Privately guided safaris

What is a privately guided safari?

A private guide is a person dedicated to your travel party throughout the duration of your privately guided safari or trip, accompanying you to the specific areas you intend on visiting. Your guide is the single most important factor influencing the success of your safari.  

Good private guides are made up of many part: spotter, tracker, host, storyteller, and concierge. All of these elements can combine to create a simply unforgettable holiday experience. Although hiring a private guide will add to the cost of an itinerary, the knowledge and experience that they bring with them is simply invaluable.

On a privately guided holiday, you’ll explore some truly inspirational corners of Africa, all the while benefiting from the knowledge and company of an expert private guide who takes care of every detail from start to finish.

Each day will be customised to suit your interests, whether it’s an appetite for adventure, a desire for relaxation, or an informative trip for your children.
