Common questions

Anything else? Ask a specialist →

How far ahead should we plan?

Six to nine months is ideal for peak seasons and safaris. Shorter notice is often possible — share your dates and we’ll be honest about what’s available.

Is there a fee for a proposal?

No. Your first proposal and any revisions are free. You only pay once you’re happy and ask us to confirm the bookings.

Can you plan for families or groups?

Yes. We regularly plan for multi-generational families, couples and small groups of friends, adjusting pace, rooms and activities for everyone.

What if something changes while we’re away?

Your specialist and our 24/7 support line can rebook transfers, hotels or guides on the spot, so a delay never becomes a problem you have to solve alone.

How do payments work?

A deposit secures your journey, with the balance due eight weeks before departure. Every cost is itemised in your proposal before you commit.

Ready when you are
