PLANNING YOUR ITINERARY

There are numerous ways in which you could choose to explore the beauty of Africa. Several of our itineraries can be combined to form long tours. For those who have limited time, you can combine one of our many Fly In packages with any of our tours.

Anti-malaria precautions are recommended for all tours and clients are advised to bring insect repellent.

COLLECTION/DROP OFF POINTS

Collection points can be arranged at most accommodation establishments (not private residences) in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Nelspruit and Cape Town for certain tours. We will drop you off at the same accommodation establishment unless stipulated to the offices beforehand or to the guide on tour.
