How We Work
Tell us about your African Trip
To begin, provide us with a rough itinerary, activities, dates, and the number of travelers on your trip.
We will call you
Our initial conversation's purpose is to get to know you. We will inquire about your travel style, previous travel destinations, personal interests, and anticipated budget for your trip. We'll both have a better sense of what you want to accomplish once we've gone through this process.
Chat with a Safari Concierge
Our safari specialist will flexibly continue to work with you to retrieve the missing facts from the hazy plan you gave.
Craft your African Experience
At this step, we will start filtering down the hundreds of safari lodges or motels you might pick from. We'll go over how many nights you should spend at each place and why, as well as the activities available in each.
We talk about flights, the best method to get in and out of each destination (our objective is to move you from one region to the next fast,) which may involve spending a little more on the most direct route, giving you more game viewing time! When we've narrowed it down, you'll hear from us within one to two days with a full detailed itinerary including what we discussed and your recommended trip cost.
Add in Personalised details
After we have agreed on the destination you want to visit, we request further details to make the trip suit your expectation. We offer you our unique views and suggestions since we realize that it is the little detail that will make your safari perfect.
After all of the information is in place, we will confirm your lodgings and need a trip deposit of 40% of the total safari price, with gorilla permits, chimp permits, and golden monkey permits paid in full for early reservations.
Final payment is due 45 days before departure, and you will be emailed an invoice prior to that date.
Fine tune your experience
We will continue to fine-tune your trip, such as arranging dinner reservations or scheduling additional excursions or activities; that is what we are here for, and we will adjust until you are completely delighted with your safari.
Prepare for your Safari Experience
Within 20 days, Of receiving your deposit and confirming your trip, we will send you a preparation Package that will include your detailed itinerary, packing list, etc.
We will provide you your final itinerary, contact details (phone numbers of our contacts who will be taking care of you along the trip, emergency contacts, and our after-hours numbers) two weeks before your departure, E-tickets, and copies of this information for your friends and family.
