South Africa Holiday - Safaris Africa

Camping Safaris, semi-participation
Our semi-participation Camping Safaris run with a maximum of 10 clients. We operate this type of safari throughout Southern Africa. A guide, who is both driver and cook, will accompany the clients. We want our clients to be part of the experience and therefore ask them to participate in the tour. This
means, that the participants will be responsible for performing and helping with certain tasks, such as setting up and breaking down of overnight camps (tents, chairs, tables), packing and unpacking the vehicle, assisting with preparation of meals and cleaning dishes. The guide will do the cooking and
be responsible for all other organisational duties.

Deluxe Camping Safari, semi-participation
We offer semi-participation Deluxe Camping Safaris throughout Southern Africa. This type of safari also runs with a maximum of 10 clients and a guide, who is both driver and cook, and offers two different levels of accommodation. The group will be a combination of clients booked o­n a semi-participation Camping Safari as well clients booked o­n a semi-participation Deluxe Camping
Safari. We make use of properties that have camping facilities as well as chalets, lodges or tented camps. Standard and Deluxe clients will travel and enjoy their meals together. The Deluxe Option gives the additional comfort of extra-bedded accommodation. The accommodation used is simple, clean, 2-3 star typical African standard, with a mix of shared and private bathrooms. Clients are also asked to help out with the camp duties (setting up and breaking down the overnight camps, tents, chairs; packing and unpacking the vehicle, assisting with preparation of meals and cleaning dishes. The guide will do the cooking and be responsible for all other organisational duties.

Camping Safari, non-participation
This type of safari runs mainly in East Africa with a maximum of 5 clients o­n scheduled tours. A guide and a courier/driver will accompany the group. The Crew will be responsible for all the camp duties
such as setting up the camp, preparing and cooking the meals and cleaning the camp.
We can also tailor-make your camping safari to a non-participation camping safari level in Southern Africa whatever the group size may be!

Lodge Safari, non-participation
Last but not least there are also scheduled Lodge Safaris. These safaris also run with a maximum of 10 clients, accompanied by a guide, who is also the driver. Most of the breakfasts and dinners are provided in the restaurants of the Lodges. The guide will prepare lunches and, o­n certain days (such as when we stay inside a National Park) breakfast and dinner as well. This is a non-participation trip.

Local Payment
On most of our Safaris a local payment needs to be paid to the guide before the tours starts. Your local payment covers o­n the road expenses such as National Park entrance fees, excursions and activities as well as the use of local guides. This provides your guide with sufficient funds o­n the road and ensures that your money goes to the African communities directly.
