Personally planned adventure vacations await you!  The only limit to your adventure is your imagination.

With travel styles designed to suit each individual, you may dream of strolling the vineyards of South Africa, or try to control your adrenaline while on safari in the Sanbona Wildlife reserve.  In a tent, under the stars, or sitting poolside pampered with 5 star service, we'll show you the Africa that lives inside your dreams.   

We can create personal itineraries for only two, or tailor make a journey for an entire group.  Unique explorations to Egypt, exuberant tent resorts and camp lodges in Kenya, and the magic of the Delta beckon.  

Take home the experience of what these magnificent lands have to offer, and awaken what sleeps inside you!
