Def~ safari –sa•fa•ri/səˈfärē/
Noun: 1. An expedition to observe animals in their natural habitat.
2. 2. A journey or trip: a sightseeing safari. ...
Let us draw you into the world of the African bush, where Mother Nature rules, and all her subjects follow the rhythm of life in the wilderness. It can be a savage, harsh place, raw but exquisitely beautiful. Its a world where your senses become heightened, the dry smell of the dust hanging in the motionless air, the oppressive heaviness of the air around you as the storm clouds gather, the sweet relief and aroma of the raindrops as they hit the parched earth, rolling thunder across the plains and a shiny new world washed fresh and renewed after the rain.
Water is the key to life in Africa.
Elephants follow ancient trails the length of Africa in search of it, wildebeest in the largest migration travel great circles in east Africa, Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti following it, the zebra of Botswana, the 2nd largest mass migration follow it from north to south and back again, and an a century ago millions of Springbok would migrate following the rains from the deserts of the west coast to the east coast of southern Africa.
With the prospect of rain comes new life, the antelope and plains game bear their young to coincide with the rains… as these animals travel, so do the predators who follow.
So begins the journey…

WALKING SAFARIS
Walking safaris are what a safari should really be all about, low impact on the environment and they exude the romance of a bye-gone era.
Some camps are static and walks are conducted from the camp, some are conducted from the main lodge to a fly camp and some are totally mobile.
They come in all budget levels from the ultra luxurious with butler and candelabra etc., to the budget, pitch your own tent style in state camping sites.
Which ever way you prefer to go, there is nothing that compares to sleeping under canvas in the wilderness.
ANIMAL SPECIFIC
Animal wish list safaris "what is your favourite animal you would most like to see"? Where they happen to be endangered species, the objective is to plan
the Safari where research is being conducted and the animals are monitored. The guest would then be part of the research team for a week or longer if they
wish, and a percentage of the safari would go to research/ education of the community etc.
BUSH & BEACH / DESERT & SWAMP / DESERT & DELTA
Combination safaris are popular and suit a family, here we put diverse options together for you eg. From the desert dunes of Namibia to the jewel of the Okavango Delta in

Take in some city, great restaurants, and spas, then retreat from from the maddening crowd to intimate bush camps, and spas in the wilderness, where massages and treatments can be conducted in the open air with a host of interested onlookers such as elephant, giraffe, hippo rounded off with a gourmet meal under the stars in an out door boma.
