Why Choose Safari Consultants
Trusted Since 1983
For Exceptional Tailor-made Safaris
When it comes to Africa – you couldn’t be in better hands.
The success of our holidays is first and foremost based around our own in depth knowledge of safari Africa. Built up over decades and kept current with months spent travelling in Africa every year, our expert knowledge and first-hand experience allows us to offer the very best safari advice possible, and tailor your personal African adventure accordingly.
We only specialise in Africa and are not tied to working with specific safari operators, so our expert advice is always 100% independent and we have complete flexibility when designing your itinerary.
Safari Spirit
Professional Meets Personal
Great advice alone is not the whole story and, as our long-standing success and customer reviews demonstrate, we focus equally on providing a totally professional and very personal service as well. We’re known for our warm, friendly style and attention to detail and we enjoy getting to know our clients, especially those who travel with us often.
In fact, getting to know you a little is crucial for us to understand what will work best for you. Safari holidays are complex in nature, and by understanding your interests and requirements we can ensure that every little detail is taken care of.
All pre-trip information is clearly provided along with 24/7 personal service whilst you are away, so you can relax and focus on enjoying your holiday.
OUR ETHOS & WHAT WE OFFER
1. The best advice possible.
Really good advice is the cornerstone requirement for any ‘specialist’ safari holiday, and will turn your experience of Africa from a ‘good’ holiday to an ‘exceptional’ holiday. We only specialise in Africa (and the Indian Ocean Islands) and our team of safari specialists are continually travelling to check up on places, visit new destinations and learn about the practicalities of travelling around the African continent.
2. Friendly, personal and caring service.
Planning and booking a specialist safari holiday should be a fun and energising experience. We have always been a small company offering a very personal service. All of our customers are extremely important to us and treated as such, and we meet many of them in person, either when planning their holidays (where practical), at travel shows or at social functions we arrange. We are passionate about Africa and genuinely care about the success of every holiday we arrange.
3. Professional at all times.
We endeavour to provide prompt responses to all enquiries and questions, clear and correct information at all times, flexibility throughout and attention to detail with your preferences and requirements. When you travel with us, you always have our full support and back up, as our management team are on hand 24/7 in case of any difficulties or emergencies.
4. Smarter Spending
All our customers require good value for money and fair pricing every time they travel. On a more subtle note, our specialist knowledge is crucial in ensuring you really make the most of your holiday budget. We are also fully bonded for your financial protection.
5. Sustainability
We prioritise sustainable tourism, supporting conservation, local communities, and eco-friendly lodges. For every trip booked, we make a financial contribution to conservation and community projects in Africa, ensuring your travel has lasting benefits for wildlife and people.
TALK TO US
FINANCIAL SECURITY
Safari Consultants are fully bonded for flight-inclusive packages through ATOL (membership number 3783) and for land only arrangements (without flights) through ABTOT (membership number 5246). This means your money is protected when you book with us. We would not recommend booking through a company that is not fully bonded, and we would not recommend booking directly with companies in Africa where you have zero protection on any level.
AFFILIATIONS
In addition to being fully bonded, we are also a member of AITO (Association of Independent Tour Operators) which brings together many like minded small travel companies and service providers to promote quality service and specialist knowledge within the travel sector.
We are also proud to be linked with a number of charitable organisations both at home and within Africa, and more information about this can be found on our dedicated Our Responsible Efforts page.
