We specialize in curated safari and adventure experiences across some of Africa’s most breathtaking destinations. Here’s a look at the countries we currently operate in:

Botswana

South Africa
From the iconic Kruger National Park to the scenic Garden Route and vibrant Cape Town, South Africa offers a diverse mix of wildlife, culture, and adventure. We create custom itineraries that combine safari with city life, wine tours, and coastal experiences.

Namibia is perfect for those seeking dramatic desert landscapes and unique wildlife. We offer guided tours through the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park, and the remote Skeleton Coast.

Tanzania
Home to the Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers world-class safaris and incredible natural wonders. We organize both luxury and mid-range trips to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar for a complete bush-and-beach experience.

Kenya
Kenya is the birthplace of safari and remains one of Africa’s top wildlife destinations. We provide safaris to the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru, with options to meet the Maasai people and witness the Great Migration.

It depends on your nationality and the duration of your stay. Visitors to Botswana usually require a visa unless they come from a visa-exempt country. Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at airports or border crossings, while others must apply for a visa in advance through a Botswana embassy or consulate. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Check your passport nationality — this determines if your country is visa-exempt, eligible for visa on arrival, or needs a pre-arranged visa.

  2. Consider your travel plans — specify the purpose (tourism/safari), length of stay, and whether you plan to cross borders (e.g., visiting Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia).

  3. Apply in advance if required — some travelers must secure a visa before departure.

  4. Be aware of practicalities — fees vary, processing times differ, and you may need proof of onward travel, passport photos, and a valid passport.

“Per Person Sharing” refers to the cost of accommodation based on two or more people sharing a room. This pricing is common in travel packages and means the quoted rate applies to each individual when they are sharing a room with another traveler. If you prefer a private room, a single supplement fee may apply to cover the additional cost.

Our experts agents will provide detailed information on the per person sharing rates, as well as any applicable single supplement fees, when assisting you with your safari booking. We strive to ensure transparent pricing and help you choose the best options that suit your needs, preferences, and budget.

Transfers from the airport to our lodges and camps are typically arranged as part of your safari package. Depending on the location of your accommodation, transfers can include a combination of:

  • Scheduled or chartered light aircraft flights for remote safari areas such as the Okavango Delta or northern Botswana.

  • 4×4 road transfers from nearby airports or towns, especially if the camp is accessible by vehicle.

  • Boat transfers in certain regions where waterways are the primary mode of transport.

Upon arrival, a representative will meet you at the airport and guide you through the transfer process. We ensure all logistics are handled smoothly so you can focus on enjoying your safari.

Tip: Please let us know your international arrival details in advance so we can coordinate all necessary transfers seamlessly.

Yes, the cities and towns included in our itineraries are generally considered safe for travelers. We carefully select accommodations and routes that prioritize your comfort and security. That said, like in any urban area worldwide, it’s important to exercise basic travel precautions, such as:

  • Keeping valuables secure and out of sight

  • Following the advice of your guide or hotel staff

Our team is always available to offer up-to-date local insights and safety tips to help ensure a worry-free stay. Your well-being is our top priority throughout your journey.
