Each safari is tailored exactly to the needs of individual clients and timed to coincide with optimum wildlife activity. Africa is a very diverse and action-packed continent and each destination is chosen according to seasonal wildlife activity. Whether you are a first-time traveller to Africa or a wildlife connoisseur looking at finding and photographing rare animals, we will put your African safari together. We only visit highly reputable wildlife destinations, lodges and camps that we are personally familiar with after visiting and inspecting these destinations ourselves. All our safaris are individually guided by the best professional guides in the industry, all of whom are well qualified and experienced in their respective fields. We have also expanded our services to include Ground Handling of South African safaris for international travel agents. Additionally, we also offer a professional Commercial Photographic Service to game lodges and safari camps throughout Africa.
