The old-style African safari is an unforgettable experience that has no parallel anywhere on earth. We use the term 'old-style' to distinguish our traditional safaris from the modern version with its tour groups and minibus marathons.

The choice of destination can be bewildering and although there are more than thirty countries (sub-Sahara) on the African continent, the foremost safari destinations tend to be in eastern, central and southern Africa. In alphabetical order, these are: Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The safari seasons are different in each country, so when we help you decide where to visit, your proposed time of travel will be a significant factor.

It is a mistake to think you will see more animals in one region than another. What you will see depends much more on the proficiency of your guide, on local game movements and migrations, on the time of year and even the time of day you are out game-viewing.

As for the huge variety of safaris on offer, do not waste your time leafing through different brochures because you will only become confused. Call us today.

We will answer your questions fully and discuss the various alternatives, helping you to determine what safari will suit you best and also planning and arranging everything for you, from start to finish. Basically, there are two types of safari. You can either join a group on a scheduled-departure tour or you can enjoy a custom-planned safari, designed especially for you and your family or friends.

Most of our clients choose a personalized safari and this is certainly the best option for the astute traveller who desires a special African experience.

Among the many safari alternatives are:

• Exclusive old-style luxury tented safaris: the ultimate safari of quality.
  
  
• Exclusive'no frills'tented safaris, with more than adequate comforts.
  
  
• Lodge tours using small premises of character, private farrns and homesteads.
  
  
• Adventure on foot with porters, or with horses, donkeys, camels or canoes ...
  
  
• Special interests like photography, cultures, birds, flowers, fishing etc.

However, if you do decide on a tour offered by another company, we will be pleased to book the arrangements on your behalf to ensure that you get the most appropriate itinerary and the added benefit of our own expertise and impartial advice throughout.

The African safari tradition was firmly established by the early 1900's and we are proud to be keeping alive the old standards of personal attention, custom-planned arrangements of quality, exciting and original itineraries, comfortable accommodations of character, stylish travel at a leisurely pace, warm hospitality and the finest wildlife guidance.
