1. What countries do you specialise in?

We offer bespoke luxury safaris across Southern Africa, including Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique. We also design multi-country itineraries for travellers looking to combine iconic destinations such as the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town.

2. What level of accommodation do you offer?

We specialise in high-end lodges, private camps, and exclusive-use villas in exceptional wildlife areas. Every property we recommend is carefully selected for its service, style, and location — from private island escapes to tented suites with plunge pools and panoramic views.

3. Can you help with flights and logistics?

Yes. We handle every detail of your safari — from international and regional flights, charter transfers, and meet-and-greet services, to lodge coordination and emergency assistance. Our goal is to make your journey seamless from start to finish.

4. Do you offer privately guided or hosted safaris?

Yes. We can arrange privately guided safaris with expert local guides or hosted safaris accompanied by a dedicated safari professional from start to finish. This is ideal for families, small groups, or guests who prefer a seamless, immersive experience with the added insight of a seasoned guide.

5. When is the best time to go on safari in Southern Africa?

The ideal time depends on your destination and interests. Generally:

• May to October (dry season) is best for game viewing in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe
• November to March offers lush landscapes and excellent birding, especially in Namibia and South Africa

We’ll advise on the best timing for your specific interests, whether that’s photography, migration sightings, or fewer crowds.

6. Do you arrange family safaris or honeymoons?

Absolutely. We tailor safaris for families with children, honeymooners, and celebratory trips. Many of our lodge partners offer family suites, private guides, and child-friendly experiences, while others are perfect for romantic escapes with candlelit dinners and remote luxury.

7. How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (June–October), we recommend booking 9–12 months in advance, especially for popular areas like the Okavango Delta and Sossusvlei. Shoulder season safaris and last-minute requests can sometimes be accommodated, depending on availability.

8. Is it safe to travel in Southern Africa?

Yes. The areas we operate in are well-established for tourism, with high safety standards and experienced on-the-ground teams. We offer 24/7 support, use reputable local partners, and provide detailed pre-departure guidance for peace of mind.

9. Do I need travel insurance or vaccinations?

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance. Some areas (such as parts of Botswana or Zambia) are malaria zones, so malaria prophylaxis may be advised. We’ll provide destination-specific health information when you enquire.

10. Can I customise my itinerary?

Yes. All of our safaris are tailor-made, based on your preferred travel dates, interests, group size, and budget. We’ll work closely with you to design a personalised journey that exceeds expectations.
