NO. 1 FOR SAFARI IN THE SUNDAY TIMES TRAVEL MAGAZINE

“Why it’s top: The firm’s knowledge – of hundreds of camps in 12 countries – is extraordinary, gained through thousands of hours spent exploring the continent. Ask directors Michele and Rob where to see wild dogs, for example, and not only will they tell you the prime spots, but they’ll name the very best guides for the species”.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

Hi Michele, another really wonderful trip and great contrast to the Pangolin one. Much more classic sightings, but the quality of the sighting was amazing!

Hello Rob, we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone booking a trip to Africa. The next time we go, you will be the first company we go to

John and Valerie from Worcestershire travelled to Zimbabwe

October 2018

Dear Rob, the trip exceeded my expectations. Accommodation and food generally of a higher standard. I purposely did not do much research before going, so much of the trip was a wonderful surprise. Certainly has stimulated thoughts of visiting Africa again.

Susan from Worcestershire travelled to Namibia

October 2019

The trip was absolutely perfect! NOTHING at all went wrong from the charter flights, to Covid tests. I’m so happy with how the trip turned out it was seriously so amazing. We had a great time! So thanks to you, and your team we so appreciate it. Again Frances thank you so much. This trip was amazing and of course when we can go back we will definitely use you again!

Hwange is well known for its large elephant popula

Hwange is well known for its large elephant population, with the dry season in particular (July through to October) attracting hundreds of elephants to the pumped waterholes and natural springs across the park. May is slightly early in the season to see the huge numbers but we still had some amazing encounters over our five nights. The majority of the camps have waterholes right in front of camp, as well as some hides, which allow for up close viewing of these magnificent creatures coming down to drink. They provide constant entertainment with the big male bulls making their presence known and the breeding herds with the ever playful babies. Hwange is truly a must for elephant lovers. Frances.

Zimbabwe had late rainfall this year which meant t

Zimbabwe had late rainfall this year which meant that everywhere was very green and beautiful, and the grass was longer than usual. Despite this I still had fantastic game viewing in Hwange National Park with multiple lion sightings including cubs playing and a big male roaring right next to our vehicle (there’s nothing quite like that sound!), cheetah on the hunt and even two leopard sightings.

I spent five nights across the park and saw the huge diversity Hwange has to offer - from the south east region of the park, with its beautiful open plains and expansive pans dotted with palm trees, through to the more remote north, where the habitat distinctly changes to mopane woodland, with natural springs as well as the pumped waterholes.

Magical Mana Pools has welcomed me back to Africa

Magical Mana Pools has welcomed me back to Africa with wide open arms - and what a welcome it has been! I have spent the last four nights on the stunning banks of the Zambezi River staying in a variety of different camps. My time has brought me the most magical light dappled through the riverine forest, intense exciting safari experiences on foot tracking both lion and approaching elephant, stunning sunsets over the majestic river, beautiful birdlife and completely re ignited my love for Africa all over again.

Clients Michael and Susan recently returned from t

Clients Michael and Susan recently returned from their first safari to Botswana. Originally booked in 2019, they had a long wait but it was well worth it and as their fantastic photos show, the wildlife viewing was excellent with superb birding and big game in the midst of Botswana’s ‘green’ season.

Our very own Joe has also just returned from a ‘green’ season visit to Botswana and you can read about his trip in more detail on his recent blog – link in bio

The Okavango Delta in the green season is stunning

The Okavango Delta in the green season is stunning. Game viewing is more challenging than in the dry season, but patience can lead to some incredible sightings.

I spent six nights in the Delta, combining Khwai with a number of private concessions. Birding was superb with lots of migrant species in residence which adds another dynamic to a green season safari, not to mention the more affordable rates. A wonderful return to Botswana and all being well, the camps are in for a very busy year!
