"Everything in Africa bites, the safari bug worst of all"
Our Story
We are more than a safari company, we are a family business that is passionate about wildlife, nature conservation and have had the pleasure of calling the bush home. Our roots are in Africa, our hearts too.
After many years of guiding in South Africa and living in Hoedspruit, the heart of Safari country, we are offering you a different way to travel. A way that is more personal, more authentic, and very intentional in the way you experience Africa. We want you to see what we see and feel what we feel.
How do we do this, you ask? All our tours are personally led. From the time you arrive to the time you leave, you will be in safe hands, with all your needs taken care of using local knowledge. Our groups are small, with a maximum of 8 people, and although game viewing is a major part of our trips, you will have plenty of time for relaxation.
