2019-20
Africa - say it out loud to yourself and tell us whether there’s a continent more evocative than this
incredible landmass of ancient cultures, iconic wildlife and stunning landscapes.

It’s a continent we know well, offering travellers popular overland camping safaris since 2001 with
lodge safaris not far behind. And new for 2019, we’ve introduced overland accommodated safaris
that bridge the gap between the two, giving you that expedition-style adventure with the comfort
of a permanent tented camp or lodge to retire to each night.

Whichever way you choose to do Africa, with the accolade of Winner of Best Medium Holiday
Company to Africa at the 2018 British Travel Awards under our belt, you can rest assured we do
Africa well. Take your pick from award-winning itineraries covering Africa’s best safari destinations
in East and Southern Africa, as well as once-in-a-lifetime expeditions that tackle it all, from Nairobi
to Cape Town. Or design your own adventure with the help of our tailor-made team.

There’s more to a safari than spotting wildlife and we appreciate the value of local experiences.
That’s why on our safari tours we offer the chance to meet Masai and Himba tribes in Kenya and
Namibia, visit a local orphanage near Lake Nakuru, and participate in our Balls 4 Africa scheme,
distributing soccer balls to children of disadvantaged communities.

But Africa’s not just for adults – home to the characters of the Lion King, Tarzan, and Madagascar,
Africa is a magical destination for youngsters too. What better way to raise our next generation of
wildlife-protectors than by introducing them to these vulnerable creatures in the wild? We’ve got
family-friendly departures on our overland camping and accommodated safaris, ideal for kids over
the age of 12. And their parents, of course!

However you choose to travel around Africa and whichever itinerary you decide on, we’re sure
you’ll love this continent just as much as we do. Enjoy browsing this brochure and we look forward
to welcoming you in Africa!

When to go?
Wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara, Kenya

When to visit Africa


To help you plan your visit, here’s an overview of what to expect of the weather and special events
to look out for in East and Southern Africa.
Kenya and Tanzania are considered year-round destinations though for the best game viewing conditions, visit during the dry seasons
between June to October and December to February. The lack of water means that the remaining water holes become much more crowded
as animals have fewer drinking options. These are also ideal times for gorilla trekking expeditions in Uganda.

The dry season in Southern Africa lasts from April to October and is considered the best time for game viewing. Cooler temperatures and
less humidity make for more comfortable safari drives and lower the risk of malaria. At the start of the dry season, Victoria Falls are still at
their fullest but the rains have subsided, making it the ideal time to visit.

Lodge Safaris
Sable Sands Lodge, Zimbabwe

Accommodation on our Lodge Safaris About our guides, luggage and vehicles
On our lodge safaris we make use of typical mid-range African lodge accommodation situated either
in the national parks, on the banks of a river or other places of interest.
We stay at a range of lodges and permanent tented camps which are of a 3 - 4H standard. All accommodation is en suite
and some properties have a swimming pool and a bar. Our emphasis is always on comfort, cleanliness and well-managed
lodgings, whilst ensuring we make the most of our surroundings. And sometimes, to add to the true wilderness experience,
simple accommodation in a spectacular location is selected over properties of a higher standard in a less desirable location.

* Gorilla Trek - Price varies dependent upon where trek takes place - Uganda, Rwanda or Democratic Republic of Congo, see page 91. Take binoculars with you - Africa's wildlife are well-adapted to their conditions with coats of fur that make sure they blend into their
