Planning Your Safari Itinerary

We invite you to do your own research using this site, the Sample Safaris, Links section, and the recommended books for Africa and Australia, but if this feels like too much work, call us at (435) 649-4655 and we can discuss options!

There are countless books written on Africa and Australia, and some of them are difficult to get in this country. Included in each section is a list of those that are currently available or that I like personally.

There is such a vast amount of information on the Internet, and in the brochures at the travel agencies, that it is quite difficult to discern the good from the bad, and what really will suit you and your family or traveling partners. Having spent many years there, we can ascertain the logistics required to get to each place, thus maximizing value for time and money. We spend a considerable amount of time each year traveling to different places in Africa to inspect them and assess the logistics. We are in a better position than almost anyone in America to help your safari. As this will be the greatest holiday of your life, it is important to get the maximum value from it.

We do not put groups together. You can choose your travel companions or travel alone if you prefer! We will make a safari work for you whether your group size is 1 or 20! As we are completely independent, we can advise you on the best of every different safari outfitter and operator, which often does NOT mean working through just one operator. We deal direct with the various companies in Africa, so there are no expensive middlemen involved.

Over the years, although humans are on a rapid increase, and game numbers are declining correspondingly, facilities and options to see them have improved too. While this means a lot more tourists in some areas, we focus our advice on trying to find places that are "off the beaten track", away from the minibuses and other tourists, where one can see and enjoy Africa as it always has been. We do not advertise, We rely completely on word-of-mouth introductions. Your trip will need to be perfect so you will tell your friends about us!

During July and August, Tim personally guides small groups of up to 6 people himself while they are at Lewa Downs. If you would care to read what a few of our clients have felt about the Safari Adventures we have planned for them, please read our Testimonials.
