A personalised Africa Grand Tour will visit several countries on one epic trip. I find that the planning process is where the fun really starts when it comes to arranging longer adventures. Getting to know our guests, having chats on the phone, exchanging ideas and stories is always really enjoyable. Africa lends itself so well to Grand Tours; hopping over borders in east Africa, light aircraft flights and helicopters, dhow boats in Zanzibar and experiencing some of the most incredible wildlife encounters in the world, meeting the friendliest people and exploring their fascinating culture.

When to visit
The countries you visit in Africa, and what you do while you’re there, will have an impact on the best time of year to visit. In general east and southern Africa experience a clear, sunny, cool winter from June to September which is a great time to go on Safari. East Africa experiences a very wet season during March and April which can make safari difficult. Botswana’s green season, from November to April is a great time to visit the Kalahari.
