Bespoke Safari

June 6, 2011 By africa

We specialise  in the creation and delivery of bespoke Safari tours and Holidays.This option is our most popular and all of our set Safaris have been adapted from a Bespoke Safari.

Our job is to tailor each safari to meet our clients expectations exactly, however luxurious or adventurous. We have organised once in lifetime honeymoons where clients have enjoyed 5 star lodges in the Masai Mara with a dawn hot air balloon trip then hopped on a light aircraft and spent the remainder of the trip relaxing on a private beach in Zanzibar, the spice island. For the more adventurous, we have led gruelling fishing safaris to the isolated and desolate Lake Turkana in search of the legendary Nile perch, seeing some of the more colourful African tribes along the way.

We can suit most budgets and pride ourselves in offering the adventure of a lifetime, so if you are interested in a trip why not fill in our enquiry form and we will help you to start your African Adventure!

Budget Fishing Safari

June 6, 2011 By africa


We are able to arrange some lower cost Fishing Safaris to those on a budget. These are generally tented camps close to a well stocked lake or river where you will be able to catch and cook your fish, probably Tilapia. There is always the option to arrange excursions, including tiger fishing  and game shooting – as with all of our safaris, almost anything is possible!

These are fairly isolated and while not quite as wild as some of Africas game reserves, they are a great way to experience Africa the old fashioned way – with just a backpack, a fishing rod and a campfire!

There would always be support close by so could be a perfect father-son adventure, and there is sometimes the opportunity to do some shooting for the pot.

We pride ourselves in offering the adventure of a lifetime, so if you are interested in a trip why not fill in our enquiry form and we will help you to start your African Adventure!

Bespoke Photography Safari

June 6, 2011 By africa

Whether you are interested in stalking game with your camera or are keen to test your skills with the breathtaking landscapes that Africa has to offer, we can build the tour for you. Depending on time and budget we can offer a carefully planned safari with expert driver and adapted vehicle to get you and your camera to the action or we can arrange for an expert ranger to take you into the bush on foot and give you an opportunity to take those photos that are impossible to get from a vehicle, giving you a lesson in ecology and tracking on the way! As always we can deliver almost anything in between.

Naturally, after a day in the bush you can rest your feet with a G&T and a prepositionally prepared meal in a luxury lodge.
