Planning Your Safari

YOUR TAILOR-MADE AFRICAN SAFARI PACKAGE

We love Africa and live here, and we want each client to have the unique experience they deserve while discovering all
the reasons why we choose to make this continent our home. Whether it’s a romantic African honeymoon, a family safari,
or safe solo travel, your personalised once-in-a-lifetime Africa tour is waiting.

What goes into deciding what would make the ideal African safari itinerary for you?

Here are some things that New African Safaris looks at when helping you put together your private tour:

DESTINATIONS Africa is a big place! Do you want to go wide across several African countries or deep into one?

The number and geographical distance of your destinations will influence how much time is spent in each spot and the travel routes.

We can advise on whether your choice of routes or destinations is possible or advisable, and recommend some options you hadn't thought of. HELP ME PLAN BUDGET Some African countries are more expensive than others. East Africa, Botswana and Zambia are more expensive than South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, for example.

Accommodations range from rustic to ultra-luxury, but in some cases, the remote location of lodges or level of guiding are what drive up the price.

We would never send guests anywhere we wouldn't stay ourselves. HELP ME PLAN TRAVELLER TYPE Who are you and who are you travelling with?

Couples, families with kids, friend groups, seniors, solo travellers, active adventurers, and foodies.

Divers, golfers, cyclists, horseback riders and photographers.

We can tailor our recommendations and tailor a safari itinerary specifically for you and your party. HELP ME PLAN EXCLUSIVITY Do you prefer to see classic, popular tourist destinations that draw crowds?

Or would you prefer hidden gems and the chance to be the only Landrover at the lion kill?

How busy a location is also depends on the month of travel.

We can advise you according to your appetite for action or seclusion. HELP ME PLAN TIME OF YEAR Is there a specific time of year in which you can travel, or are your dates more flexible?​

Certain times of year - such as July and August - are very popular and fill up sometimes a year in advance.​

In some cases, travel is not possible due to heavy rains.​

You may also be able to pick up deals by travelling in the shoulder season. HELP ME PLAN WILDLIFE While some travellers are interested in local human culture, most people visit Africa for the wildlife!​

The big 5, the small 5, the marine big 5, the ugly 5, the magnificent seven.

Rare birds, amphibious antelope and migrating fruitbats.

We can organise safaris and specialised guides depending on what animals you'd like to see. HELP ME PLAN ACTIVITIES Are you purely interested in Africa for its safaris? Or could we interest you in:

Cultural experiences, Walking safaris & trekking, Diving and snorkeling, Mokoro canoe safaris, Hot air balloon safaris & helicopters, Wine tours, Whitewater rafting or Sport fishing ​

We can add any of these to your tailor-made tour package. HELP ME PLAN TRANSPORT How do you want to get around? We can help you to book:

Self-drive car rentals, Chartered & commercial flights, Boat trips & ferries, Luxury trains or Airport transfers.

Some countries such as South Africa and Namibia are recommended for self-drive, while many others are not due to road conditions and distances between attractions. HELP ME PLAN
