Everything around the trip

The tour is the part people picture. The flights, the visa, the transfer that meets a delayed plane and the lodge that answers its phone are the parts that decide whether it works. We do all of it.

Tailor-made itineraries

The core of what we do. You give us dates, headcount and a budget; we come back with a day-by-day route, real availability and one costed quote. Reworking it is free — most itineraries go through two or three drafts before anyone pays anything.

Flights & ticketing

Domestic legs to Victoria Falls, Bulawayo and Kariba, regional connections through Johannesburg and Nairobi, and international ticketing. Booking the internal flights with the rest of the trip is what stops a missed connection turning into a lost safari night.

Visas & travel documents

Current entry requirements for your passport, the KAZA UNIVISA when a trip crosses into Zambia, and the letters and permits that park gates and border posts actually ask to see.

Transfers & car hire

Airport pickups, inter-city road transfers with a driver, and self-drive or chauffeured vehicles. For the parks we arrange transport that is rated for the roads it will be on, which is not always what a rental desk hands over.

Accommodation booking

Lodges, camps, hotels and houseboats across the country, plus our own Tranquil Trails Lodge in Harare for the nights either side of a trip. We book what we have seen or can vouch for.

Groups, corporate & conference

Family groups, tour parties, company retreats and conference delegates. Rooming lists, staged arrivals, meeting space and transport for everyone moving at once.

A single flight is a fine reason to call. So is a fourteen-day itinerary for twelve people.
