African Safaris
On safari the camp, the season and the guide decide your experience — far more than the country on the itinerary. Planning is about matching those three to what you actually hope to see and how rough you are willing to rough it.
A brief is a request for a person's help — not a booking. No prices, availability or payment are handled here, and we never ask for passport numbers, dates of birth or card details.
What this covers
- Camp and lodge selection against comfort level, privacy and game density
- Season and movement — what is likely to be where, and when
- Internal flights and transfers, which are most of a safari's complexity
- Family suitability, minimum ages and private-vehicle options
- Combining a safari with beach or city days at either end
What your advisor needs to know
- What you most want to see, honestly stated
- How much comfort you need at the end of a long game drive
- Timing, and how flexible it is
- Party size, ages and anyone travelling with mobility needs
- Budget range per person — safari pricing varies enormously by camp
Worth knowing
- Wildlife is never guaranteed; anyone promising sightings is selling, not planning.
- Camps are small and book far ahead — the best months go first.
- Health and entry requirements change; your advisor checks current official guidance with you rather than quoting memory.
