PRIVATE GUIDED SAFARIS – WHAT ARE PRIVATE GUIDES?
Private guides are travel experts who offer outstanding insight and accompany you and your travel party for the full duration of your stay at a luxury safari lodge, or for the duration of your trip, ensuring a worry-free, and heightened holiday experience.
Dedicated to enhancing your experience without intruding on it, these professionals possess the skills to deliver an unrivaled African experience. Some of the skills they offer include immense naturalist knowledge, the flexibility and creativity to adapt your itinerary as you travel, and outstanding hospitality sensitive to you and your travel needs.
An excellent guide can really elevate your safari experience. If you’ve been on safari, you’ll know this and remember your best guides! Of course, a private guide will be your wildlife guide, spotter, and tracker and ensure your safety. But they are so much more. A private guide will smooth your way. They will be your host, concierge, and storyteller and provide you with insider expert tips.
In short, a private guide is an interdisciplinary expert who ensures your journey is intuitive and truly magical from start to finish.
PRIVATE GUIDED SAFARI – WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Flexibility to plan your own day without missing out
Explore at your own pace. Sure, your guide will advise the best times for what you wish to see/experience. But this is your trip. Every day will be planned and changed to suit your interests, appetite for adventure, or desire to relax. A journey according to your schedule, so there is no need to worry about other travelers or sticking to timings that don’t suit your needs or feelings on a given day.
Peace of Mind
Hand over the reins of responsibility so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself, your surroundings, and the company of your traveling party. No need to stress about the logistics’ or niggling aggravations of the itinerary, flight times, transfers, or needs of those you are traveling with.
Continuity throughout your trip
Get the most out of your experience. You can avoid seeing and hearing the same wildlife, sightings, stories, or information you may get if your trip is full of different places with different guides. Your private guide will know what you’ve seen and heard and ensure you have a rich, varied experience in all the areas you visit. All our guests are different, with different needs and interests. We know this, and so do private guides! Want humor and light-hearted fun? No problem!
Want to know in-depth about the issues facing the area and conservation? Again, no issue! Want to see a particular species? Again, no matter! Your guide will get to know you and your party and adapt to your interests and appetites.
Guaranteed expertise
Private guides have years of experience in the field. This is bred from their love of the bush, wildlife, and conservation. They’ve typically devoted their lives to traveling in Africa’s incredible landscapes and pure devotion to the continent, its cultures, and mesmerizing wildlife. Their passion is infectious. This passion spurs them on to impart their knowledge to every guest. Chameleons, by nature, with charming interpersonal skills, these guides will get to know you well, adjust to your needs and requirements, and understand what you are looking for.
They will impart just the right touch of humor and knowledge to bring a unique dimension to your holiday. Don’t say we didn’t warn you; khaki fever is a thing!
Perfect for families and groups
As you can probably see by now, a private guided safari is thoroughly recommended for families and small groups. You’ll have much control over mealtimes and a flexible daily schedule. Safari Guru Deon, or one of our private guides, will look after all the members of your traveling party – as they have been doing for years.
To truly get to know a place, you want authentic experiences. It is important to meet a country’s people, enjoy its food, and experience its culture. Our private guides will be able to recommend the best of all the local drinks, cuisine, experiences, and activities available.
SO THE ONLY QUESTION MUST BE, WHY HAVEN’T YOU HAD A PRIVATE GUIDED SAFARI BEFORE?
If you’re interested in a tailor-made, expertly curated safari experience, a vacation well beyond any standard itinerary, allowing your group to immerse itself in Africa, traveling with a private safari guide or host in Africa is undoubtedly the way to go. This is an individually crafted journey, and the cost will be highly dependent on the type of guide you choose, where and when you want to travel, the size of your traveling party, and obviously, such things as your length of stay and accommodation and transport preferences.
We can steer you in the right direction, whether it be East African safari itineraries or Southern Africa, including Victoria Falls and the beautiful Cape Coast, the whale capital of Africa, and Cape Town’s highly revered wine regions.
