At the airport you will be warmly received by a member of our professional staff and during the drive to the camp you will learn a lot more about your coming adventure in Africa.  At the camp you will fully understand the term African hospitality.By the time you leave, all of those smiling faces that you met at the start of your safari will be solid friends and you will be planning the return trip as you fly home. It's amazing how a one-time encounter can change your life. The lasting excitement of this personal milestone makes it the yardstick by which you will measure everything else in your future.
