African Safari Experiences

We offer a couple of safaris each year that are hosted by either Claire and Tracy, along with highly qualified local guides. Both Claire and Tracy have tremendous experience in Africa, collectively spending between 2 and 3 months on the continent.

Our 2 to 3 star accommodated safaris and tours use comfortable accommodation that is booked on a twin share basis. The majority of rooms have en-suite bathrooms and very occasionally they will have shared ablutions. All linen and bedding is provided.

Our 3-4 star accommodated tours use a variety of value-for-money accommodation, from chalets, bungalows, traditional huts, permanent tents to hotels; all with en-suite facilities and comfortable beds to ensure you’re re-charged and ready to go for the following days adventure!

We have a wide range of safaris and tours with set departure dates to cater for guests wanting to travel in small groups. Your guide travels with you for the duration of the safari or tour, with the advantage of enjoying the company of a group of like-minded people for the whole tour …

Adventure camping requires participation. Your guide and assistant do all the meal preparation, however we ask guests to help (on rotation) with the washing up. You will also need to assist with putting up your tent and packing the vehicle.

Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, stands 330 kilometres south of the equator, on the northern boundary of Tanzania. Its location, on an open plain close to the Indian Ocean, and its great size and height strongly influence the climbing conditions.

We have carefully chosen a selection of lodges in Southern Africa and East Africa that specifically cater for families and children. These lodges and tented camps welcome families with children and lay on special features, kid’s food and specialist guides specifically for your family safari.

Fully Assisted Camping (en-suite) is the modern-day version of the ‘traditional’ safari – like the gentleman explorers Baker, Stanley and Baines. Today, the ox-wagons and bearers have been replaced with custom-made 4WD safari vehicles, a professional guide, chef, waiter and support crew.

Fully Assisted Camping (non-ensuite) means you will not have to lift a finger as we take care of all camping chores: cooking, cleaning, pitching and packing tents. You have a 3-man crew of experienced safari staff (including a cook) who are dedicated to making your trip memorable and rewarding.

Safari lodges are fully permanent accommodation built out of stone, wood, thatch, bricks, mortar or a combination of all. Tented Camps are generally considered the best for a true safari experience.

There are numerous options of walking safaris in Africa, offering varying terrains. A walking safari generally consists of walks 2+ hours in duration, and so it is suitable for any adventurous traveller.

Trekking through the African rainforest to see the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is one of the most breathtaking, mesmerizing, and unforgettable experiences one can have.
