Scheduled Departures

Our Scheduled Departures offer flexible travel options if the dates for our Signature Safaris don’t work for you. On these daily or weekly departures, you’ll travel with a small group of like-minded international travellers.

Our trusted suppliers in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe share our philosophy of personalised small group travel, staying in small luxury camps in private conservancies away from the crowds, and supporting local communities.

These safaris are escorted by professional local guides who take great pride in ensuring their guests experience a fantastic safari while offering insights into their culture and country.

In this way, we can offer daily departures and the tour can also be customised to your requirements – add in extra days at each camp, or a few relaxing days at a lake or beach to end your safari.
