Now that we have been working in South Africa for about 10 years, and have our own lodge for a few years, we dare to say with certainty; we've had it with the dime-a-dozen tours in South Africa!

Yes... we are well aware that most people have that exact safari-tour-idea in their heads. How couldn they not? There's hardly any travel organization that deviates from this "formula". From their sales perspective we can actually understand it; by foreseeing a large number of days for stays at what we consider less important regions, the average purchase price is kept nicely low and the profit margin high. And that the tour content is a bit less …well that doesn't bother the average customer. He/she doesn't even know it! Because with a little pep talk in their brochures they can easily make the customer believe that a mouse is an elephant.

We have never worked this way, and we do not want to work this way. And that is why our sample trips always focused on the most important regions of South Africa, and we always do justice to each of these regions. We always avoid cramming too many regions in a too short itinerary. But the concept of "sample trips" is also somewhat outdated as well, because lodges change owners, better lodges become available, prices of transfers and flights fluctuate (just like the Rand), etc. ... and we always want the best for our customers. So we have to adjust our sample trips very regularly, because what is on the website are not necessarily always the best possible options.

That is why we think it would be better to outline all the important South Africa safari building blocks, and give the customer the freedom to combine the desired building blocks, based on personal wishes, budget and available vacation days.

All major building blocks are listed below. For more information; click on a building block, and the website will take you to a web page with all the details. Does the building block appeal to you? Keep it in mind as you look at other building blocks.

Have you chosen all the building blocks for your ultimate South Africa trip, or do you already have a good idea of which regions you want to include? Scroll down to find a list of packages at the bottom of this page. These will give you an idea of the total duration and cost. But whether your desired trip is already described with one of these construction packages or not; the next step is to contact us.
