From the first email to the final sundowner, every detail was flawless. Our guide knew exactly where the wildlife would be — we had front-row seats the whole way.

Frequently asked questions

How does the tailor-made process work?

You tell us your dates, interests and budget, and a specialist designs a personalised itinerary — no fixed packages. We refine it together until it’s exactly right, then handle every booking and detail for you.

Is this safari suitable for children?

Yes — we offer a reduced child rate and can adapt the pace, game-drive timing and camps to suit families. Let us know your children’s ages and we’ll tailor it.

How do I secure my booking and pay?

A deposit secures your dates, with the balance due before travel. We accept secure card payments, PayPal and M-Pesa. Full terms come with your quote.

What about flights, visas and insurance?

International flights, visas and travel insurance are not included, but we’ll happily advise on all three and recommend trusted options.

Can I extend with a beach holiday?

Absolutely. A Zanzibar or Diani beach finale is a popular add-on — we’ll build it seamlessly into your itinerary.
