Self-drive
We rent 4x4s fully equipped with camping gear, so you can travel completely independently. Or join a guided trip and we take a rented 4x4 along that everyone can drive every now and again.

Tailor-made safaris for small groups in southern Africa. Every trip is planned from scratch around the people on it.

We run custom safaris and nothing else. There are no fixed departures to fill and no group larger than twelve, travelling in at most two safari cars.
Michael plans your trip with you from Germany and has been on more than 40 safaris himself. On the ground, our onsite guides have more than 1,500 safaris behind them.
The Okavango Delta, Moremi, Savuti, the elephants of Chobe, and the Kalahari in the Central Kalahari and Kgalagadi.
Etosha's salt pan, the red dunes of Sossusvlei, long empty roads, and Bwabwata and Mudumu in the Caprivi.
South and North Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi, Kafue, Liuwa Plain and the Zambian side of Victoria Falls.
Hwange, Mana Pools and the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls.

Fixed lodges in the bush, very cosy and comfortable. Groups stay small, though there may be other guests. Get pampered like in a very good hotel, and enjoy the pool and the wild all day and night.
Flying camps in the middle of nowhere. It can't get more African than this: a fire at night, animals at the table (sometimes), a shower under the sky. The real African feeling!

A few lines are enough. Michael replies personally and starts planning from there.
