide from reserve to reserve. You generally have the same guide throughout the safari, who have very good knowledge of all the parks and reserves to be visited. This safari is less expensive than flying safaris.

Our Advise
- Consider choosing smaller camps and lodges that are unfenced where wildlife is allowed to walk freely about the grounds.
- In terms of the long-term future of Africa’s wildlife reserves, it is important to consider selecting a destination from which local people benefit in tangible ways.
- To be guided by or to meet happy people from various cultures and to learn about their customs will greatly enhance your trip to Africa.
- Another excellent way to get the most out of your adventure is to have a private safari arranged for you. On this safari You do not have to bow to the wishes of the majority of the group or a set itinerary of group departures. With your guide, you are basically free to explore your own interests, spend as much time as you want photographing particular animals, and generally do things at a pace that suits you. In some cases, for an extra charge you can book a private vehicle for your party when on a flying safari or on a group driving safari.
- We highly recommend this option as it allows you greater flexibility as to how you spend your time during the day.
