TENTED ADVENTURES

 
'Safari' is an old Swahili word from East Africa translating to a journey. When we put together our safaris we try and incorporate as many different ways as possible of viewing, experiencing and enjoying our interactions with the wildlife that we encounter. The accommodation that we use ranges from the rustic, explorer experience in a dome tent to the more luxurious safari camps that my even have a private sala. Concentrations of wildlife that are not bombarded by the same concentrations of vehicles or boats are where we try and focus our journeys.

How we Travel:
When coming on safari guests are often limited on the amount of time they can spend away from home. For this reason flying in light aircraft is the fastest and most convenient way to travel from area to area. Some remote areas do not have airstrip facilities and a helicopter flight is an option for a unique experience opposed to a long drive through some relatively unproductive tracts of land. However in areas that we feel that road transfer will enhance the journey that is the mode of transport we will suggest. This allows guests to absorb the scenery, landscape and the wildlife seen along the way at the same time getting an in-depth understanding of the ecology, culture and history.

On game activities the mode of travel is varied to allow for different experiences. Fibreglass canoes, mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), pontoon boats, horseback, elephant back, safari 4x4`s, hot air balloon, micro light are on the list of possibilities depending on where your journey leads you or where you lead your journey. Given here are a few itineraries to give you an idea of how we piece our journeys together but our safaris are by no means limited to these itineraries.
