LANDROVER SAFARIS ( ENQUIRY )
 
This is a journey for the truly adventurous who want to explore far from the beaten track into remote areas of southern Africa in the footsteps of famous explorers past and present. We shy away from mass tourism and simply create a sense of team spirit and camaraderie where nature in all its beauty can be enjoyed while you take your own path to self discovery. Every safari has the ability to become a life changing experience! We don’t have an age limit policy, as the right attitude, an open mind and flexibility to african conditions are the most important prerequisites for you to appreciate our safaris! Clients with strong individualistic tendencies and attitudes will not enjoy this sort of safaris and it will be unsuitable for them. Our safari guides are highly experienced, professional, and respected in their field and chosen for their interpersonal skills and ability to communicate and educate clients in the ways of Africa. We utilise the skills of local guides wherever possible giving our clients a true insight into local environment and culture. We endeavour to make the least possible impact in the areas through which we travel and use a fleet of 4x4 LandRover defenders specifically built and designed for the rough conditions and terrain of rural Africa. We have recently introduced a luxury Range Rover for those who like a bit more comfort and a little less adventure!
