Why Plan Your Safari Through Us
Planning a safari is a big decision. It’s a significant investment, often to a part of the world many travellers have never visited before.
We’ve spent years researching, planning and experiencing safaris across six African countries and more than 25 national parks and private reserves. That first-hand experience allows us to connect travellers with trusted local safari operators we’ve personally travelled with and help you plan your safari with confidence.
So, how does planning a safari through us actually work?
We are not travel agents and we don’t sell safaris
Instead, we connect travellers with trusted, locally owned African safari operators we have personally travelled on safari with.
Book directly: The local operators and agents we connect you with are licensed, reputable businesses who design and run safaris on the ground. You book directly with them, not through us.
Ethical travel matters: We’re passionate about ethical, sustainable tourism and believe the people who live and work in safari destinations should be at the heart of every safari. That’s why we’ve chosen to build our business around trusted, locally owned operators we’ve personally travelled with.
Our role: When you enquire through us, your details go directly to the operators best suited to your trip. They’ll design your itinerary and manage your booking directly, while we remain alongside you to offer independent support throughout your planning journey.
Our price promise: You’ll never pay more by enquiring through us. The price is exactly the same as if you contacted the operator directly.
Here’s what happens when you enquire
01
Submit your enquiry on our website
Tell us about your trip, including your destination, travel dates, budget and any special requirements. The more we know, the better we can match you with the right operator.
02
We introduce you personally To Our Trusted Operators
We’ll introduce you to the operators best suited to your trip. They’ll review your enquiry and get in touch within 48 hours to discuss your plans and prepare a personalised itinerary and quotation.
03
Plan & book with confidence
You’ll work directly with the operators to finalise your itinerary and confirm your booking. We’ll remain available throughout the planning process if you need independent advice or support, and once you’re booked we’ll send you our planning guides to help you prepare.
Why we connect you with local safari operators
There are thousands of safari operators across Africa, each offering different itineraries, standards and levels of experience. Knowing which ones are reputable, ethical, properly licensed and the right fit for your trip can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we spend months researching, vetting and travelling with every operator we recommend. By experiencing their safaris ourselves, we can confidently introduce you to businesses we genuinely trust and believe deliver exceptional safari experiences.
Our role is to bridge the gap between travellers and trusted local safari operators. We make the introduction, help you find the right operator for your trip and remain available throughout the planning process, while you benefit from booking directly with businesses we’ve personally travelled with.

Why Booking Through Us Makes A Difference
Every safari booked through our trusted local partners supports sustainable tourism by helping more of your investment stay in Africa, benefiting local businesses, creating jobs, supporting conservation and strengthening the communities that make these experiences possible.
But we believe responsible travel shouldn’t stop there.
Through our safari partnerships, we’re also able to support carefully selected grassroots African conservation and community projects. From contributing to the protection of orphaned elephants and rhinos in Kenya to supporting a locally run orphanage in Tanzania, every safari helps us give something back to the places and people that make these experiences so special.
