Start planning your safari tour

Yes. While you will be around wild animals, you will be safe if you follow the safari rules. Game parks have strict safety measures, our safari guides are exceptionally well-trained, and our partner lodges and safari camps are in contact with medical air rescue services.

This depends on your nationality and destination. For most safari holidays, we recommend consulting a travel clinic for advice on Hepatitis A & B and Typhoid. If you are travelling to Kenya or Tanzania, a Yellow Fever vaccination is required. Our team will provide specific visa advice based on your itinerary.

Most of our luxury safari packages are all-inclusive. This typically covers your accommodation in premier lodges and safari camps, all meals, scheduled game drives with an expert guide, and park fees. We will provide a detailed breakdown with your personalised quote.

While our guided safari tours are designed to maximise wildlife sightings, nature is unpredictable, so seeing the Big Five cannot be guaranteed. Our advice is to relax and enjoy every moment of your safari trip, the experience of being in the wild is always breathtaking, regardless of which animals you see!

While the water in some African cities is treated, we strongly advise sticking to bottled water during your travels to avoid any potential stomach upset. All the lodges and safari camps we partner with provide complimentary bottled mineral water.

Yes, most lodges and camps have electricity, typically powered by generators or solar, allowing you to charge devices like cameras and phones. Wi-Fi is often available in the main lodge areas but can be intermittent in remote locations, offering a perfect chance to disconnect.

It’s important to dress comfortably and casually. We recommend neutral colours like khaki for game drives. Pack layers, including sweaters or a fleece jacket, as early mornings and evenings can be quite cool, even in the summer months.

Absolutely. While some lodges have age restrictions, particularly for children under six, many are specifically designed for families. We can recommend a number of lodges that offer wonderful activities and programs to keep children engaged and safe on their safari adventure.

For capturing incredible wildlife photos, a DSLR camera with a telephoto zoom lens of at least 200-300mm is ideal. This allows you to get detailed shots of animals from a respectful distance.

Yes, we highly recommend them. Animals will not always be in close proximity, and a good pair of binoculars (with at least 8x magnification) allows you to see wildlife in stunning detail and greatly enhances your game viewing experience.

US Dollars are widely accepted in most African safari destinations for tips and purchases. However, if you are travelling within South Africa, you will need to use the South African Rand (ZAR). Credit cards are accepted at most major lodges and hotels.

Yes, tipping your guide, tracker, and lodge staff is a customary and much-appreciated practice for excellent service. We will provide you with a detailed tipping guideline in your final travel documents to make it simple and stress-free.
