How do I get started planning my Adventure?

Step 1:
Have a look through our website to see if there are any destinations or particular places which are of interest to you. Take a look at some of our sample itineraries, to get an idea of the flow of the trip. If you have no idea, don't worry, just give us a call!

Step 2:
Contact us at (435) 649-4655 or (435) 649-3554 or by e-mail at safari@safariexperts.com.

This is the most important part of the process as we want to learn about your group's dynamics, needs, and desires for the trip. Once we determine this we can offer you our expert advice on what we feel would most meet those needs. After this conversation we will put together a sample itinerary for your consideration, which will give us a good platform from which to proceed.

Step 3:
If you like what we have to offer, we will ask you to print and fill out the Registration Form and mail it to us with your initiation fee of $250 per person. The fee enables us to start working on your personalized itinerary and means that we have a commitment from you to hold space. Two hundred dollars of the initiation fee will be credited towards your trip when you finalize your travel plans. Since many of the places we recommend are very small and get booked up well in advance, we ask you to let us have up to a years' notice if possible. We can of course do safaris at much shorter notice, depending on availability.

Planning these trips is often very complicated and involves a lot of time, and we will book you with which ever operators best suit your needs. We have NO affiliations which influence our decisions, so together we can tweak and make the changes we need to in order to create the trip of your lifetime!

Step 4:
At completion of planning a 33% deposit will be due to hold the reservation. At that time the Indemnity Form (see Terms & Conditions) must be completed, signed, and returned to us, with your travel insurance information. Thereafter, refunds apply as in paragraph one of the Terms & Conditions.

Thank you for your help in setting up such a wonderful trip!

Between the beautiful landscape, the fascinating culture, the rich history and the wonderful people, it was truly a life-changing journey. In particular Aseffa from Travel Ethiopia was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who was a vast resource of information and enjoyment -- even his laugh was unforgettable!

Most of all, in a country where infrastructure can make travel a challenge, you certainly made sure every detail was covered to ensure that we had a safe, comfortable journey.
