Booking & Safari FAQ
Choose a published safari, review its trip details and availability, or contact our team for a tailor-made Kenya journey. We confirm the itinerary, dates, travellers and payment terms before your booking is final.
The Lifecycle of a Custom Safari
1. Tell Us What You Want from Your Safari
We initiate a discovery phase where we assess your travel goals. Are you focused on big-cat migration tracking? Macro-photography? Or cultural immersion? We map these goals against the season’s wildlife movements to suggest the ideal locations.
2. Plan the Route
We plan a route around your travel dates, chosen destinations, preferred pace and accommodation budget. Driving times, road conditions and activity options are discussed before you confirm the itinerary.
3. Review and Confirm the Details
Before you confirm, review the proposed itinerary, inclusions, exclusions, accommodation, transport, park fees and payment schedule. The arrangements confirmed in writing will define what is included in your trip.
4. Support During Your Trip
Before departure, ask us how to contact your trip coordinator or local service providers during the journey. Any support, transfers or flight arrangements included in your booking should be confirmed in your itinerary.
Deep-Dive Operational FAQs
Health & Evacuation Protocols
Safari travel takes place in remote areas, where medical services and evacuation options can vary by location. Travellers should arrange suitable travel insurance, including emergency medical care and evacuation cover, and confirm any specific arrangements with us before departure.
Photographic Infrastructure
If photography is a priority, tell us about your equipment and the images you hope to capture. We can discuss vehicle arrangements, charging needs and the most suitable itinerary before confirming your trip.
Sustainable & Ethical Finance
We will explain the costs included in your proposed itinerary and identify park or conservancy fees where applicable. Accommodation and activity choices can be discussed during planning so you can decide what best fits your priorities and budget.
Contingency Planning
Weather, road conditions and wildlife movements can affect safari plans. If a change becomes necessary, we will discuss practical alternatives with you, subject to availability, safety and any applicable additional costs.
