Private Guided Safari Experience

Enjoy insider insights and a real personal connection throughout. A private guide gives you the freedom to focus all your energies on the magic of safari.

A privately guided safari offers you an opportunity to enjoy a more bespoke trip with an expert in the field. Dedicated to going the extra mile, our charming and professional guides will ensure that your African adventure exceeds your wildest expectations. A specialist safari guide has a wealth of knowledge from which you can draw upon. Whether your interests lie in birding, geology, or photography, or perhaps you’re looking for someone who speaks your native language, we will do our best to ‘match-make’ you with your ideal guide.

As well as benefiting from a pool of expertise to dip into whenever you wish, going on safari with a private guide adds a unique personal touch and element of continuity. You’ll get to know your guide well, as they will be with you throughout your journey. Fascinating local insights and insider perspectives can really take your safari to the next level.

Leave all logistics and uncertainties about travelling in a foreign country at home. Our intuitive guides handle everything, so you don’t have to. They’re experts in planning dreamy days, with smooth sailing from one location to another. The only decision you’ll need to make is what to drink as you watch the sun go down.

WHAT TO EXPECT

For our guides, Africa is their homeland. Their boundless enthusiasm for the wild is infectious and excites an intrepid energy in all who experience it.

It’s hard to put the experience offered by a private guide into words, as it goes far beyond their local knowledge and expertise. Of course, this plays a huge part. Ask them anything, anytime, and nine times out of ten they’ll impart their in-depth knowledge of the local flora and fauna, usually with the addition of a personal story and a little humor. But, aside from this, they enrich a safari in so many ways.

Expect to get to know each other well, as you’ll be spending a lot of time together – be it on a guided nature walk or over dinner-time discussions. Your guide will quickly become an expert at anticipating your needs. Days will be designed specifically to match your preferences and maximize your enjoyment. You don’t need to worry about making daily plans, as your guide will make the right decisions for you. A private guide will ensure you get the most out of your time in Africa.

Personal guides make the whole experience more relaxing and fun. Their deep-rooted ‘bush-sense’ puts you totally at ease, and logistics are deftly handled without you even knowing. The peace of mind provided by a guide is invaluable – it enables you to completely unwind and fully embrace every aspect of your adventure. Mutual trust is built, and often lifelong friendships blossom.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The best bit about having your own private guide is that it allows you to make a unique, ‘off the map’ and truly memorable African adventure.
