We are safari consultants; travel agents who specialize in Africa – only Africa. Our focus is on high quality, high end, safaris for discerning clients. We are not a big company nor do we want to be. We offer a number of scheduled group trips (up to 8 guests per scheduled group departure) or if you prefer (and most travelers do) we would be happy to arrange a personalized safari to fit your needs – this is our real passion! If we feel that you are looking for something we do not offer we will happily suggest a company more suited to handle your request. 

We know Africa intimately. Each of our professional safari consultants has lived and worked in Africa. Managing director Ian Proctor has personally stayed at over 250 hotel / lodge / camp properties in east and southern Africa and inspected hundreds more! Our consultants spend 6 to 8 weeks each and every year in Africa; not only to insure that each property meets the high standards we demand for our clients (it is our policy to regularly, and personally, visit every property we recommend, and many others besides), but also because we love Africa and its wild areas.
