Your
African
Dream

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

Small groups, people who know the bush

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.

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.

Scenic lodges

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.

Wild camping

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!
