Andrew was a Professional Safari Guide in East Africa in the late 1970s, and he has been custom-planning Africa trips for a discerning global clientele ever since. He founded Safari Consultants in London, England, in 1980, sold the business in 1987, relocated to the U.S. the same year and started Safari Consultants of London (USA). He ceased all advertising in 1993, and since then has derived almost all business from repeat clients, referrals and magazine articles. Although Andrew's clientele has included American celebrities, European aristocracy and Arab sheikhs, his specialty is addressing the more typical requirements of the countless discerning travelers who seek a truly special custom-planned African safari experience. In over four decades, Andrew has never had a single dissatisfied client. It would be hard to find African Travel Specialists who take the time and care that Andrew does, to make sure that you have the best possible African safari experience…. and if you are going to travel in Africa, you certainly want everything to be organized correctly, to be planned down to the finest detail and to go smoothly. Safari Africa!

Personal service from Andrew Fentiman, 7 days a week. Pictured are Andrew and 'Eleanor' in 1979. There are plenty of companies with glossy brochures offering standardized Africa tours with 'milk-run' itineraries, where you stay at big tourist lodges in sizable groups. By contrast, the safaris that Andew custom plans from scratch are authentic and evocative journeys which take you away from the busy tourist routes to the special smaller properties of character and ambiance - sometimes on vast private wildlife sanctuaries - that deliver a unique and unforgettable ‘personalized’ African safari experience.
Many of those glossy brochure tours feature one and two-night stopovers at each location; motor marathons that are prompted by the tour operator trying to satisfy the novice traveler’s natural desire to "see everything in one go". But minimum three-night stays in each location are generally optimum (after all, two nights is really only one and a half days), and a safari encompassing four different locations is often ideal.

The places Andrew recommends are each uniquely different in terms of the style of accommodations, the range of activities on offer, the knowledge and personalities of your hosts and guides, the variety and abundance of wildlife, tribes and local cultures, topography and even the local climate. In addition, every day on safari in Africa is different, with no two days ever being alike. What all such places do have in common is that they are all small boutique-style properties of character with very comfortable accommodations, great food, fine wines, expert guides and reliable equipment. They are all operated to a high standard, where the emphasis is on personal attention and flexibility in terms of you seeing/doing as much or as little as you wish each day. Also, they offer you the chance to pursue your own particular interests, at your own pace and with expert guidance throughout. Where you go, where you stay and how long you are on safari depends on your own interests and goals, how many of you plan to travel together, the preferred time of year, how much time you have available, the approximate budget you will set aside for this adventure and other factors. We should start planning the safari at least a year in advance of your proposed travel dates!
