An Africa Safari is about the most amazing holiday that anyone could ever imagine. Think of outdoors, spending time watching fantastic wildlife, walking, learning about trees and plants and generally feeling more in touch with oneself and alive!

It might be better to watch this video to see exactly what I mean!

Africa as a continent lends itself entirely to bespoke holidays. I find it an anathema that people should want to purchase a package that was made for somebody else. No two people are the same so how can two safaris or holidays be the same? In twenty two years, we have never assembled exactly the same safari for any two clients simply because, we are all so individual – with individual tastes, hobbies, interests and requirements!

This is where we come in – arranging beautiful bespoke safaris and holidays to Africa. Whether pursuing chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains, staying in a gorgeous Bohemian styled tented camp on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, or having a fly camp erected purely for your party in southern Tanzania, complete with private vehicle, guide and crew or walking through northern Luangwa in Zambia or canoeing down the mighty Zambezi river with one of Zimbabwe’s finest guides – this is what dreams are made of!

Have a luxury private camp set up for you in Botswana or get close to the bushmen or San people, obtaining a privileged experience of seeing them dance in a trance, or take an Arab dhow through the Quirimbas region of Mozambique. Watch the wildebeest migration in Tanzania from a private mobile safari or luxury camp, or even from the Masai Mara. Come close to gorillas and chimpanzees in Rwanda and Uganda. Hot air balloon over the world’s highest sand dunes in Namibia or stalk to the Black rhino on foot. Go out with lion or elephant researchers in Kenya, or on an elephant back safari in Botswana. Sample the finest wines in the in the Cape or have some of the most stylish accommodation on a family holiday. Learn how to make pottery in Malawi or take a catamaran along the shores of the Lake. Ride in the Kalahari Desert or in the Okavango Delta.

Have a private guide accompany you throughout your safari, sharing their knowledge in detail or perhaps have a guide fly you to all your favourite parts or Africa. All this and so much more is available through bespoke Africa safaris.

I really don’t think there is any other way of undertaking a safari these days with complete success unless it is entirely bespoke, which is exactly what we do at African Explorations.

Bespoke Safaris from AfricanExplorations.com

In order to ensure the perfect success of a safari, one has to really understand what makes that person tick – the sort of accommodation they would most enjoy – from a luxurious lodge complete with butler service, to a  small, intimate permanent lodge or tented camp in a beautiful location, to a private mobile tented camp erected purely for you. Then if you would require a private guide to accompany you throughout your safari – and if so, we must ensure they match your personality – then we need to include any particular hobbies or interests that you may have. Perhaps scientific – in which case we would arrange for you to accompany a lion scientist, or go out with an elephant specialist, or a wild dog specialist. Perhaps you might be interested in photography, in which case we would select a guide or camp which facilitates just this – camps that provide bean bags and special platforms for your camera – some camps even have a media room – and then one can even join a specialist photographic safari. You might be a keen birdwatcher, in which case we might even place you on a special Shoebill stork safari.

It may be a wonderful family safari – in which case we would listen carefully to the interests of your children and match them – sending them to places which offered perhaps a private villa complete with skipper and private boat – or a luxury Robinson Crusoe styled place with more watersports than ever imagined!  We can arrange for you to spend a day with a Samburu or Maasai warrior, learning about their culture – or even visit a school. You may be a rider travelling with a non rider – that is easily arranged, too! You might want to sail at the end of your safari – just say the word! Perhaps you simply want something completely luxurious and utterly romantic – we have all the places at our fingertips! Whatever it is you wish to do – we can tailor it to you – perfectly! Bespoke Safaris are, after all, just what we’re about!
