Tailor-made travel  adventures in Africa

Extraordinary, one-of-a-kind experiences, designed specifically for you.

Africa is my passion.
The sights, the sounds, the smells. The people. This is a trip that will change you.

Africa is Unlike Any Other Destination

The sights, the sounds, the smells. The experiences. Most travellers come home from their trip saying "Africa changed me."

When planning a trip this meaningful, you need to work with a company that understands how to bring this to you.

We don't have pre-planned itineraries or tell you what you need to do.

Instead, we talk to you about what's important to you, and then work together to come up with your perfect trip.

Planning Your Safari

Of course, safari is by far the most popular activity in Africa, and what truly defines your trip.

The decisions you make in the planning process can dramatically effect the outcome, so it's important to work with an expert to work through the options with you.

Terrain, territory, animal density, public or private, vehicle type, ease of access, malaria, and on and on. These are all considerations we talk through when deciding on the perfect safari for you.

What Does a Day on Safari Look Like?

Many people wonder what a day on safari truly looks like, from sunrise game drives to evening relaxation under the African stars.

To give you a glimpse into the adventure, we’ve created a video that answers your questions and guides you through a typical day on safari.

Watch to discover the sights, sounds, and experiences that make each day in Africa’s wilderness unforgettable, and see what awaits you on this incredible journey.

A DAY ON SAFARI

More Than Just Safari

While the thrill of wildlife encounters is unforgettable, Africa offers so much more.

We can enhance your adventure with a range of unique add-ons, from relaxing beach escapes along the Indian Ocean’s turquoise shores to exploring Cape Town’s vibrant culture and scenic wonders.

For wine lovers, the renowned Winelands offer an indulgent escape with tastings, vineyard tours, and gourmet cuisine.

Whatever your interests, we craft a seamless journey that brings together the best of Africa – from its iconic wildlife to its beautiful coastlines, rich culture, and world-class wines.

My Passion for Africa

With over 25 years of experience in African travel, I bring a deep passion and intimate knowledge of this remarkable continent. I spend part of each year exploring its vast landscapes and unique cultures, continually enriching my expertise.

My personal connection runs even deeper – I’m married to a South African, making Africa not just a destination but a second home. This dedication ensures every journey I plan captures the essence of Africa authentically and memorably.
