Safari Specialists predominantly design and co-ordinate safaris in Botswana but also extensions throughout Southern Africa. We not only have a vast wealth of knowledge of Botswana safari and holiday destinations, but also an up-to-the minute contact with what is happening ‘on the ground’ and are able to offer you important travel tips and in-depth information on what to expect on safari.
With our base in Maun, Botswana, we are present to meet and assist guests on safari and provide support and assistance throughout the trip - reconfirming flights and accommodation, following up any lost luggage or other ‘hiccups’ that may occur during your travels. We work flexible hours in order to maintain family life, which means that you can feel welcome to skype/chat in the evenings if it suits you better than during set work hours - it also means flexibility between time zones for our international client base.
Being a relatively small company, our low overheads enable us to keep our charges to a minimum. Combine this with our access to local operator rates and strong relations with our suppliers means that we can offer you a competitively priced holiday that doesn’t compromise on quality.
We offer you our knowledge and experience to help you plan your safari to Southern Africa, which is generally the ‘trip of a lifetime’, so you experience the best safari option for you. Expectations and preferences vary, so the more information you give us in the planning stages, the better prepared you will be to make the right choice of destination and itinerary. Given the vast choices available and very different styles of accommodation, management and guiding /service, we believe you are better off making an informed decision rather than selecting a price based itinerary choice from a brochure.
Our area of most expertise is Botswana, having a base there and, over the years, we have developed extensive knowledge of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and Namibia. In addition we have selected certain locations in South Africa to focus on, including the Western Cape, Garden Route and Kruger National Park and surrounding areas that offer great holiday and safari destinations. Over time our product knowledge increases further afield, as travelling is a way of life and a passion for us all at Safari Specialists.
