African Travel

We feel very privileged to be able to book safaris through what we consider the best safari companies in Africa. As our client on a Kenya safari, you will automatically achieve VIP status from your arrival in East Africa until your departure. We will furnish you with the latest visa applications if applicable, and the proper documentation and vouchers for your trip.

Over the years African photo safaris and wildlife safaris have become our specialty - our experience and expertise enables us to guide you in choosing the safari right for you. We custom design safaris to meet our client's needs by selecting specific camps with activities that are of interest to him/her - from "birding" to canoeing and seeing "The Big Five."

We custom-design each safari to suit our clients' wishes: we have many different camps to choose from, and we're very familiar with the unique style and opportunities for each. We'll help plan the very best safari for you.

You can see a photo tour of some of the camps we use. These are luxury camps, and have to be experienced to be really appreciated.

Please feel free to send us a note, or fill out our inquiry form.

Are you feeling cautious but adventerous the first time around? For first-timers, Kenya is ideal for getting your "feet wet." The Kenya Safari Explorer two week program offers the best in wildlife reserves and National Parks featuring Amboseli, Samburu and the Masai Mara. You can spend a night at Treetops or The Ark and a night or two at world renowned Mount Kenya Safari Club. Seeing wildlife is an integral part of this trip!

For the young, adventurous and brave we might suggest a "Mt. Kili Climb" (Mount Kilimanjaro) coupled with a short pre/post Tanzania safari ...

On Safari Watching Zebra

Do you want to do your own canoeing? We'll often steer you toward Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe and recommend a 3 night stay at Matusadona Water Lodge or Water Wilderness coupled with Chikwenya Camp - and topping it off with a couple of nights at a land camp like Giraffe Springs or Makalolo Plains or Little Makalolo.

For the rushed executive/CEO type of individual we would suggest a "Winged Safari" so you can see as much as possible in as short a time as possible.

For the repeat traveler to Africa we might select the following modules:
1. 2 nights at magnificent Victoria Falls - twice as tall and wide as Niagara, with select activities such as "The Flight of Angels" over the Falls or shooting the rapids below the Falls on the Zambezi.
2. Transfer by road to Botswana and private plane to Kings Pool - 2 nights
3. Onward transfer by private plane to either Duma Tau, Linyanti or Savuti - 2 nights
4. Then on to Little Vumbura (private plane transfer), perhaps to get a close look at the endangered Wild Dogs of Africa.
5. For a water camp experience, perhaps Xigera Camp, Jedibe, for 1-2 nights.
6. Last, but not least: Mombo Camp - 2 nights. All transfers to, from, and between is done by private aircraft, as road transfers are not practical in Botswana.
7. For those with extra time and money - we might recommend a stay for a couple of nights at either Singita or Mala Mala, adajacent Kruger Park in South Africa to experience the ultimate luxury in the "Bush."

Don't forget that these are all "modules," and we gear the combination according to your desires and selections of activities, and the animals present in the region at certain times of the year. We can't guarantee you'll see a specific animal, but we can make the possibility more likely! The safaris we design are really tailored to your needs and desires.
