While we’re all desperate for new adventures – lockdowns will do that to a person – we know the uncertainties of travelling during a pandemic can be nerve-wracking. With the help of a dedicated personal travel partner, a little pandemic-proof planning, and some expert advice along the way, it doesn’t have to be. We can’t promise things will always be stress-free, but we can help you be as prepared as possible.
Pandemic Peace of mind, guaranteed
When a Pandemics involved, things can go wrong. Flights get cancelled. Governments close borders. We get it. That’s why we promise to fully refund your deposit if the pandemic gets you down. Our flexible deposit guarantee takes the risk out of booking your travel, so you can start planning the ultimate African safari without worrying about the stuff you can’t control.
Personal planners
If you ask us, there are three things in this world you can’t live without: a decent financial adviser, a great deli just around the corner, and a personal travel planner. With all the constantly changing rules and regulations, travel experts have never been this needed or more popular. Ours keep tabs on all the latest information, so when you need an expert, your dedicated Travel Specialist is on hand. While they can’t predict the future (yet) they’ll always have a finger firmly on the pulse to manage every aspect of your safari as efficiently as possible.
Cover your butt
Don’t leave home without travel insurance. That’s one of our golden rules. When there’s this much at stake, making sure you’re covered is one of the best things you can do. And for African travel cover the specialists are, Global Rescue. Check them out. Whoever you choose, make sure your policy includes cancellation and curtailment specifically for Covid.
Safety all the way
The African safari circuit is well-versed in observing global pandemic protocols. From sanitised transfers and socially distanced dining, to health screening for staff and guests, and enhanced housekeeping and deep cleaning, our safari partners play their part in keeping everyone safe. When you’re planning a safari with us, we’ll tell you what to expect at each lodge. That way, you can feel totally comfortable in even the most far-flung places.
Keeping things exclusive
One of the things that makes Africa so appealing is how remote it is. Its wide-open spaces, enormous private game reserves and intimate guest numbers mean you’re socially distant without even trying. If seclusion is a priority for you, upgrading to an exclusive-use stay is a great option. Many of the camps and lodges we love have private villas, complete with your own private staff, safari guide and game-viewing vehicle.
