Designing your safari

Ok, let’s get into some detail for those of you who are ready to start thinking seriously of a Barefoot in Africa adventure.  Here are some things you may need to think of.

Allow us to create a tailor-made itinerary for you or you can perhaps consider joining a group tour with set departure dates and a set itinerary. 

If you want a special itinerary just for your group/family, you might need to consider things like:

How many nights you’d like to be on safari

How big your group will be (4-9 people is a perfect size)

How fit and adventurous you are (that will affect whether we do lots of walking or game drives)

​

Do you want to see any other parts of southern Africa?  Options include:

Cape Town & Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years)

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe safaris, a luxury cruise on the magnificent Zambezi River, Hwange National Park

The Garden Route, Stellenbosch (wine region)

Sun City resort, a tour of the famous Soweto township

The Okavango Delta. 

​

We can help you or advise you on some options with any of the above

​

Do you want to be escorted all the way from Australia or from Johannesburg? 

​

Do you want to spend a little bit extra and fly directly from a major city (eg: Johannesburg) to the safari lodge?  Or do you prefer a longer but more scenic road trip? 

What level of luxury are you looking for?  You can spend upto $3000 per person per night but to be honest, we think that’s ‘overkill’.  Most of the lodges we use are luxurious, comfortable and authentic.  But the choices are endless.
