Why have a private safari?

Why have a private safari?

A private guide elevates your entire travel experience, not just your game drives and wildlife encounters.

You will benefit from the expert knowledge of a seasoned wildlife and photographic guide, but you will also have hands-on assistance with your travel arrangements, check-ins, and communications along the course of your itinerary. This is the ideal way to journey through a new country or cover a variety of safari destinations seamlessly and in the company of a qualified pro.

As a photographer, a private guide will be there to give you tutelage and advice as you require it, enhancing your experience behind the lens. With a practiced history working in wilderness environments, Lance can advise on appropriate camera gear and equipment in particular wildlife sightings, and predict the behaviour of animals. setting you up to capture the best images you possibly can. It is a one-on-one dedicated experience.

From a customised safari point of view, opting for a private guide means total personalisation of the journey. Private game viewers for you and your family, an adaptable safari schedule designed to suit your needs, more time in the field, at photographic hides, or searching for specific species.
