The Journeys Difference
You Get More Than Just Planning
Discover the Wild, Without the Worry
A safari is a journey into the unknown, but that doesn’t mean you should figure it out on your own. We take care of every detail so you can enjoy the adventure, stress-free.
Confidence from Start to Safari
From vaccinations and visa guidance to packing advice and travel insurance, we walk you through every step. We’ve planned safaris for families, honeymooners, and solo travelers, and we know how to tailor it for you.
Insider Knowledge, Real Experience
We’ve visited the camps, met the guides, and tracked lions on foot. That means you get honest advice on what’s worth it, what to expect, and where to go for the most authentic and awe-inspiring encounters.
Custom Routes, Seamless Flow
Multi-stop safaris can include multiple parks, countries, and travel days, but we simplify the transitions. From bush flights to luxury camp arrivals, every leg is coordinated for comfort and ease.
Unforgettable, Within Reach
Safaris come with a range of price points, and we know how to get the most for your budget. Thanks to our preferred partnerships, we unlock added value and help you travel smart without compromising the experience.
You’re Never Alone in the Wild
If something changes or if you just need advice, we’re here. You’ll have access to our team before and during your trip, along with resort-side support. You’ll never feel stranded or unsure with us in your corner.
Let Journeys Do the Planning
Your African Safari, Effortlessly Planned
Let’s Start the Journey With a Free Consultation
A life-changing safari begins with a conversation. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll explore your vision, whether it’s witnessing the Great Migration, spotting the Big Five, or combining wildlife with culture and relaxation. We’ll discuss your preferred pace, comfort level, travel dates, and goals to create a journey that matches your dream, whether you’re after rustic adventure, five-star lodges, or something in between.
Tailored Itineraries and Trusted Safari Partners
Once we understand your travel style, we’ll design a custom safari itinerary just for you, choosing from vetted lodges, tented camps, game drives, and experienced guides across Africa’s top wildlife regions. From Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara to South Africa’s Kruger and Botswana’s Okavango Delta, we match you with the best locations, seasons, and styles of safari to ensure an unforgettable experience.
We Handle the Logistics, You Focus on the Wonder
Safari travel includes a lot of moving parts, and we’ll take care of them all. We’ll arrange flights (including regional bush planes), transfers, accommodations, park permits, and excursions. You’ll receive a complete, easy-to-follow itinerary with everything in place so all you have to do is show up and take it all in.
