We take you or your guests to city hotels with the best value-for-money guarantees. This way, you get the best available accommodation at the lowest price possible. This is why most of our tours have all-inclusive prices. On safari, we use unique and scenically located safari lodges and tented camps that are located within the national parks, reserves and conservancy areas and offering local and international cuisine. More often than not, we also use exclusive safari lodges and tented camps that tend to be much smaller, more personalized and more luxurious than the traditional safari lodges. This accommodation type offers charming rooms, outdoor swimming pool areas, atmospheric dining, ‘sundowners’ (within the lodge or in the surrounding wilderness scenery), game drives, guided walks and cultural visits.

Professional Venue Management and Administration

Finding the right venue for an event is one thing, but converting it into a practical workspace and creating an atmosphere that will help attendees exceed the business goals of the meeting, is another thing. We endeavour to provide our clients with the best quality Audio / Visual communications systems, technical support, and implementation at the best value resulting in enhanced communications that afford a greater level of “connectedness” transforming how the delegates communicate and collaborate at the seleceted venue. Our managers know that being organised is invaluable to your event's success. They achieve this by constantly reviewing your objectives to make sure you are staying on track to reach your organizational goals. Our professional event planners do not forget about the “wow” details that make a corporate meeting enjoyable.

Custom-designed safari programs build camaraderie, reinforce team-work and develop problem-solving skills in an exciting and action-oriented adventure.

Post-Event Evaluation and Reporting

Most event organizers forget about everything that just happened as they collapse in exhaustion. We DO NOT. We make sure we evaluate the event’s performance. We take a deep dive into the data we have collected, compare results to your goals, and log results for future reference. We toast to our successes, and view any struggles as challenges to overcome next time around. We also cap off the event with a post-event guest survey using questionnaires. This gives us the external information we need to evaluate the event’s reception and learn where we excelled and where we can improve in future.
