How Our Customizable Safari Packages Work

1. Choose Your Destinations

Africa is home to some of the world’s most iconic safari destinations. From the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to lesser-known gems like Selous and Ruinsori, we offer a wide range of options. Based on your interests—whether it’s wildlife, photography, culture, or adventure—you can select the perfect destinations to explore.

  • Wildlife-Focused Safaris: Want to see the Big Five or witness the Great Migration? We’ll plan your journey around Africa’s top wildlife hotspots.
  • Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations: If you’re looking for something more remote, we can include lesser-visited parks and reserves that offer exceptional wildlife viewing with fewer tourists.
  • Scenic and Cultural Destinations: Combine game drives with visits to local villages, hiking trails, or coastal areas for a mix of nature and culture.

2. Tailor Your Accommodations

Accommodations can make a big difference in your safari experience. Whether you prefer the luxury of a five-star lodge, the adventure of camping under the stars, or the comfort of a mid-range hotel, we can arrange accommodations that suit your needs and budget.

  • Luxury Lodges and Tented Camps: For those seeking comfort and high-end service, we offer luxurious stays in top-tier lodges with stunning views and world-class amenities.
  • Budget-Friendly Options: We can also arrange more affordable lodging options, including comfortable campsites and guesthouses, so you can experience the safari without breaking the bank.
  • Private and Exclusive Stays: If privacy is important, we can book exclusive private villas or luxury safari camps, ensuring you have a peaceful retreat.

3. Curate Unique Safari Experiences

Your safari experience is more than just game drives. We can add unique activities to make your trip even more special. Some of the exclusive experiences we offer include:

  • Private Game Drives: If you want to avoid the crowds and have a more personalized experience, we can arrange private game drives with a dedicated guide.
  • Walking Safaris: For the more adventurous traveler, walking safaris provide a close-up look at Africa’s wildlife and landscapes, with the guidance of a professional ranger.
  • Hot Air Balloon Rides: Experience the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater from a new perspective with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride, offering panoramic views of the landscape and wildlife below.
  • Cultural Encounters: Visit local Maasai villages or other indigenous communities, where you can learn about their traditions, dances, and way of life.
  • Photographic Safaris: For photographers, we’ll plan your safari around the best times for light and wildlife sightings to help you capture the perfect shot.

4. Set Your Safari Pace

Whether you prefer a slow, relaxed safari or an action-packed adventure, we’ll customize the pace of your trip. Some travelers prefer longer stays in fewer locations, while others want to cover as much ground as possible. We’ll design your itinerary based on how fast or slow you’d like to go, including:

  • Slow Travel: Enjoy a leisurely pace with extended stays at each destination. This is ideal for those who want to truly immerse themselves in the wildlife and culture of each area.
  • Fast-Paced Adventure: If you have limited time or want to explore as many places as possible, we’ll ensure your safari is action-packed with shorter stays and more travel between destinations.

5. Special Needs and Accessibility

We understand that some travelers have specific requirements or needs, and we are happy to accommodate them. Whether you require wheelchair-accessible accommodations, dietary restrictions, or family-friendly itineraries, we can design your safari to ensure everyone’s comfort and enjoyment.

  • Family Safaris: We’ll tailor your safari to include activities and accommodations that are family-friendly, such as kid-safe game drives, educational experiences, and suitable lodgings for children.
  • Solo Travel: If you’re traveling alone, we can arrange private guides and ensure your itinerary is set up for solo adventures, with opportunities to meet other travelers or explore on your own.
  • Accessible Travel: We provide accessible accommodations and transportation for travelers with mobility challenges, ensuring a comfortable safari experience.
