Types of African Safaris we offer

To a large extent the early exploits of the early Explorers and missionaries the likes of Selous, Roosevelt, Hemingway, some  colonial pioneers others trophy hunters were conducted on foot and often only fully appreciated through the sights of their rifles or the size of the trophy animal.

Nowadays the best way to do an African safari is still on foot but emphasis is on game-viewing and photographic pursuits…

Today, the modes of transport and accommodations have also changed.

When planning trips we concentrate on guiding standards and the use of safari lodges and tented camps.

The locations of these accommodation varies too but in most cases are either within or on the boundaries of National Parks and game reserve areas.

Walking safaris

This is a very loose term used to define an emphasis on walking in game rich areas with an armed, qualified and experienced Professional Guide.

These safaris usually make use of temporary bush camps or permanent lodges as a base from which vehicles and sometimes boats will get you into areas of game activity or specific interest, thereafter you’re led by a Professional Safari Guide to sample all aspects of the environment.

Walking safaris are unquestionably the best way to experience the African wilderness areas.

One can do it in luxury or at the other end of the scale really get back to basics.  The key however is the quality of the guides and location…

Mobile safaris

Mobile safaris make use of 4×4 vehicles usually to cover larger areas or a variety of different habitats in a single trip.  The diversity and relatively large distances between the prime spots in East Africa make mobile safaris the preferred means for covering particularly Kenya and Tanzania.

Mobile safaris offer a high degree of flexibility taking in the full range of accommodation options. These trips shouldn’t be confused with overland expeditions or mini-bus tours.
