ARE YOU THE RIGHT TYPE OF PERSON?
Our safaris offer an experience whereby you need a flexible, open-minded approach to appreciate the value of being in Africa.  Not everything goes according to plan or happens when it is supposed to, this is part of the appeal and beauty of this great continent.  On some trips we’ll push you out of your comfort zone, or maybe rough it for a night or two, to ensure that you get the real experience this could even mean sleeping in a park with wild animals around and no security of a fence for protection.  If you feel this is not to your sense of adventure then you may wish to consider another trip/company.
