‘Safari’

/səˈfɑːri/
Noun

An expedition to observe animals in their natural habitat, especially in Africa.

In Swahili, the word safari means ‘journey’. A context that has recently lost its meaning for those who visit Africa’s national parks. It has become synonymous with sitting in a vehicle and looking at wildlife. When we talk about a safari journey, we want to make it absolutely clear that we don’t deal in mere safari trips. We need it to be more than that. Our specialty is to create those ever-lasting memories you can only experience whilst being on a true journey.

We are confident that the only way to exceed expectations is to start your journey with the right partner. This is why we want to be very transparent about our values and beliefs and how we bring these to our guests, so you can decide if we’re the right partner for you. This is because we value your time and how you choose to spend it.

The quality of your experience comes down to your connection with nature and wildlife. We believe the strongest experiences come from going out into the wild, at your own pace and by welcoming the unique and authentic encounters with Africa’s wildlife. It never fails to deliver breathtaking moments that cannot be bought or recreated. This is the greatest treasure of a safari journey. We don’t deal in plastic safaris. We understand that out there in the bush, we are but humble visitors in the domain of the animals.

We take care of guests who understand the rhythm of nature and are open to discovery. Spending more than one or two days in Kruger National Park allows you to slow down and align with the bush’s natural pace. It gives you the chance to notice the smaller, equally thrilling details while greatly increasing your chances of unique, close encounters with the most awe-inspiring inhabitants of the Kruger.

If you’re out in the bush all day, that doesn’t mean you can’t do it in style. From the moment you step into our vehicle, we want you to feel like you’ve embarked on a first-class journey. Our vehicle is thoughtfully outfitted to elevate your comfort and make your safari truly unforgettable.

We proudly partner with lodges that consistently deliver exceptional quality across every budget class. We offer you the freedom to choose accommodations that best suit your preferences. Acting as your personal liaison, we communicate your preferences directly and handle any concerns on the spot. This ensures a seamless and personalized experience, without the delays or inconveniences of coordinating with a travel agent who might be half a world away.
