At Safari Consultants, we believe the best travel experiences are built on strong relationships - with our clients, our trusted partners on the ground and the destinations we know so well.

It's these connections that allow us to create journeys that are not only seamless, but truly personal.

This wonderful image of two meerkats was captured by our clients, Hedley and Rosemary, during their recent safari in Botswana. Alongside incredible wildlife encounters, they experienced first-hand the value of working with a team that knows the destination inside out.

As they shared after their trip:

"We obtained quotes from a number of tour agents all with good reputations and some we had used before without any issues.Ā However we found Safari Consultants via the internet and did not have any experience of their service. We liked all three quotes and they were all in the same ball park price wise. We decided to use Safari Consultants because they came up with alternative ideas, were prepared to replan to meet our budget and gave us the pros and cons of each option. We felt they had a more intimate relationship with the companies in Botswana and gave advice from personal experience and not just asking questions and waiting for answers from the companies."

A huge thank you to Hedley and Rosemary for trusting us with their Botswana adventure and for sharing this fantastic photograph with us.

What is one of THE most important parts of any safari?

Without a doubt: your guide.

Because while the wildlife may be what brings you to Africa, it's often your guide who transforms the experience into something truly extraordinary.

The best guides don't just find animals. They reveal the hidden stories of the bush.

They notice the distant alarm call that signals a leopard nearby. They spot the camouflaged chameleon you may have walked straight past. They explain the intricate relationships between predators and prey, insects and ecosystems, turning every game drive into a fascinating journey of discovery.

It's this knowledge, passion and instinct that elevates a safari from simply seeing wildlife to truly understanding and connecting with it.

That's why, at Safari Consultants, we place such importance on the guiding experience. Over decades of travelling across Africa, we've built relationships with some of the continent's finest camps, lodges and safari teams, ensuring our clients are paired with guides who are not only experts in their field, but passionate storytellers, naturalists and ambassadors for the places they call home.

Property of the Month: šŸœļø Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp

If you're looking for one of Namibia's most extraordinary wilderness experiences – where desert-adapted wildlife roams through vast, otherworldly landscapes and scattered shipwrecks cling to the legendary Skeleton Coast - Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp deserves a place on your radar.

Set deep within the remote Hoanib Valley, this exceptional fly-in camp sits in one of Africa's last true wilderness areas. Rugged mountains, dry riverbeds and endless desert plains create a landscape that feels almost untouched by time.

Accommodation is limited to just eight spacious tented suites, hosting a maximum of 18 guests. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views across the valley, while shaded private decks offer the perfect spot to watch the changing desert light. The family suite, with two interconnected en-suite tents, is ideal for those travelling with older children.

The wildlife here is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Desert-adapted elephants move through the river valleys, alongside giraffe, oryx, springbok and Hartmann's mountain zebra. Guests may also encounter desert lions or elusive brown hyenas. Birdlife is equally impressive, with raptors soaring above the dramatic landscapes.

A stay of three nights or more includes an unforgettable excursion to Namibia's wild Atlantic shoreline, where shipwrecks, towering dunes and vast seal colonies create one of Africa's most hauntingly beautiful coastal scenes.

šŸ“ Hoanib Valley, Kaokoland, Namibia

šŸŒ¤ļø Open year-round | April–August for cooler, dry conditions and excellent wildlife viewing | November–March for warmer temperatures and dramatic desert scenery

We're delighted to share that Safari Consultants Director Michele Seamark has been featured in the latest edition of Travel Africa Magazine.

Exploring the theme of whereĀ leading Africa tour operatorsĀ travelĀ to findĀ theirĀ solitude and calm, Michele shares her love of fishing in Africa's wild places - from the waterways of the Okavango Delta to the incredible Zambezi River.
Ā 
For Michele, it's never really been about the catchĀ (or so she says!). It's about the stillness. The chance to switch off the engine, drift quietly on the water, and become fully immersed in the sights, sounds, and wildlife around you.

"Whatever wildlife it delivers, for me, it's the ultimate escape."

Thank you to for including Michele among the industry voices reflecting on the places that help us reconnect with nature and ourselves.

What if we told you there’s an African island where you won’t see another safari vehicle… only forest and water as far as you can see? 🌿
Ā 
With 35 years of experience travelling across Africa, Safari Consultants Managing Director Rob has stayed in some truly exceptional places, but few have stayed with him quite like Rubondo Island Camp.
Ā 
As Rob puts it:ā€Øā€œIt feels like stepping into a forgotten world…completely wild, deeply atmospheric and unlike anywhere else I’ve experienced in East Africa.ā€
Ā 
Africa’s largest island national park, Rubondo Island offers a rare sense of true exclusivity. No crowds, no traffic, no rush… just endless equatorial forest, the shores of Lake Victoria, and wilderness in every direction.
Ā 
Days unfold slowly here: tracking chimpanzees through dense forest, spotting rare sitatunga and bush pigs in the open glades, or spotted-necked otters along the shoreline. You only need to relax in camp to enjoy world-class birding, whilst boat trips can take you to quiet, hidden coves.Ā šŸ’šŸ›¶šŸ¦œ
Ā 
With just a handful of handcrafted cottages tucked beneath ancient fig trees, genuinely warm staff and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down completely, Rubondo is the kind of place that redefines what ā€œgetting away from it allā€ really means.Ā šŸŒ…
Ā 
šŸ“Ā Rubondo Island National Park, Tanzania
Ā 
šŸŒ¤ļøĀ Best time to go: June to October for dry-season wildlife viewing | December to March for exceptional birding and migratory species | April to May closed season (camp closure)
