Going on safari means…
- ‘Social distancing’ is part and parcel of being on safari
- Loads of space and remote locations are the perfect escape from crowded cities
- With all that limitless space, you have a wide variety of social distancing dining option, both out in the bush or within the lodge itself
- Game drives are naturally in the ‘open’, and perfectly aerated with the pure African bush air — thanks to custom-adapted safari vehicles that have no windows
- Traveling on safari gives us the opportunity to contribute to conservation and be part of looking after the welfare of our wildlife and the local communities who benefit immeasurably from your stay
- Safaris give you and your family the opportunity to detox from the drama and digital distraction of daily life, breathe the most pristine, clean air and create lifelong memories and closer connections with each other.
We really do live in a beautiful country… and aside from the vast beauty of its diverse eco-systems and landscapes, majestic wildlife and breathtaking experiences you can enjoy in Africa, our people are our biggest asset. I am so proud to be part of these incredible people and that I can call this magnificent place ‘home’.
More reasons why an African safari should be on your bucket list:
- LOW people densities
- AWAY from cities
- PRIVATE accommodation with plenty of exclusive-use options
