More about the Scottish Game Fair...

For a glimpse of our plans ..

• We'll have an update on some our tried and tested trips and simple safari modules and short breaks that include traditional venues and circuits (Victoria Falls, Cape Town, the Okavango, the Serengeti).  We'll be on hand to discuss some exciting new developments in Victoria Falls.

• Zambia is still southern Africa's number one safari destination - we have some very special ideas for lower Zambezi canoe safaris and our walking safaris which offer a simple combination of both the Luangwa and Zambezi valleys.

• We have a fresh selection of safaris using small seasonal bush camps and lodges located in off the beaten path spots including the Moremi, Selinda, the Kalahari, Makgadikgadi Pans, Mana Pools, the upper and lower Zambezi, Kafue, North and South Luangwa valley, Mahale, Katavi, Ruaha, Selous and northern Kenya.  We have some really exciting developments happening in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya - make an appointment with Trish or John.

• Once again we'll be hosting a few privately guided photographic and specialist safaris in Gabon, the Central African Republic, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda this season.  Space is always limited on these trips so please make appointments with Chris or John.

• Zimbabwe and Kenya have had their fair share of bad news this season.  Fi Thompson will be on hand for the latest in Kenya, Trish will have the absolute latest from our Zimbabwe offices.

• See us about some of our "extraordinary safaris" for this and next season, chat to John about a few "expeditionary" trips that we're working on too!
