Private guide safari experiences
Africa on your terms with your own private guide
Private guide safari
A perfectly tailored safari in the company of an expert
The reasons to book a private guide safari are many, and once you’ve experienced the delight, you’ll likely never go back.
Combined with a private game drive vehicle and chartered flights, it can help keep your family bubble intact. This aside, an entirely bespoke private family adventure makes for memories that last a lifetime, and that means everything in our book.
Private guide safari
A perfectly tailored safari in the company of an expert
A private guide wholly dedicated to your family’s needs and interests will use his or her knowledge and expertise to home in and bring Africa alive in the ways that mean the most to each member of your little tribe — be it fossils or photography, pachyderms or porcupines.
Uninterrupted one-on-one time with a walking, talking encyclopaedia of the wilderness enriches your experience immeasurably. Our favourite private guides are warm, down-to-earth characters who have a wonderful way with kids.
The flexibility it brings is also invaluable. Rather than adhering to schedules or worrying about inconveniencing others, your private safari need accommodate no other whims than your own. This is especially enjoyable if you’ve got younger children.
We’d be delighted to put together a privately guided safari to any of the places we plan adventures in. It’s even possible for your guide to accompany you across the different countries you visit.
This can make for a truly seamless experience and means that each new destination is a continuation of the relationship you’ve built upon, with someone who knows just what you like.
Alternatively, we can also arrange for a selection of the best private guides from each area to show your family their turf while you’re there. Either way, you can’t go wrong, and your safari will be all the more magical for it.
