Planning Your African Safari Tour

If you intend to visit a single safari lodge that is relatively close to a major city — Singita Ebony, for example, which is an hour’s flight from Johannesburg — the travel logistics are relatively simple. But an extended safari will involve complex transfer arrangements, from scheduled flights to light aircraft, and from lodge to lodge, on poor roads in wild country. In these circumstances, you will need on-the-ground assistance at all stages of your trip. Things can and sometimes do go wrong.

The Andrew Harper Travel Office has reliable partners throughout East and Southern Africa who will do their best to ensure a seamless itinerary and who will be on call 24/7 to mitigate the inconvenience of any unforeseen mishap. I strongly urge you to think of a safari as an integrated journey, which should be orchestrated by professionals familiar with the realities of travel in Africa.
