Our Value and Services
The value we provide:
1. We have travelled extensively throughout Southern Africa including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls. We can advise on the best way to get around.
​
2. We have stayed in a wide range of accommodations ranging from 5 star top of the line luxury to rustic and places in between. We can advise on where to go or stay and where NOT to go or stay.
​
3. Unbiased information and advice and a level of confidence for travelling to a new destination based on our “been there, done that” knowledge and insight.
4. Recommendations and advice about where to go, what to see and what to do.
5. Recommendations and advice on how to choose a safari - this is probably the major reason for the trip and we can help get it right.
​
6. Tailor made itinerary preparation to suit your interests and needs. The trips we help our clients plan are customized itineraries. They are not group tours or “off the shelf” prepackaged trips. Our itineraries are all tailor made for the client.
​
7. Access to a personally known South African Tour and Travel Operator; a Kruger National Park private safari guide; and other specialists such as photographers and birding experts that we know personally. We highly recommend using local companies because they are local and they are specialists in what they do and can provide an absolutely outstanding and memorable experience.
​
8. Recommendations and advice for the essential day to day things you need to know during your trip.
