Of course, safari is by far the most popular activity in Africa, and what truly defines your trip. The decisions you make in the planning process can dramatically effect the outcome, so it's important to work with an expert to work through the options with you. Terrain, territory, animal density, public or private, vehicle type, ease of access, malaria, and on and on. These are all considerations we talk through when deciding on the perfect safari for you.
Would you rather stay in one spot for a longer time, or would you like to experience many locations? This decision will influence where to experience your safari. You want to be sure that your trip has variation, whether it's in one spot or many, so we will adjust your itinerary accordingly.
Driving in a safari vehicle is the most common way, but there are other options as well. Boating, walking, horseback, biking, just to name a few.
Safari camps come in many different types, including mobile tents, permanent tents, and solid structure lodges. We'll match the accommodation type to your vision of Africa.
"Dean is nothing short of a miracle worker. I highly recommend his services, and will surely seek him out again during my next trip to my new home away from home. Thank you, Dean!"

There's much more to experience in Africa than just a safari. We can add in as much, or as little, as you like. Whether it's visiting awe-inspiring sites or meeting fascinating people, we can help plan additional activities based on your interest.
Combine your safari with a few days on the beach, allowing you to rest up after your adventure. Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique are easy add-ons, or for something special, visit the Seychelles, Mauritius or the Maldives.
Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts the largest curtain of water in the world. This is an easy add-on for any trip to Southern Africa, or for an extended trip from East Africa. Plus, there is so much more here than just the falls.
For those looking for much more than a safari, South Africa is the easy choice. Explore cosmopolitan Cape Town, taste wine in the world-class Winelands, drive the scenic Garden Route and immerse yourself in their captivating history.
"From our first meeting, it was clear Dean really knew what he was talking about. We ended up going to a number of different locations in Kenya and Tanzania, ending the trip on the beach in Zanzibar. WOW! What an amazing experience. Each safari lodge was better than the last! If you’re going to Africa, ask for Dean!!"

Getting around Africa can be difficult. The distance between locations often has no bearing on the time it takes to actually travel it. This can be due to things like traffic congestion, poorly maintained roads, infrequent flights, etc. Our team are experts in planning the logistics to eliminate, or at least minimize, any inconveniences.
We recommend flying between locations whenever possible. We use only the top rated scheduled and charter airlines in Africa.
We will meet you at the airplane door to help you through the airport, and introduce you to your private transfer or onward domestic flight.
Your safety is our primary concern. While the evening news here at home may sometimes report on unrest in Africa, our trips are designed to avoid any such areas and are no more dangerous than a trip to Europe.
Our team on the ground in Africa are a quick phone call away, day or night, whether for an emergency or to simply ask a question.
Although the medical coverage in most areas is excellent, we can provide optional Medjet Insurance that provides medical transportation back to the US.

We create experiences so that Africa will have an Impact on you, and just as importantly, so that you will have an Impact on Africa.
We have a strong commitment to improving the conservation and communities in Africa, as do our supplier partners.
Through our close connections, you have the option to join a veterinarian and/or conservationist for a variety of possible procedures, including giving a wild rhino their shots and insert a microchip tracker into their horns.
Travel plays an essential role in helping the local communities in Africa. Our partners all support local programs, and you'll have the opportunity to visit and learn about these programs. We can plan special experiences if this is a particular interest.
"We just wanted to thank you, Dean, for planning our trip of a lifetime to South Africa. The camps we stayed in were all first rate and our guides were outstanding. From the moment we arrived at the Victoria Falls airport, through both safari camps in South Africa, the wine tours in Cape Town, to the time we flew home, everything was perfectly under control. There were ten of us in our extended family from young to old, and you clearly understood how to make us all happy. We’ll be in touch soon to book another trip!"
